Biography

Emily was born in June 1865 in Coryell County, Texas. She was the daughter of Isaac Graham and Sarah Ann Kinsey. She passed away on 1 February 1928 in Shackelford County, Texas^[1] and is buried in Gatesville City Cemetery, Coryell County, Texas.^[2]

Birth

Death Certificate has some errors. The information was provided by husband, W. T. Blackstock. It states Emily was born 6 Jun 1856; appears to be transposition and should be 1865. Father listed as I. J. Graham, mother ____ Graham. Birth date does not agree with gravestone which reads 19 June 1864. No census record found for 1870. 1880 Federal census effective 1 June gives Emily's age as 14. She would have been 15 in June, so birth year would be 1865. 1900 Federal census gives birth date as June 1865. Based on use of the earliest records given by parents or self, 1865 is assumed to be birth year.

Marriage

No marriage record found. First child, Ada, was born January 1882. 1900 Census states married 18 years. Emily was still unmarried and at home with parents on 1880 census. Married between 1 June 1880 and 1 March 1881, probably latter part of 1880.
