As the great-great-granddaughter of Sam Houston and Margaret Lea, Madge Thornall Roberts played in her great-grandparents' home in Independence, Texas, which had Santa Anna's saddle in the upstairs hall, the San Jacinto sword over the mantle, and where she kept her doll's clothes in an old chest of Margaret Lea's.
