Wesley is reported here as the son of James, but Wesley's father is reported born in Texas, while James is reported born in Oklahoma. There is a 20-year difference in age between Wesley and the next child here, Jean (Gene). I would not think they had the same mother. But since James and Mary have been married only about 5 years, Gene and Joe would be the children of the 1st wife. Since Wesley's father is reported born in Texas, it could be Wesley is an adopted son of the first wife.
We are told that James and Mary have been married 5 years. Letha is reported as 5 years old, but the way they dealt with years and ages then, and the gap in ages from the first two children, Letha would likely be the first child of this marriage.
