Emma T Brown Duke was the mother of 6 children not 7 children. Joseph B Duke was counted twice as it said"They gave birth to Joseph B Duke" and he had already been listed with his siblings. Sweet Baby Girl is what I called the baby born & died sometime that day before her mother passed away. The older boys had to dig a grave for the baby & found out they needed to keep digging as their mother had also passed away.
