But didn't great grandmother get married and stay married? Lived her life right! Not like the fast little girls we have today.
My great grandmother had 5 husbands. She married the first at 15. He was in his 40s and she was considered lucky since married to him they could not take the land she owned. (Rocky, hilly soil cut by a river in North Carolina)-- her first husband died of the flu and she got married again right away. She had to be married to exist.
She was a remarkable woman.
