William Falwell had pitch black hair and blue eyes. His wife, Elizabeth Owens, was twenty years old when they were married in 1869. Her family were Welsh. She was a slim girl, with black hair and green eyes. She did not stay slim. She tended to get heavy as she grew older. One of her grandchildren said of her, "I remember my grandmother was so kindhearted that she really ate my mud pies, to make me think she liked them."
William and Elizabeth had three sons, William, John and Charles. Two daughters were born to them, Amanda, named after William's sister, and Mary. After his other sister, George Emma, heard about the new baby, she wanted it named after her. So they tacked her name on too, Mary Savannah George Emma. Her name was longer than she was when she was born. Amanda died when she was a small child, and Mary was raised as the only girl in the family.
