Vernon Presley and Gladys Love Smith eloped and got married in 1933 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. They both fibbed about their ages on their marriage license – Vernon was actually 17 but claimed to be 22, while Gladys, who was 21, said she was 19. In 1935, they had twin sons, Jesse and Elvis, with Jesse sadly being stillborn. Elvis later became a legendary music artist, making him one of the top-selling musicians in history.
