My great, great , great grandfather , Emanuel Roberson moved to Texarkana, AR, met and married his wife, Sadie Downs. • One family tradition is that we will open one gift on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas day. That is so fun. Mom always gives us the gift that is a hint to the rest of them.
