for Homer Gregory, but he is probably Laura's son also.

Comments 45y of this place

I note that although Laura was living with her daugher Nettie in 1930, with
her "feeble-minded" daughter Edith, her place of death was reported as
Taylorsville, where the family had been living before Daniel passed away. 
This seems odd, since she had moved into Nettie's household, probably because
at her advanced age, she had tourble caring for Eidth by herself.  At some
point after 1930, probably after Laura's death, Edith was placed in a state
home.

Some time after her death in 1934, Laura's daughter Edith L Gregory was placed
in a home for the feeble minded in Logan County.  Nettie and her huband
probably decided that with Nettie's mother gone, this was the best way to care
for Edith.  Their brother Berley had died in this institution in 1916 at age
16.

Notes for Elizabeth Mildred LASITER


Elizabeth Mildred Lasiter was married 4 times.  She first married William H
Medling.

Tennessee, Marriage Records, 1780-2002
Elizabeth M Lasiter
Wm H Medling
Marriage 18 October 1852 Rutherford County, Tennessee, USA
Cetemony by Rev James M Hunter
Recorded Roane County Marriage Book, Page 109, Record #1227

---------------------------
William H Medling and Elizabeth M Lasiter

William H MEDLING was born on _________, died around 1857. He married October
18, 1852 Elizabeth Mildred LASITER, was born Jan 2, 1828, died March 24, 1915,
daughter of Thomas J Lasiter(Lasater) and Sarah Weaver.
Children of William H MEDLING and Elizabeth Mildred LASITER were as follows:
1. Theodocia, born1853
2. Mary W born March 5, 1856 in Harrison County TX, died February 24, 1934 in
Wheeler County, Shamrock TX.
--  Mary Molly Marvel Davis, born 1866, By Jeff Davis, Genealogy.com,
http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/marvel/371/
---------------------------

The first record I ever found for Elizabeth was as the second wife of John
Briscoe in the 1860 census of Hunt County, Texas, with two children named
Medling from her previous marriage.  She is reported born in Tennessee.

Ephraim Briscoe 11 M b Texas [born abt 1849]
Theodocia Medling 7 F b Tenn [born abt 1853]
Mary W Medling 5 F b Texas [born abt 1858]

I checked on Medling names from Tennessee, and found a sparse genealogy
listing a Caswell Medling, born in Rutherford County, Tennessee, in 1830. 
This reported that Caswell had died in Texas, but no county or date was
mentioned and no documentation was given.  This genealogy gave me the names
and dates of Caswell's parents but no spouse.

Caswell Medling
Birth 1830 in Milton, Rutherford, Tennessee, Death in Texasx`x
Parents:
John Medlin 1792 - 1848
Sarah Susannah Lasater 1796 - 1845
--  Lyle, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/5215144/person/1408509112?ssrc=&ftm=1

Checking out these clues, I found a marriage record in Rutherford County,
Tennessee for a William H Medling and Elizabeth Lasiter.  Look at the marriage
date.  This is about the time John Briscoe's wife Rebeca died.  Elizabeth
Medling Briscoe's first daughter was born about 1853, so this would match her
marriage to William Medling in 1852.  But how does the name William fit with
Caswell?  It sounds like two different individuals.  But I cannot find any
individuals that fit more closely.

Some genealogies report that Elizabeth died in January 1915.  But a census
entry for James Marvel, with matching age and birth state, and in the same
precinct of Grayson County, is reported as a widow, living with his daughter
Belle DeSpain.  The death date is not documented in the genealogies that have
it.

But even though James reported he was widowed, he was still married to Mildred
at that time.  They divorced in 1912.  Perhaps they were already separated,
and he was too ashamed to report that in the census.  Mildred died  in 1915.
