Married Claude Jefferson Roberts on July 11, 1915, in Pike County, MS. One son, Claude Houston Roberts. Daughter of Willis P. (Joe) Prescott and Phoebe Elizabeth Bankston. Grandparents, Ephraim Prescott and Talitha Simmons; Green N. Bankston and Nancy M. McElveen. Second youngest of thirteen children. Born at the old home place at the end of Prescott Road in Amite County. The house she was born in still stands and is still in our family. She moved along with her husband and son to Jackson, MS., because of the great depression. They could no longer make a living as cotton farmers. This was hard for her to leave her home and all of her brothers and sisters back in Amite County but she did return to visit often. She and Papaw lived with us when I was growing up until they passed away. It seemed like we went down to the country to visit her people at least two weekends of every month. We usually stayed with her brother, Uncle Bud, or her sister, Aunt Ella. I have fond memories of these trips, driving down old Highway 51 through Summit, McComb, Magnolia and Osyka, MS. We also had frequent visits from some of her nieces and nephews and siblings to our home in Jackson. When Grammy's brother, Bud, lost his first wife during childbirth, my grandparents took the baby girl, Mamie, and raised her until Uncle Bud remarried and took her back. Mamie was around 3 or 4 years old. This was the closest thing my father had to a sibling. My father was an only child so he always considered his first cousins to be more like siblings than cousins and they felt the same way about him. Her family goes way back in the Amite/Pike County area of Mississippi and Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. They were the Mississippi pioneers and were there as early as the first decade of 1800 when Mississippi was still a territory.
