Willie Mae Thornton, Big Mama, Did not marry to anyone. She was a lesbian and since her father was a minister and The Bible clearly states homosexuality is wrong he did not approve and there are no recordings of her ever having a partner, so no she was never married and no kids. Willie Mae Thornton was married in Los Angeles CA to Leon "Rock" Smith. This fact was related to me by Mr. Smith himself. Knowing the character of the man, I had no reason to question or otherwise dispute his assertion.
