Though Marlin married Jemima, he was simultaneously having two children with Ella Bivens, one named Flora M born in October 1915, while Marlin's daughter with Ellan Bivens, named Addie Flora, was born in October 1915
"Flora M. Davis was born to Marlin and Jemima in may of 1915. My grandmother Addie Flora Davis was born in Oct 1915 to Marlin Davis and Ella Bivens Davis. Same dad. different moms. He is running back and forth between these two women having kids with both of them. Ella is a full 20 years older than he is and is a colorful character to put it mildly. Married 3 times, but I can find no record of her and Marlin being married although she took his last name."
