I am looking for anyone who may have information on Emerson Ethridge Weddell. He left his wife and kids in Muskogee in 1917 and ran off with Gertrude Evelyn Parks Smith. They moved to St Louis Missouri and resided there until their death. Apparently, he changed is name to Benjamin Ethridge Wilson. Gertrude had 2 daughters with her first husband, Charles Smith in Muskogee. They are Juanita and Aretta. They appear at different times on the census records with Gertrude and Charles Smith, and then again with Benjamin Wilson and Gertrude Wilson. Please contact me if you may be a descendant of this family. Aretta married Walter Gills and had a son name Walter also. Juanita married someone by they name of Crawford but both girls were divorced in 1940 and living with Emerson and Gertrude in St Louis.
