James M Jerden Sr and Etner(nee) Bradford raised their family in Memphis, TN James was born in Kentucky but also lived in Arkansas I believe Etner( known to us as Etta) was born in Tennessee Children were: James(aka Roe) Jr./ D B(Dorsey B)/Bertis/ Carmack/ Bertha(Burleson?)/Beatrice(Griffin)/Reece/Mazel(Patterson)/Avery(all now deceased). There was also a child lost to pneumonia, I believe.I am not exactly sure of the birth order of the older children and I don't know if the little girl died in Memphis or Arkansas, I seem to remember that she died in Arkansas. My father(Reece) took us to Mark Tree and Jonesboro once and spoke of his sister dying. I have found no record of her death. I had very little contact with my cousins on my fathers side as most were much older. I have no contact at all with my second cousins. Hope this will be of interest to someone.
