Who is Aunt Feenie and Uncle Henry from Our Only May Amelia and what is their importance?

Aunt Feenie is Pappa Jackson's sister. Uncle Henry is a Scotsman who has run away from his own county and changed his name for some unnamed crime. When Feenie was a very young girl, Uncle Henry stole her away from her family and brought her to the Nasel River valley where he built a farm on Smith Island. The rest of Feenie's family soon followed. In time, Uncle Henry moved Feenie to Astoria, where he sails his ship from several time a year. Aunt Feenie and Uncle Henry are two of May Amelia's favorite people, and it is to them Wilbert takes her when her grief over the loss of Amy Alice becomes overwhelming.
