Emma  married Nathan O'Neal Glover  son of Eli S. Glover and Susan K. Glover in Taylor County, Ga. on  Jan. 10, 1879.  Susan K. Glover was the sister to John Paschal Glover, Jr. and Elizabeth Ann Glover Fowler of Crawford County Georgia.  On the 1880 census report she and Nathan are shown with their son George who was born December 1879.  They lived in Taylor  County, Ga.  later moved to Barbour County, Al.  Nathan's mother died about 1857/1858 and his father Eli S. Glover was captured in Ft. Morgan, Alabama  during the War of The Northern Aggression and shipped to New Orleans where he was placed on a ship and sent to New York and then sent by train to Elmira "Hellmira" New York.  Where he died from being deliberately deprived of food and medical treatment by the hands of the war criminals that ran "Hellmira".

After the death of Nathan's older brother Franklin P. Glover in 1891 in Henry County, Alabama  Nathan moved his family to Fort Smith, Arkansas where George Glover was the Indian agent.  I have not proved the relationship but feel this was his relative. Since he went into business supplying the Indian Reservation with supplies.

These were very exciting times in Ft. Smith.  Oklahoma was still Indian territory and Nathan started a business supplying the Indian reservations.  Nathan's son Eli C. Glover lived to be 98 years old 1881-1979 and told the stories of riding on the wagon and going to the Indian territory to take the loads of goods to the Indians.  

Nathan died in 1896 and Emma Jane died the following year in 1897 both are buried in Fort Smith, Ar.

If anyone has any information on the Gray or Glover family please let me know.
