  • Notes 
    • Had a boarding house. Wm Albert stayed with her for a while.
      What was her name really?
      Mamaw says her name was Anetta Parker. "Annetta said Quannah Parker was her uncle" [unfounded]. Emmitt's SS App says Ellen Black. Laura's birth record says Sarah Jane Black. Wm Albert's death certificate, signed by Uncle Willie, says his mother's name was Sally Brendell. Mamaw says she moved to San Antonio because she had family there. Mary Black Holder lived in San Antonio until she died about 1919.
      This is a mystery that I would really like to solve; my grandmother never knew her.
      Something happened between her and Pryor and she moved to San Antonio and lived to be 94-95 years old. She wanted to take Emmit with her because he was only 2. Grandpa told her to take all or none because he didn't want them separated. She left them all. Ellen was 4. William was 6. Mom said the 1900 Storm was what made her want to move away but that was much too late. There was a storm the summer before Prier was born but I found nothing that would have affected this family just after he was born.
      Laura's birth record gives her mother's name as Sarah Jane Black. Prior F Holder married Sarah Jane Jobes. Emmit's death record gives his mother's name as Sally Brendell, Sarah Jobes' mother married Emil Brendel. I believe I'm on the right track here but Prior and Sarah married after William was born. Did the kids have different moms and that's why Prier's mom wanted to take only him? Is William's birth date actually a little later? Mom and Mamaw both told me that Grandpa never remarried, that they never divorced.
      (This may all sound a little disjointed because I've made these notes over a period of 25 years but here is what I have found recently. [2017])
      YES. When Will gave his age or date of birth, he gave 1888 or 1889, only his death record and the cemetery have 1886 and 1887. So I think I've had this backwards all along. Sally is the first (only?) wife. Her mother was Laura STEVEN and her aunt was Ella STEVEN, her grandmother was Mary. Mary only had the 2 children with her on the 1880. JOBES must have died when Sarah was very young and Laura married Emil BRENDEL, a German immigrant. I still don't know where Ellen BLACK came into it; possibly just confusion. Maybe Sarah remarried or Ella married a BLACK. And where did Anetta Parker fit in? The 1900 Census says Laura S had two children, both living.
      So, Pryor married Sarah in San Antonio (1887) where Will was born (1888) then they moved south to Atascosa where Laura was born (1890). By the time Emmitt was born (1891), they had moved north to Bastrop County. So, instead of dropping her off in League City (as the family lore says), she probably left and went back to San Antonio (to Emil and her mother) during the move to Milam County (about 1893). By the 1900 Sarah was elsewhere, her mother and stepfather had no one else with them on the census.
