Henry Franklin and Mary Jane Oakley Peek

He came to courtin' her on a beautiful mule. His three previous wives had all died with no issue. He met and married Mary Jane and raised five children: Thomas, Susie, Mary, Ruby and Rufus Peek. They made their home in Warren, Arkansas. He had at one time owed a Cotton Gin Mill and Mema Peek took care of children out of her home. They each lived long lives and were able to see five generations born.
