Marguerite Smith, my maternal grandmother, was born May 18, 1920 in Massachusetts. She married Harry William Kenny about 1937-1938 and was residing with him in Hartford, Conn in 1939. She had a daughter at age 18 (mom) who she gave up for adoption. By 1942 she was divorced, and then married a Mr. Presley, and had multiple children, some of whom mom has met and have contributed further family history. She continues to have a relationship with them. The majority of Marguerite's children live in north central Arkansas. The last years of her life she resided in Harrison and passed away March 30, 1996.
Mom did not find out the name of her biological mother until it was to late to meet her. Marguerite reportedly had not told her other children of the child she had given up until near her death. They had been looking for mom since that time. Their first meeting in Arkansas was very fulfilling for them all.
