I found William, Mary A, Lewis D and Willie B on the 1910 census, living next door to Joseph A and his wife Bertha. According to the census, William had been married 4 times, his wife Mary, married twice. They are in Stonewall, Pontotoc, Oklahoma.<br />

Hi Barbara-<br />
If this is the correct family, it would appear that William's wife in 1900 is not John's mother. I would guess that John and Joseph were from a first marriage, the last three were from the second wife?<br />
