My grandmother's name was Emma Jane born March 25, 1873 in Lewis County >Kentucky. Her mother was Lucinda Dixon and her father was Alexander >Royster--according to family history, Lucinda and Alexander never married. >Lucinda died when Emma Jane was about three. Alexander took the child to his >cousin Sylvester Smith and his wife Sara Jane (Frazee) Smith and asked them to >raise her. Of my Grandmother's children, my Uncle Bob is the last remaining >child who is still alive and remembers this information. As a young man, he >remembers his mother writing to her father who had moved from Kentucky to >Illinois and married and was raising another family. Would like to know about >my Great-grandmother and her family. Any help is appreciated.
