Antoinette Anthony Glover (b. Feb. 12, 1899, d. Sept. 25, 1997) was married on June 10, 1917, to Albert Eugene Watlington in Jackson, Tenn. Although her parents lived in Jackson at the time, they were from the Whiteville area, where they had operated a store before moving to Jackson. Their farm and apple orchard seemed to be across the county line in Fayette County, where several Glover and Morris families lived. They moved to Jackson in the winter of 1904-5 before Lucille was born July 6, 1905, and their fifth son Edward was also born in 1910. At that time they are listed in the City Directory at 148 Pearl Street with Robert listed as a carpenter. Other Glover families were listed in Jackson in 1910 also.
Robert Alexander Glover was a son of Wylie A. and Olivia (Bea) Southall Glover. Wylie was born Nov. 1839, in South Carolina, and was listed in the 1870 Census index in Fayette Co., Tenn. W. A. Glover was listed in Jackson, Tenn., in 1910 with wife Olivia and other Glovers. The family had connections in Hardeman, Fayette, Madison and Shelby Counties. The 1850 Census of Fayette Co. includes Wiley Glover (age 22) and Alex Glover (age 25) as single men, with the Stephen G. Carnes family. Wiley A. married Lee G. Southall on Dec. 13, 1863.
The family of Frances L. Morris was mostly in Fayette Co., Tenn., and migrated toward Somerville and Memphis. Mary Carraway Morris resided in Memphis with her sons Ware and Gussie Morris during her latter years. Sons Johnny and Will lived in Somerville, Fayette Co. Dr.\ John W. Morris (b. 1885, d. Jan. 1986, Somerville, Tenn.) was a doctor in Fayette County for many years. He was the founder of Morris Medical Clinic in Somerville and held extensive land interests in West Tennessee. He enjoyed bird hunting and was a leader in the bird dog field trials at Ames Plantation near Grand Junction, Tenn. for many years. Evidence indicates that he was a first cousin of Frances L. Morris, b. 1866. Other Morris families were in Fayette Co. also.
Recent research in Fayette Co. indicate that the parents of Frances L. Morris are David Grey Morris (about 1840-1875), who married Mary A. Carraway, Fayette Co., Tenn. The Fayette Co. Historical Society has helped research these two families for us.
