Hello, Anyone out there who might have information on the Sport family from Red River. I am interested in the girls Ada/Florence and Lizzie Sport. I know that they both married the same man. Joseph Thomas Jemison, Lizzie married him first and when she died he married Florence/ada. Any information is good.
