Children of James Williard Carper and Mary Ellen O'Briant: There was Franklin
Patterson Carper who died in Roanoke. He married twice, I know one wife was Nellie Ora
Poff. He had 4 kids with the first wife. Glenn Edward went into the navy (because of mean
stepmother Mary Drucilla Sheppard Carper), and never returned. Rosa Lee Married Thomas
Marshall Neese and they stayed in Pulaski. And last was Fred Vernice Carper. He married
Fanny Hoback and they also stayed in Pulaski. They has 2 kids, a boy who died young, and a
daughter named Vernice who married a King. His brother Donald King was my
grandmother's first husband who drowned a year after they married. So Vernice was her
cousin and her sister-in-law. Rosa Lee and Tom had 6 kids: twins that died at birth, James
Marshall Neese (married Nellie Bays), Ralph Neese (married Ila Lawson), Virginia Beatrice
Neese (married Albert Jones then Garnett Fields Crowder), and then was my grandma Frances
"Colleen" (married Donald King, then !
Charles Saylor). My great aunt Virginia's first husband abandoned her and 2 babies
by throwing his hat in Claytor Lake and going to West Virginia. Many years later he
reappeared in various places. Many interesting stories.
