So I’ve only gotten partially through my latest goal of getting through Jemima‘s descendants. In fact, I’ve only gotten halfway through the children of Henry Jefferson Spence before getting stuck on child number 6, Millard Melvin Spence and descendants for the last week. I tend to get stuck like this when there is just enough information to keep me digging trying to figure out just what happened to a family. I think I am about ready to accept what I have and finish this family’s section, but knowing that there are 4 more children for Henry Jefferson Spence, I also wanted to at least post that I am still here and still working to get all of Jemima‘s descendants documented!

Website Update – Jemima Corel McGlothlin
This is so exciting to have found so many descendants of Jemima. When I first started this venture in 2007, there was so very little that I knew about Jemima’s children. Most of the research on Henry H., William, and Shadrack has been done by Bobby Dobbins Title (descendant of Nancy Maryland Corel) and shared on her blog, Immortal Nobodies.
Charles Pack
Charles “Charlie” Pack was the youngest child of Martha Jane McGlothlin and her second husband, Alvin Pack. Charles was born in August 1879 in Kentucky. About 1896 he married Laura Fannon. On the 1900 census, while living in Pear Orchard, Lawrence County, Kentucky, Charlie listed his occupation as a coal miner1. The 1940 census shows Charlie, age 65, is the head of the household including his wife, daughter and her husband, two grandsons, a wife of one grandson, and his great-grandson. Charlie is now working as a laborer on a road construction crew in Himlerville, Martin County, Kentucky2.

McGlothlin Family
David and Robert Emmitt McGlothlin may or may not be connected to John McLaughlin and Judith Leathers, but so much research has been done in an attempt to prove or disprove a connection, which I am unable to do either, I thought it might be beneficial for some if I posted the information I had found.
