Strode Family in Louisiana
Emma Reta Barber was born in Many, Sabine Parish, Louisiana 02 Apr 1881.Her mother was Alice Strode, who was born in Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, probably around 1860.Emma's father was John Barber, who was born in Ohio. My guesstimate is that he was born there around 1855.Alice Strode is sometimes shown as "Jennie."Around 1885, Alice "Jennie" Strode Barber married Edward Martin, probably in Louisiana or Texas.(Possibly "Jennie" was short for Virginia?) I don't know whether John Barber died or he and Jennie divorced prior to her marriage to Edward Martin.Does anyone have information about these Strodes or Barbers.Thank you.
