Life History

Notes

• "I am the g-greatdaughter of Mollie Terry.  She was married to my g-grandfather Stephen Gaddy before she married Duncan. ... None of the 5 children show up with her on the 1910 census and I am so curious to know what happened to Stephen.  Her youngest child would have been 5 years old when she married Duncan."

  "I would assume that Mollie and Steve married in IT since the older children were born there.  Bessie and Jessie were twins and I think Jessie must have died in infancy.  Bessie was blind and ended up in a home for unwed mother's in CA.  I have had contact with her grandson who was adopted from the home.  He is an Air Force flight surgeon.  He seems to think that Steve [Jr] ended up in CA, but I have found no trace of him after he was mentioned in the 1910 letter written by Duncan."

  "I found a letter that [Duncan Lafayette] Terry [Mollie's second husband] wrote to one of his daughters and it was written on Christmas Eve [1910].  He says that Steve, Roscoe and Ethel [and Elmer] are coming for Christmas. ... Roscoe served 7 years in a Huntville prison for being in on a robbery that ended in a killing of a constable. He didn't fire the gun. They were off their military base at the time."
