In my earlier entry I wrote that I thought that Florence Reese and Aunt Molly Jackson were related either by blood or marriage. That still may be correct, but it is also possible that I was confusing Florence Reese with Sarah Ogan Gunning, another fine Kentucky singer of traditional and radical songs who I believe was Aunt Molly's sister.

I seem to have been correct in my belief that Jim Garland was Aunt Molly's brother. If anyone knows Aunt Molly Jackson's family tree and the relationships, if any, among these four fine singers, I would appreciate a posting here.

Upon reflection, I am going to start a new thread on the subject.
