Mary is shown married to John EDWARDS, her second husband, on the 1880
census for Faulkner County, Arkansas. Folklore says that John went
into the woods one day, to work, and was never heard from again.

[42]
The surname KEITHLEY is spelled 'KEATHLEY' among Mary's ancestors, as
recent as her own parents. Many documents I have obtained - Luther
(son of mary) Elgin WARREN's death certificate, social security
application form, Mary Lou Branscum's text, "Branscums and Related
Families of Stone County, Arkansas", etc. list Mary's name spelled
'KEITHLEY'. (Luther listed her as KEITHLEY in his own handwriting on
his social security application). This needs furthur evaluation.

The surname MAVITY has also been reported as 'MAVADA'. The latter
spelling is believed to be in error, because of the presence of two
'MAVITY' sisters in Indiana. These sisters also married BRANSCUMS, and
lived in Indiana during the same period Rebecca did. Also, there were
no 'MAVADA' families in this area at this time.

Bartlesville, while living with his family in Dewey, OK just outside
of Bartlesville in 1936.

His obituary states he lived in Flippin, Arkansas for three years--this is
where he married Irene Carolyn WARREN.
