The Emby L Center listed on the 1880 census as a "Stepson" of John
"Jackson" Center and Liddie N (Lydia Narcissus Hart)
Center was in fact my Grandfather, Emby Luther Hart. The term "Stepson", I feel
was in error and that "Foster son" is a more correct term. Emby L Hart was a son
of Hiram Hart and Lydia Elizabeth Anderson that had died prior to the 1880 census of T. B.
Hiram Hart was a son of Peter Hart and Charity Taylor of Ashe County NC and Hawkins County
Tennessee and a descendent of Peter and Dority Hart.
Emby L Hart along with his "Foster" brothers Maynard Embry Centers and Thomas
Centers were all living in Whitman County Washington State in 1920.
Emby's Washington State death cert listed his mother's name as "Liddy"
but it so happened that was both his real mother's first name and the name of the
mother that raised him.
Oral family history from Emby's sons said "That both of his parents died when he
was very young and that he was raised by Cousins and Uncles." Lydia Narcissus Hart
was his older Cousin and also a descentant of Peter and Dority Hart.
I welcome any additional information or corrections regarding this matter and any
information as to the grave sites of Maynard and Thomas Centers.
