Essie Dailey Giles

F, (8 April 1908 - 16 December 1977)
Birth*8 April 1908 Essie was born on 8 April 1908. She was the daughter of Thomas Dailey and Alcie (Alis) Ramsey who married on 31 May 1903. In addition to Esiie, Thomas and Alcie sons named Sam and Floyd (who died in childhood). 
Marriage*say 1929 She married Joe Bassinger Culpepper say 1929. 
Married Namesay 1929  As of say 1929, her married name was Culpepper. 
Death*16 December 1977 She died at Cleveland, Bradley Co., Tennessee, on 16 December 1977 at age 69. 
Research note*17 May 2012 Margaret L. 'Maggie' Giles wrote on 15 May 2012:

I am tracing my husband's family and I believe your Essie is also my Essie. My husband is Gene Giles

Alcie (Alis) Ramsey married first, William Giles on 2/25/1894 and they had a child named Mollie.

Alcie then married second, J.G. Hester (?) on 5/28/1898 and they had no children.

Alcie as Alcie Giles married third, Thomas Dailey on 5/31/1903. They had sons named Sam, Floyd (who died in childhood) and daughter Essie [the person on this page]

Later Alcie married fourth, a Mr. Epperson, but she was buried as Alcie Giles.

Alcie bounced the children's names around: Sam Dailey later was changed to Sam Giles and Essie Dailey was changed to Essie Giles.

Sam went on to marry Marie Smith, they lived in Michigan, then South Bend-Indiana. In 1943 they were divorced and a year or two later he disappeared leaving Marie with all 9 children. My deceased Father-in-law was one of the sons. The few younger siblings were too young to remember anything and Grandma Marie never spoke about Sam. An older daughter now suffers from Alzheimer's. So any information I have to go on is slim.

I am hoping can help me piece together some of the mystery.
- Why was Essie's mom married so many times?
- Why the change in Sam's name?
- Are there any photographs of Essie, Sam and Mollie?
- Are there any photographs of Essie with father and her mother?
- Where can I find the obituary of Essie? Also copies of her parents?
- Any family stories to be shared or any living relatives left?1
