-------------------------
Jessie was actually the daughter of her oldest 'sister,' Laura Drawdy, and Norman John Drawdy was her son, not her brother. She lived with her grandparents, Albert and Laney Drawdy-she does not appear to have lived in her mother's household on any census. Similarly, her son Norman John Drawdy was raised by her brother Harvey Drawdy.
