Sharron,

I know nothing about Zelma Gray...only that my father, Cliff Waggoner, was her third husband, they divorced in the fall of 1999....she died in December.....then my father was killed in a tractor accident in June of 2000. She had 4 children by her first husband Henry Gray, Herschel, Bobby, and Sue.....there was another son but I don't know his name.

Thanks, Sharron,

Do you have any info regarding Arena Gray and how you determined that she
had married Nathan Hamby Melton. He had two wives....guess he could have
three! LOL Would be interested to know.

I noticed in the Gray info that you had sent to Vera that you had listed
Zelma Gray...the woman that my Dad married. She was a Gray by
marriage.....don't know WHAT her maiden name was. My Dad was her third
husband. Her first husband was Henry Gray.

Smiles.....Cousin Evalyn

Someone sent in the Gray information. "May" have been Sharon Scott. (can't
remember) and I looked to see if I could find any obituaries to send along.

> His first wife was Emily Francis Carel Risener/Risner. Most of our
records show that he had four children; James, William Wright, Henry and
Annie. Annie and William came with Nathan to Arkansas. Just before moving to
Arkansas Nathan AND father Joseph spent time in Southern
Illinois.....Jefferson/Marion County....in Walnut Hill Illinois. That is
where Joseph is buried. When Nathan filed for his pension, Henry died young,
James wasn't with him BUT living, and W.W. and Annie were with him. Haven't
been able to FIND James. I long ago connected with a cousin who descends
from William Wright. "Bill" became a "hell fire and damnation" preacher!

was married three times.....not two. I descend from Nathan Hamby "Ham" and
India Anna Hays Morris Melton.
