Notes

Mary was the supposedly the housekeeper for James L. Glidewell.

1900 Clay Co., TN Census-Mary is listed with her sister. The household is 5 away from James and Roxanne and listed as follows:
Maggie Arms-Head of House (listed in the following order) age: 25 born in May 1875
Ester- daughter age: 1 born in Jul 1898
Mary E.-sister age: 21 born in Nov 1878
Hershel-son age: 3 born in Oct 1896 (father born in TN)
Fowler-son age: 1 born in Oct 1899 (father born in TN)

Also in 1910 Clay Co., TN Census-still living 5 houses away from James and Roxanne:
listed as Head of household -single (listed as a washer woman) with children:
Fowler-age 11 b TN (father born in TN)
Clarence-age 10 b TN (father born in TN)

Willard-age 5 b TN (father born in TN)
Bedford-age 2 b TN (father born in TN)
Daisy-age 1 and 3/12 b TN (father born in TN)

Mary S. age 64 b KY has birthed 10 children with 7 still living
Dassie L. age 14 granddaugher
Hershel age 14 grandson
Howell age 12 grandson

Then next to them is:
Frank Arms age 19 b LA
Emma E. age 19
Bransford age 1 b TN

I do not find Mary E. in the 1920 Clay Co., TN Census.

I am sending you what my Grandfather's Brother - Willard Arms' grandson - Bill Hoolihan sent to me.

My Grandfather is Clarence Arms. His Mother was Mary Ellen Arms who had children with James L. Glidewell. I spoke with my Aunt Margaret and she only remembered her father
Clarence only having these siblings and that she thought Stanley went by that name or Haskell.
1. Clarence
2. Willard
3. Herman
4. Clyde
5. Stanley and Haskell is believed to be the same person
6. Flossie
7. Eula
8. Minnie Lee
9. Bedford

She also said she heard her dad Clarence speak of Fowler (who was older) but that he lived up in the mountains somewhere. She said back in those times you never asked questions about things the parents were talking about.

And for his siblings they also lived in the mountains with the parents, I suppose, and that when he would go to visit them and one was old enough and would want to come back with him he would bring them back home with him. That's how the family all come to Saddlersville, TN.

Children of James Glidewell and Mary Arms are:
Clarance4 Arms, born 1900; died January 09, 1966. He married (1) Ethel Chance. He married (2) Sarah Ellen Cherry. More About Clarance Arms: Burial: Sadlersville Cemetery

Herman Arms, born April 10, 1902; died February 1988 in Adams TN.
Willard Vanue Arms, born September 02, 1905 in Clay County TN.; died January 1987 in Springfield Tn.
Bedford Arms, born February 03, 1907; died April 1979 in Springfield TN.
Flossie Arms, born 1910.
Clyde Arms, born October 28, 1911; died July 1977 in Adams TN.
Minnie Lee Arms, born 1914.
Willie Haston Arms, born February 11, 1917; died April 09, 1993 in Moss TN.
Eula Arms, born 1922.

Mary Ellen did NOT die during childbirth with Eula, however she died not too long afterwards. They found her dead in her bed, with Eula next to her nursing.
