7. | Ellie Mae Blanche Birdwell was born on 6 Jun 1905 in San Augustine County, Texas (daughter of Norman E. "Thaddius" Birdwell and Blanche Henley); died on 30 Mar 1998 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Little Flock Baptist Church Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. Notes:
She is shown as Virgie on a census listing with her mother and stepfather, Joe Fuller, as of 1910. At the time of the 1920 Federal Census, an Estes, Ellie, and Oscar Birdwell were living in the home of Neal and Martha Henley of San Augustine County, and listed as their grandchildren.
The name Ellie also appears on the birth record of her daughter, Bobine. Therefore it appears she was actually named Ellie Blanche, in honor of her mother.

Dolores Burton shows "Norman E. (Thaduis) Birdwell was the ninth child of James Birdwell and NANCY Cogburn. He was born Aug. 07, 1881 in Sabine County Texas." Jame's wife is listed on census and other records as Mary, however, and not Nancy.
David Pike writes that Norman died of pneumonia after complications from severe burns received in a fire.
Norman married Blanche Henley on 14 Nov 1900 in San Augustine County, Texas. Blanche was born on 16 Aug 1881 in Texas; died on 28 May 1914 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Rosevine Cemetery, Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

15. | Blanche Henley was born on 16 Aug 1881 in Texas; died on 28 May 1914 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Rosevine Cemetery, Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
She was married first to a Birdwell, and was later the second wife of Joseph Fuller. They had two children together, and sadly Blanche died of tuberculosis some five years after her second marriage. Her stepsons, Price and Brooks, died of this as well. Her step-daughter, Ethel was also infected, and was confined to a tuberculosis santitarium in the Dallas area as a young woman. Ethel survived, however, living into her eighties.
