Married three times, Vertie's first husband was Charles B Suite, with whom she had a son, Venes Franklin Suite. She married her second husband, Sherman Gilland, in 1896, and together they had seven children.
After her maternal grandfather, James C Morris, became a widower, he married her husband, Sherman Gilland's, grandmother (Elizabeth Newkirk David Morris) after the death of her husband, thus enabling Virda and Sherman to meet and marry.
Vertie's third spouse was William Harding, whom she married in 1925, after Sherman's death. There were no children from this union, but as a result of it, Virda's first born son, Venus Suite, met and married William's sister, Grace Harding. These grandparents, parents and four grandchildren lived together until Virda's death in 1938.
