SON GEORGE: HIS CHILDREN. In June 1972, I asked M.E. to tell me the names of George's children in order of age. Minnie, in New York; Theresa Marie Spicer (or Spicen), in Wilmington; George Jr., in New York; Norris, married, in Wilmington; Jackie Grisset (son Leonard Wayne) in Wilmington; Gary (has a baby and will get married) in Wilmington; Ronnie, now 7, in Wilmington with father. 

Theresa has three daughters and three sons. "The three girls are smart and very religioous [[religious]]." Daughter Beverly lives with Theresa (George 10/31/75); Beverly is studious "doesn't watch TV". Joseph Spicer, Theresa's husband farms tobacco. 

JACKIE: daughter of M.E.'s son George: While M.E. was sitting with me in my car at gate house (6/22/72), Jackie drove up in shorts and T shirt. She came to M.E. and said she needed twenty dollars because her car had not been inspected. M.E gave it to her, then Jackie took a dollar bill from M.E.'s smaller purse. M.E. told me that Jakie gets paid tomorrow and would pay her back "some" Also, M.E. told me that Jackie's husband is violently sadistic; he has been in jail (6/22/72). 

Wayne - M.E.'s great grandson, George's grandson, Jakie's son, "draws very well" (3/3/71)

Mrs. Kelly showed me some family pictures (6/23/72). When she showed me old pictures of Harriet Evens (Julius' mother) and Mary Jones (her own mother) she said of them "They didn't come no prouder than those two ladies". I used a photograph of Mrs. Kelly, taken that same day, and my reproductions of the small old photographs of Harriet Evens and May Jones, in a college with the words printed on it. I consider it a very important work. Mrs. Kelly also told me some tales of her life at that time, and I recorded some of them. 

These two paragraphs need merging. 

ANNIE MAY LAMB DAVIS: Mrs. Earl Davis. She now prefers to be called Anne. Her husband, a doctor, died, but I met him when I visited their home in Greensboro in 1975. Their address then was 1103 South Benbow Road, Greensboro, N.C. 27420. Mrs. Davis has two portraits by "Uncle Bob Williams" (the fifteenth of Rachel's 16 children): one of M.E.'s great
