Several genealogies report that Israel Dumond had two wives. Most have no details. In his Noonan-Howarth genealogy on Ancestry, Patrick Noonan (http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=1008393&pid=-2016416830&ftm=1) reports the dates of marriage of Israel: Israel Dumond, married Elizabeth Narcissa White 1855 [year only], Sarah E Frazier 25 Sep 1865. Narcissa shows up in the 1860 census, married to (Israel) A Dumond, with two children. But in the 1870 census, the wife of Israel is Serina A, and there are two children names Allen in the household. This appears to be a widow and her two children from the marriage to a man named Allen. The younger Allen child, Edward, is 4, meaning he was born to Mr Allen and Serina in 1866, a year after the reported marriage of Israel to Sarah Frazier. It seems to account for all these facts if we consider Serina as a third wife of Israel. It appears that Sarah Frazier died before the 1870 census, with no children. No other children appear which could be the children of Sarah. There is one other child in the 1870 census that helps narrow down the gap further. There is a 7-month old Nancy A Dumond, and we are told specifically she was born in October 1870. This would be the first child of Israel and Serina. Thus they were married probably in 1869, possibly January 1870.

It is uncertain that this directory record from Little Rock is the correct Wade Frazier, given the 1940 record in Fresno County, California. The 1940 record matches the 1930 census in New Madrid, Missouri, and the Social Security record of the daughter Ferral reported in 1940 reports her parents as Wade Frazier and Ollie Stevens.

Mary is listed as Molly in some family references. This was a common name for Mary. The 1880 census reports her as age 38, which would make her birth about 1842.

She is reported here as the mother of Angie. But note the difference in birth states. Angie reported her mother born in North Carolina, and even though Susan is reported as her mother, Susan's birth state is reported as Alabama, matching the 1850 census of Susan with her parents. Angie's father, W Freeman, is reported by a genealogy as born in 1825, while Susan is reported born in 1844, or 1847, according to the 1900 census. This makes it likely she was the second wife of W Freeman, and thus the stepmother of Angie, accounting for the difference in birth states reported for Susan and Angie's mother. Another discrepancy occurs also. The 1900 census reports a J Wesley Ross in Dallas County, Arkansas, who correlates with Angie's husband Joshua in other censuses. This J Wesley Ross is reported in the household of his father and stepmother, and is reported as Single. But his age and the initials J W match earlier reports and comments by researchers that identify him as Joshua Wesley, appearing to be the spouse of Angie Freeman. 1900 Federal Census, Dallas County, Arkansas, [no date] June, Smith Township, District 15, page 15A, Hse #236, Fam #238 Ross, Hugh P Head W M --- 1846 54 Married 34 years (then changed to 24, probably reflects the different dates of his two marriages] AR AL AL Farmer Owns Ross, Catherine E Wife W F Nov 1863 36 Married 24 yrs 2 children/1 living AR GA AL Ross, J Wesley W M --- 1870 30 Single AR AR TN Ross, Charlie May 1877 23 Single AR AR TN Ross, George Ann Dau --- 1879 21 Single AR AR TN Ross, Elizabeth Dau July 1880 19 Single AR AR TN Ross, William B April 1886 14 Single AR AR TN There is some uncertainty about this identity, due to the listing of two children in the 1880 census of the Ross family as Joe. This Joe, reported as age 10, matches later reports of J Wesley as age 30 in 1900, and the report of Joshua Ross as age 1 in the 1870 census (a few months' discrepancy in the actual birth date). The second Ross child in 1880 is named Joe W, but is identified by a researcher as Joshua Wesley. Perhaps the second child is Joshua and the first child named Joe is actually the first child reported in the 1870 census as John, age 2. Since Angie is a widow in the 1900 census it seems that Joshua died, unless for some reason they have divorced, rather than Joshua having died. With the information now available, this is the simplest solution to this mystery. Censuses are known to be terribly inaccurate at times for several reasons, and maybe all these discrepancies could be resolved if we could find more records and reliable family information and burial records. Most of these are lacking for this couple and the Ross family. In the 1910 census, Angie is reported to have borne 5 children, and 4 living. This would mean that she had remarried and been widowed since the 1900 census. One of the children from the second marriage is the one who died. The three older children match the three reported in the 1900 census. Her mother's name is reported in 1910 as Sisson, compared to Susan in 1900. It seems more likely that an enumerator would have mistaken Sisson for Susan than the other way around. Sisson is a very unusual first name. But we ahve other records that report her name as Susan E Nix. On her marriage record, though, her middle initial is reproted as U. But Sisson's reported age in the 1910 census is 74, while in 1900 it was only 53. This kind of discrepancy is not unusual in the censuse of that era, esepcially where the 1900 census is involved. 1910 Federal Census, Dallas County, Arkansas, 4 May, Princeton Township, District 6, Sheet 15A, Hse/Fam #145 Ross, Angie Head F W 36 Widow 5 children/4 living AR US Unknown Ross, Wesley Son M W 19 Single AR AR AR Ross, Richard Son M W 16 Single AR AR AR Ross, Emma Dau F W 14 Single AR AR AR Ross, Olie [Ollie in other sources] Dau F W 3 Single AR AR AR Freeman, Sisson Mother F W 74 Single Unknown Unk Unk

It appears that Rosa Mae and Elvin were divorced at some point. In her mother's obituary in 1999, Rosa is referred to as a survivor under the name of "Rosa Mae Evans of Marietta." So her second marriage occurred some time before 1999. I have not found a record or reference to the divorce or second marriage.

Mildred was apparently married 7 times. Our research had located the Texas marriage record for six of these. A well-documented genealogy was the first record giving her maiden name and other family information. This tree provides Mildred's middle name, the name of her parents and the name of her first husband, for whom neither this genealogist or myself have found the record of marriage. I have found neither the marriage nor the divorce record. This genealogy reports that her marriage to Dudley McClellan occurred on 8 March 1947. This means she was married to Mr Harbour less than a year. Mildred Laverne "Margie" Freeze Birth 20 Jan 1931, Death 15 Nov 1990 in Crosby, Harris, Texas Parents James Abner Freeze b 1902, Georgia Ruth Nixon 1909 - 1994 Marriage to Joseph Dudley McClellen 8 Mar 1947 -- Byrd-Armstrong, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/9358499/person/-698447427 Her Social Security records, found only in January 2019, introduced another married name, showing the first name change from Freeze to Harbour. The name change was reported to Social Security in July 1946. With this information a new search produced a marriage record supporting that marriage. It was a record her second marriage, to J D McClellan, as Mildred L J Harbour.

Mildred apparently had two middle names and only Laverne is acknowledged in some records. Most records actually have only an initial L. Mildred married Coy Brown in 1968 in Brazos County, Texas.

Interestingly, the first name on the list has he middle name as Diverne, rather than Laverne, and adds a second middle name of Joyce, but the names are written as a single double name. This is supported also in the second entry with only initials: Mildred LJ Hrbour. This also introduces an additional married name we had not found in the marriage and divorce records. Not all the known marriages are represented in the name list of her Social Security records. Her final name, usually the name assigned after death. uses an earlier married name of Brown, rather than her final married name of Hurdle. Her two middle names were apparently misenteered in the Social security records as Divernejoyce, mispelled and entered as a single name. Her second entryhas initials L J. These two initials are also ofund on her marriage record to her second husband J. D McClellan. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 Mildred Divernejoyce (?)
