Children
Notes: Marriage (Mary Elizabeth McDowell):
The transcribed marr. rec. shows they were both single, and married Dec. 28, 1935 in Danville. However, either that marr. date was incorrectly transcribed, or she remarried before her 1st marriage divorce date of Mar. 3, 1936 (from the orig. div. cert.). There's no mistaken identity on the marr. rec. to Joe because her correct parents are named as well.
Notes: Marriage (William Stanford Reynolds):
Both single. Div. Franklin Co., Va. She remarried Joe Alderson Hill on Dec. 28, 1935 in Danville, but unless that transcribed date is wrong, he remarried before her 1st marriage divorce date of Mar. 3, 1936 (orig. div. cert.).
Notes: Marriage (William Ernest Sellers):
Oct. 28, 1961 is her 2nd husband's death date; thus she was a widow when she married William Sellers.
