Notes about Bonnie's children:
Bonnie had 3 children during her life.
FIRST CHILD: Margret Ann McKissack, was born when Bonnie was about 16 years old. Bonnie was young and unwed and "the family" pressured her into putting, 6 year old, Margret Ann up for adoption. The adoption took place abt. 1931 in Memphis, Tennessee.
SECOND CHILD: George W. Doster, was born while she was still married to George Allen Hood. The story that I (Henry Jordan, her son) heard was that Bonnie gave birth to George W. Doster, during the time that her first husband, George A. Hood, went to prison for armed robbery.
THIRD CHILD: Henry M. Jordan was born while Bonnie was married to his father, George L. Jordan. I guess it took Bonnie a lifetime to get the marriage and child bearing thing correct. But it wasn't long lived, as she divorced George when their child was only 10 years old.
