An incredible six-generation photo captured the moment the 98-year-old Kentucky woman met her new relative.
They were cheaper by the 20 dozen.
MaeDell Taylor Hawkins, 98, met her first biological 6th-generation granddaughter at her nursing home in Kentucky.The resulting Facebook image shows the sextet, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77; MaeDall and baby Zhavia; granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell; great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29; and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19.
Orchestrating the get-together, on the other hand, was logistically difficult given that many of the women lived out of state. Jaisline Wilson, right — pictured with 7-week-old Zhavia Whitaker — is Hawkins’ great-great-granddaughter.As a result, the young Kentuckian had to adopt the role of mother at a young age.
“Grandpa worked on the railroad and was gone all week,” said Howell. “With so many mouths to feed, grandma would rise early in the morning, stock the wood stove, go out and gather eggs, grab a couple of chickens , fry them up, make biscuits and gravy, and would have breakfast ready before the kids went to school.”
It appears that MaeDell’s kin have followed suit when it came to furthering the family tree: MaeDell Hawkins’ descendants — Snow, Howell, Ledford and Wilson — all gave birth around the age of 19.
