You didn't give any age/dates for Emma, so I went looking for the family.

1880 census Cherokee Co, AL:

Category: Name; Relationship to head of household; Marital Status; Gender; Race; Age; Birthplace; Occupation; Father's Birthplace; Mother's Birthplace.

Jesse BEDWELL Self M Male W 29 AL Farmer TN TN
Martha BEDWELL Wife M Female W 34 SC Keeping House SC SC
Lauana BEDWELL Dau S Female W 7 AL AL SC
Sarah P. BEDWELL Dau S Female W 4 AL AL SC
Ema L. BEDWELL Dau S Female W 2 AL AL SC

Now, this could be your Emma, note this one was married twice:

1910 census Falls Co, TX:

Dove, Tom G., hd, 32, M(1) 5 yrs, b AR, MS, AR
" Emma, wf, 31, M(2), 5 yrs, 3 ch, 2 living, b AL, AL, AL
Wooley, Bernice, step dau, 12, b TX, TX, AL
Dove, Jessie, son, ?, b TX, AR, TX

TX Dth Idx 1890-1976 -- http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?..#w=;p=2;c=1320964;t=searchable -- You can view digitized copy of original death record, see more details, make copies and look for others, too.

Now, if this is your Emma with second married name, it gives you the maiden name of her mother.

Go to Falls Co, TX GenWeb site -- http://www.txgenweb6.org/txfalls/ -- type Bedwell in their search feature and you'll find buried in the Live Oak Cemetery:

Bedwell, J.S., 14 Apr 1850 - 17 Sep 1927
" Martha, 8 May 1846 - 23 Feb 1927

And next to the them:

Vinson, Anna, 1873 - 1957 - husband W.T. Vinson, and more Vinsons, probably the immediate family.

This Anna is probably the one listed as Luana on census, age fits. You said "Fanny" married the Vinson.

One researcher on Rootsweb's WorldConnect site shows Thomas G. Dove is married to Emma Bedwell, no sources given, but maybe they know more and would share with you. They state Emma is the mother of Era[sic] Bernice Wooley, could that be the "Eva" you're looking for?

More research needs to be done to make sure this all comes together. But, it does give you names, dates, locations etc to work on.

Happy Hunting (^_^)
