There is some indication that Grace was married a second time to Chester Gilpin. Doddridge County Roots gives parents of Emma Waldo as Foster W. Waldo and Susan J. Wiseman (no middle name is listed), whereas for her marriage to Evan Dotson, her name is given as Grace. The 1940 Census lists an E. Grace Gilpin-62 living with a Chester Gilpin-42 born in Indiana. In the home, Randal Dotson (b. 1912) is listed as step-son and Mildred Dotson (b. 1912 in Indiana) as step-daughter-in-law. Residence was in Parkersburg, Wood Co., WV.
