    Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957
    Lena Hall
    Age 18, Birth Year abt 1906
    Residence De Witt, Arkansas, Arkansas
    Spouse's Name Tim Poston
    Spouse's Age 21
    Spouse's Residence De Witt, Arkansas, Arkansas
    Marriage 27 Jul 1924 Arkansas County
    Marriage License Date 26 Jul 1924

    The marriage record in the name of TIm matches James Theodore Poston, even though family sources report that James married Mary Inez Bonner in 1922.  No image of the record is included, only the transcribed index record.  A matching 1930 census record for a Jim and Lena Poston also matches James' birth state.  But his age makes his birth date earlier than James Theodore.

    1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 11 April, DeWitt, District 1-16, page 12A-12B, Hse #290, Fam #288
    Poston, Tim Head M W Rents $7 25 Married Age at first marriage 21 [mar abt 1926] IL IL IL Laborer [b abt 1905]
    - page 12B -
    Poston, Lena F W 21 Married Age at first marriage 15 [mar abt 1924] TN TN TN [b abt 1909]

    In the census, the reported ages at first marriage for Jim and Lena don't match.  Lena's first marriage, if the reported age is correct, was 6 years earlier (abt 1924), while Tim's was only 4 years earlier (abt 1926).  The age reported for Lena matches their marriage record, 27 July 1924.

    A Social Security record appears to be for the same Tim Poston who married Lena Hall.
