    Description: I am a granddaughter of Ellen Lucille Branham, daughter of Alice LaRue Neel, daughter of Mattie Marshall.

    Ellen Lucille Branham Liford, known as Lucille, had five children (only one is listed on your website). They are:

    Jerry Dewey Liford, Jr.
    Jean Liford
    T. JoAnn Liford
    Danny Liford
    Karen Sue Liford

    I can give you the children and grandchildren of the above people if you wish.

    My Grandma, Ellen Lucille, did not know this side of her family due to her mother, Alice LaRue, passing away when she was about 2 years old. I am rediscovering this side of my family through Ancestry.com.

    P.S. A couple of other things:

    1.Grandpa Liford (Ellen Lucille's spouse) was named Jearl at birth. When he grew up, he preferred to be called Jerry. The courthouse with his birth record burned down, and those with records were asked to come and record their information again. When he did, he recorded his name as Jerry. That is why his son is Jerry Jr. rather than Jearl Jr. Not sure if this is important, but I thought I would let you know.

    2. I have read that it was typical for Scottish or Scots-Irish people to name children after the child's grandparent. Could Ellen Lucille have been named for her grandmother Martha Ellen Marshall?
