Katie's obituary says she was survived by three sisters, Mrs. Brooks Todd Anna Mae Todd and Mrs. Cliff Brannen of Glennville Ilene Brannen and Mrs. Clifton Ray Birtie Ray of Bloomingdale; two brothers, Wiley Driggers of Glennville Wiley Diggers and Carl Driggers Carl Jackson Driggers of Jacksonville, FL

The FAG memorials are not entirely correct and I have been looking at Census and other public trees to try to piece them together properly.

Does anyone have any idea how/why they have been confused?
Did Nancy W. Driggers (Stanley) ONLY marry Joseph Jackson Driggers

Ilene's FAG memorial says she was sister to Carl Jackson Driggers, half-sister-to Anna Mae Driggers Todd and Birty Driggers Ray but they have apparently mixed up Joseph Jackson Driggers and Nancy W. Driggers (Stanley) with James Madison Driggers and Nancy Effie Driggers

BUT
Consistency Check:
Nancy W. Driggers (Stanley) is under 12 years old for the birth of her child Wiley Diggers.

Ilene Brannen (Driggers) born after the death of her father Joseph Jackson Driggers.

Carl Jackson Driggers born after the death of his father Joseph Jackson Driggers.

Ok. Wiley belongs to Margaret Driggers

I think that will sort these
