Emmeline Charity Flanagan was born in 1833 in Mobile, Alabama. She was the daughter of William Flanagan and Charity Barron.
Emmeline married William Martin Dewitt on 15 August 1855 in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The marriage license states that her father and husband paid a security for the marriage of $150. Emmeline and William would later have nine children together over the span of twenty three years.
