  1. I was delighted to read the book Tandem Lives. The Embree’s were my great-great-great-great grandparents. Their daughter Margaret, sister to John W. and Elisha Jr. was my great-great-grandmother. She is mentioned in the book multiple times as “Aunt Margaret”. your book has helped me learn so much about our family. Much information was unknown to me as my great-grandfather James Moore Breedlove died when he was a young man. My grandmother was a young child. She talked about staying with her grandparents at cedar Creek and attended school there. I located graves of Margaret Embree Graves & Andrew Jackson Embree at the old MidwAY cEMETARY I have been searching for photo’s or any info on this part of the family for 2-3 yrs. I so appreciate the information that was donated to the Belton Museum and have just found your website. i am thrilled to find this info. do you have any information on Margaret Embree Graves or Mary Chilton Graves Breedlove( Margaarets Daughter)?
