From the Bresslers to the Preslars to the Presleys. A verified account of family histories in the Presley lines.
Included is the true story of Rosella Elizabeth Presley as has always been known to the family, and as we learn more about from cousin, Mackey Hargett. Mackey kept a promise he made to Vernon not to disclose this knowledge until after a certain amount of time had passed. Mackey has now told his story and, thus, what had been a complete mystery to Presley family historians, and Elvis' fans alike, has now been revealed to the public.
The truth is out, and with DNA proof that John Wallace of MS was the biological father of five (5) of Rosella's children, one has to wonder why a descendant of Noah Presley (not one of the five) is questioning this proven lineage? DNA does not lie, and neither does Mackey Hargett. The account of Rosella Presley herewith is the TRUE AND CORRECT account of her life, of her children, and of John Wallace.
Rosella's Story 
The Hood Family descendants of Captain Teunis Hood of North Carolina. Among the Hood family members was CSA General John Bell Hood. The Hoods, like the Preslar's have two distinct family lines from cousins. Elvis' grandma "Dodger" was Minnie Mae Hood married to Jessie D. McDowell Presley.
From the line of George Helms, Sr. and wife, Mary Faukenburg/Fortenberry descend many allied families including Presley, Preslar, Winchester, Love, Polk, Chaney, Crowell, Belk, Hargett, Tackett, and more. The Helms families originated in Anson and Union Counties in North Carolina and with families relocating later on to Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi. Some notable Helms were Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) of Monroe, North Carolina, Richard Helms, former head of the CIA, and singer, Bobby Helms.
George Helms, Sr. LineNOTE:*The McGee line, in their chart to the right, shows the marriage of Mary Anna McGee and Eddie Harris Presley. Mary Anna married a second time to a man named Johnson and it is this line that shows the Presley connection to Patrick Swayze. Patrick Swayze was not a Presley, however, his ancestors were step siblings to this Presley line through Mary Anna McGee.
