Esther Ruby Hardeman age 6 later married Harold F. Popperwell, probably in about 1947.  Esther was Harold's first wife.  Harold married second Leola Lucretia Bray on 25 Jul 1959 in Clark County, Nevada (probably Las Vegas).  Leola was the daughter of Charles Lee (Charlie) Bray and Kathleen Haven Reed.

Uncle Charlie Bray was the son of William George Washington Green and my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.  As such, Uncle Charlie was the half-brother of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Haley and William Green were divorced on 9 Jan 1896.  The divorce decree did not mention the restoration of Haley's maiden name, and Uncle Charlie was enumerated in the 1900 census as Charles Green.  But the record of Haley's marrriage to John William Williamson in 1898 listed her name as Jane Bray.  Uncle Charlie used the Bray surname in all records other than the 1900 census.

Esther was the daughter of T. W. Hardeman age 62 and Monica Leguin age 48.
