Willie Gregg b.4/20/1890?
2/6/03 from Connie*That name is actually Reese Ephie Jeffrey who married Martha Havard on August 6, 1903. Reese was Marion's stepson, Olivia Strain's son by her second husband-Jacob Franklin Jeffrey. Olivia was still pregnant when her husband passed away.
2/6/03 on a website I see that they also have him marrying a Clevie Alice Gregg. Well the Gregg is right because Olivia was married four times and I can see where the Olivia would maybe be deciphered wrong if the writing was hard to read. But I am beginning to think if her middle name wasn't Alice. The family has always said it was Mariann. She had a daughter with Ephaim Cannon named Marie Alice and another named Mattie Ann Who they called Annie.
The husbands for Olivia are: Ephaim Cannon married about 1880; Jacob Franklin Jeffrey married Feb 17, 1885; Willie Gregg married sometime bet 1886-1891; and then Marion Grimes married September 2, 1897. Olivia is buried next to Marion in the grimes cemetery and so is Martha Jane McVey with Marion in between them. Connie Hilton Garcia
