He had one brother - Vester. After the Presley's moved into Graceland in 1957, Vester worked as head gate guard - a job he held for many, many years. Vester was married to Elvis' mother Gladys' sister, Clettes. With Presley cook Nancy Rooks, he co-authored "The Presley Family Cookbook." In 1979, he recorded, "A Message to Elvis Fans and Friends." I met him in the early 1990s and spent several visits with him after that. We both loved "Coca-cola Jello". What a sweetie!

All of these people are dead.

The only Vernon relative (other than his second wife Dee and her sons) to try to capitalize on Elvis' fame was Vernon's father Jessie D. In 1958, he made an album called "The Roots of Elvis."

Jessie was not popular with the Vernon Presley family. When Vernon got arrested in 1938 for forgery, Jessie refused to post bail, and, while Vernon was in prison, he sold his little house, (now the Birthplace Home in Tupelo).

In 1946, Jessie divorced Elvis' grandmother and Vernon's mother Minnie Mae. The next year he married a local school teacher and had little to do with the family until Elvis got famous some ten years later.

I have read that Elvis bought him a car at some point.

The real cash-in relatives were Elvis' stepmother Dee Stanley and her sons, David, Rick and Bill. A whole other story!

The King is Scottish - long live Elvis!
Yes, Elvis Presley lives!! At least his genes certainly do in the little village in the North East of Scotland where his family hailed from. New research has identified Lonmay in the Scottish district of Buchan as Elvis's ancestral home.

Scots author Allan Morrison has discovered that the KIng of rock'n'roll's ancestors emigrated to the United States over 250 years ago. Records show that Andrew Presley married Elspeth Leg at Lonmay on August 27th, 1713 - over thirty years before Bonnie Prince Charlie arrived with his Jacobite followers to try to reclaim the Scottish throne.

The first Presley in America was their son, also Andrew, who arrived in North Carolina in 1745 - the year of Culloden.

Also ich finde den Artikel auch ganz interessant, aber ere übersteigt mein Englisch desöfteren, also soviel habe ich verstanden:


Es geht um Elvis Abstammung und inwiefern es zu der Person Elvis aus genetischer und soziologischer Sicht gekommen ist. Da sind ein paar Aspekte über seinen Ursprung ganz interessant. Seine Ur-Ur-Ur-gr0ßmutter war eine Indianerin, von ihr soll bspw. die Wangenform stammen. Der Opa war ein schwarzhaariger Draufgänger der auf gute Anzüge stand und öfters mal wegen Suff und Rauferei im Zuchthaus landete.

Der Ur-Ur-Ur-großvater war ein schottischer Siedler oder so.Dann wird die Art und Weise der irisch/schottischen Siedler beschrieben, die ein bißchen prolliger aber auch wilder und entschlossener waren als beispielsweise die britischen Nachbarn. ( Das kann man nachvollziehen, wenn man schonmal einen Schotten kennenlernte !)

Und so weiter und so fort...ich habe s nicht ganz gelesen. Man kann aber unterm Strich teilweise den Charakter und das Thema des Mannes "Elvis" möglicherweise etwas besser verstehen, wenn man diese Hintergründe kennt.

Er hat also was irisch/schottisches was indianisches und so weiter...

Japp,das mit dem indianischen stimmt! Sie hieß "Morning Dove White" geb.1800-1835 und war ne Vollblut-Cherokee.
