Notes
- Virigina's name is spelled in genealogies as Gainer. On her daughter's California death record it is spelled Gaynor. The couple's marriage record had her name spelled Gainer. We often find names in these records spelled in various ways, as decided by the clerk from the oral name.

J T (James T) Stinson
Tennie Gainer
Marriage 26 Jun 1884 Wise County, Texas, USA
In 1910, Virginia is married to her second husband, Thomas B Everett, and their oldest child Otis is 4 years old. So it appears they married in about 1905. This seems to indicate her first husband, Lena's father, James Thomas Stinson, died between 1901 and 1905.

Thomas B Everett Head 56 (birth 1854) MO AR KY
Virginia T Everett Wife F W 44 (yields birth year 1866) KY TN KY
Otis J Everett Son M W 9 (born 1901) OK MO KY
John T Everett Son M W 2 (born 1908) OK MO KY
Lena T Stinson Stepdaughter F W 9 (1901) OK MO KY
On Lena's entry it appears they have put the place of birth of Lena's stepfather. Since Lena's middle initial in this enumeration is T, I am wondering if the enumerator took Virginia's middle name Tenney as her first married name and misunderstood this as Lena's maiden or middle name. Lena is otherwise known as Lena Fairy, which seems to be her proper given name.
