  They did not live in Arkansas very long.  They divorced and moved back to north Texas.  All the children reported in 1920 had been born before they moved to Arkansas, so they moved to Arkansas some time after Jack was born in about 1906.  No new children born in Arkansas are reproted in any later records.
  
  In the 1930 censuses they are not married.  It is not known if Jeff and Mattie divorced in Arkansas, or only after they moved back to Texas.  Jeff was married to his third wife, Katie Barefoot, and living in Baylor County, Texas, where Katie's previous husband had died.  In 1930, Mattie was living in Baylor County, but reported as widowed.  Mattie's father is in her household.
