June's grandmother was Jane Elzia Prigmore, 1903....there seems to be no question about this.
There also seems to be no question that her mother was Ellen Frances Owens; further, she had a number of siblings who were previously unknown to me:
Glen 1896, appears to have died young.
Cecil 1897, married one child
Tennie 1899, single
From the census, we know in 1910 she was divorced and had the children.
From the census, we know James Marion in 1900 was living as a single man in TX with his cousins the Flax.
There is a Marriage Certificate (no date) between James Marion and Ellen Frances. A few family trees show this marriage, but none show childred.
Finally, dawn breaks. The family trees show Ellens husband to be James' brother Thomas 'Amos'......they records also show he died in 1902.
Most likely she first married Thomas, has the three sons....all before 1900. Thomas dies, his younger brother James steps up to the plate, marries Ellen and they have one daughter Jane, 1903.....he then can't take it and they get divorced sometime before 1910.
That's the way it goes into the tree.
