The only thing I have on this lady is...
She gave birth to my Grandmother 27 Oct 1891. Nine months later,
She was born:1 Feb 1861.
She married: 24 Aug 1881.
She gave birth: 1882,1884, 1886, 1891.
She died: 23 Jul 1892.
she was gone.
I have been unable to find her birth date or place, tho my grandmother
thought she came from Tennessee
My grandmother said Alvania is buried in Liberty Graveyard in
Griffithville,White Co.,AR...but there is no marked grave for her
or her son James Edward P.Pence.
Her mother was said to come from Ireland during the potato famine.
I have been unable to trace her older brother, Ed WORTHAM,
who went to Grayson County,TX soon after her death.
Alvania named one of her sons Emuel and the other James Edward P.
I don't know where the name Emuel originated, but I believe the
second son was named for her brother, Ed.
