Mom's great aunt, Elizabeth Thornton, dau of William Thornton and Elizabeth Stell, married a Gerald, and had a daughter named Mildred. Everett "Ebbie" Gerald taught school in Fouke and had one of my elder aunts, Addie Maribeth Davis. He turned her upside down and swatted her bottom with a plug of tobacco. Do your Gerald's connect?
