| On 6 April 1874, Sumner County was created from the northern part of Choctaw
County, Mississippi (north of the Big Black River) and part of Montgomery County on the
west. On 30 January 1889, The name Sumner was changed to Webster. (See Webster County
history for more details.)
For the births on this page, I've shown the official county name at time of birth, with Webster in parenthesis if appropriate. I am reasonably sure that the older Embry and Snow family members lived in the same general vicinity around Bellefontaine and Embry from the time they arrived in (original) Choctaw County until it became Webster. I originally had the children born in Embry, MS, but that is not known, and I've simply shown county births. In 1900, after the Census in June, William and Isaac Newton Snow, Ophelia's older brother, moved their families to Texas. Embry family lore says they "went by boat," but they may have used the nearby Natchez Trace to Natchez, MS and then took a boat to a Texas port. William settled in Comanche County near De Leon and worked as a carpenter. Researchers report that, according to Isaac's son, Ira Noel, "upon arriving in TX, Isaac and Beatrice settled on the Mayfield place in the Greens Creek community, a few miles from Dublin. They were both baptized in Greens Creek and became members of Greens Creek Baptist Church." Isaac and Beatrice are buried in the Upper Greens Creek Cemetery in Erath County. |
| Thomas Loyd married Della Rucker (1891 - 1926). They lived in Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto, Texas. |
| Carl Troy also lived in Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto, Texas. He was married and a WWI veteran. |
| Bertie Pearl married Alvie Stephens. He operated a dry cleaning shop in Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. |
| Mattie's first husband was Jack John Kruger Sr., born 1920 Oklahoma. Enlisted WW II 27 Jan 1944 while living in Palo Pinto Co. They had a daughter that died very young in Mineral Wells, and a son, Jack Jr., who is buried in the Live Oak Cemetery, in Dublin. Mattie's second husband was (unknown) Hill. Mattie's headstone has "Matt B. Hill." |
| Myrtle Willie married Hiram Bryan "Pete" Kendall about 1924. He was born 16 Apr 1896 in Glover Gap, Marion, WV and died 1 Jan 1981 in Graham, Young, Texas. They had no children. Myrtle died from Alzheimers, which was so very prominent in her sister, Ada Belle's large family. At the time of her death, Myrtle was in a nursing home in Levelland, Hockley, Texas under the oversight of a niece, Robbie Lavelle Hoover Briscoe. |
