    In 1920, Mary Jemima is married to Marlin in Union County, Arkansas.  They have been married about 6 years, going by the age of their oldest chilild, Flora M Davis.  A famliy source reports that Flora's birth date was in May 1915.  Marlin was maintaning two familes simultaneously.  There is no record of his ever marrying Ella Bivens, but he had two children with her..

    "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."
