When Big Henry was 33, he married Elizabeth Deen (Lizzie). The only land with a good house-site had been given to Morrison, and Henry was given the land in the swamp, with no place to build a house. They moved around several times, having five children from 1914 to 1924. They were Verdie, Katie (named for William Neal's Mother Catherine at his request), Samuel Austin (named for Sam Deen and Austin Davis), Mary Jane (named for her Grandmothers), and Jimmi Neal (named for his Grandfathers). They went to the nearest school, most of them having one room and one teacher. Jimmie Neal was the only one who attended just one school, Graham.
