Hannah's Great Grandpa Ezekiel J Dunagan and my Great Grandma Nancy Evans-Dunagan

Hello folks,

Here is an old picture of my Great Grandfather Ezekiel J Dunagan and my Great Grandma Nancy Evans-Dunagan. G-Grandpa was the son of Ezekiel J. Dunagan and Lucinda Dunagan. GG Grandfather was born in 1811 in GA married Lucinda about 1841. One of several children was my Great Grandpa Ezekiel J Dunagan born Oct 1843 amd passed away in 1910-1920 in Shellby Co, Memphis TN. He married my Great Grandmother Nancy Evans in 1862 in Hall Co GA. They were a happy family with many children mostly daughters. One was Mary Dunagan-Barber my Grandmother. You have probably seen Mary's picture in the DOAS Image Galleries. Grandmother passed away when I was eleven years old.
We were very close. She left me her beautiful old home in Memphis TN. During the depression she turned her large home into a boarding house for working men. She was able to support herself and a couple of her daughters. Mary was one that never gave up. Her husband James M. Barber my Grandfather lived in a hotel room in downtown Memphis and died there alone. They never divorced but could not live together.
Although she felt this way about him. I found him to be a kind person. He worked hard when he was a young man. They owned a farm outside of Memphis and had nine children. One was my handsome father James Robert Dunagan Barber.
