But the date of death on that burial marker is 1929, the year after Lucinda. So perhaps they divorced instead of his dying before the 1880 census. Lucinda may have reproted herself Divorced, because of the approbrium attached to divorce in that era.

"There is clearly a dot over the "i" in the first name. See "Arkansas, County Marriages, 1837-1957," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-12128-74742-3?cc=1417439 : 24 June 2016), 004309410 > image 465 of 532; county offices, Arkansas." -- R Dunlap, Comment on this record transcription on Ancestry.com, on 9/14/2016, accessed 5 September 2017 A copy of the document indicates the correct name is Levi, as analyzed by Dunlap. I find it interesting that Syntha's name is Syntha Gregory here, even though she has been married and has gone by Syntha Perry since 1850. But the age and location match Syntha (Cynthia) Gregory Perry. The name Levi Jinnings matches other records, including a Civil War service record, found on Fold 3 or Ancestry.com.

--------------------- Francis Briscoe I'm looking for information on Francis M Briscoe and came across the Source Citation for the 1910 Federal Census, Tillman County, OK in your tree where there's a transcript that states she was married to Edmond W Briscoe but says he's her 2nd husband. I believe, from what I have heard, this is true. Although I cannot find anything anywhere else to prove it. No prior marriage license, newspaper articles, death certificate. I heard from my mom, who would have been her granddaughter, that her first husband was shot. Interesting, but I can't find anything on that and really not much on her. I know that marriage produced a son, Herman, who went by Briscoe (1881-1915). I have proof the last name was Johnson from a list of deaths in my grandfather wrote in his Bible. My grandfather was James Lester Briscoe (1892-1972) from her 2nd marriage. -- J Sheets, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, Francis Briscoe 02 August 2019 ---------------------

Burl Harrison Beene, 29, Friona; A.D. Johnson, 24, Friona; and Carl Davis Greeson, 39, Black; were killed Saturday night in a collision a few hundred yards west of the Black elevators. Glen Mingus, passenger in the same automobile, was hosptalized [sic], and his condition is said to be satisfactory. Time of the collision was near 9 o'clock Saturday night. Beene was driving eastward on Highway 60 in a new Mercury, with Johnson, Greeson and Mingus as passengers. Highway patrolmen reported that the Beene car evidently pulled out to pass a car driven by Ray Landrum and collided with a truck driven by Marvin Valentine Crow of Clovis, who escaped injury. Evidently seeing the imminent collision, Beene apparently headed for the north barrow pit, the westbound truck striking the Mercury broadsided. Investigating officers said that the car never overturned, though was as badly wrecked as most overturned cars they have seen. All bodies were thrown clear of the car. Sheriff Charles Lovelace was at the drive-in theatre in Friona when he received the call via police radio from the highway patol [sic]. Picking up Justice of the Peace Walter Loveless, they went to the scene immediately. Dr. Smith, who accompanied the local ambulance, stated that Greeson wasn't dead at the time he reached him, however he died en route to the Parmer County hospital.
