Annie Carter-Thomas had a sister named Virgie Bell who married 8 Oct 1901 in Ardmore, Oklahoma to George Francis Stokely. Virgie and George had a daughter named Olive Catherine Stokely who married Delbert Emory Grandstaff. Olive and Delbert had a daughter named Olive Catherine Grandstaff and she was the second wife of Hollywood icon Bing Crosby.
The Grandstaff family moved from Brazoria County, TX to Los Angeles, CA in the mid 1930s and the Olive who married Bing was born there in 1934. Eventually, she pursued an acting career and was told that a name like Grandstaff would take her nowhere so she legally changed her name to Katherine Grant (dropping the Olive). She married Bing Crosby in Las Vegas on October 24, 1947. He died near Madrid, Spain 14 Oct 1977. She is still living. They had three children and he also had a child from his previous marriage to a woman name Wilma Wyatt.
