Married between 1910-1912 to Ruth Cleveland Murray.
Mahala (Brantley) Eason died between 1891-1896...I don't know her exact
death date. John married Nancy May (Vester) Joyner about
1896. John and Nancy had Jackson Eason together, for
sure...Lula Eason was born about 1897 and was probably their first child
together...but, I'm not positive about this.
Nancy had Charly, Melvin and Patrick Joyner and she said, in 1900, that
she had given birth to 6 children and that 4 children were living on 22
June 1900. She also said she had been married to John Eason
for 4 years, by this date. John Eason, on the other hand,
stated that he had 7 children living and that he, too, had been married
to Nancy for about 4 years, on this same day in 1900. And,
if you note, I have listed 7 children that John and Mahala had together,
which seems to back up this census enumeration.
I know this is more than three children but, unless the relationships
were misstated in multiple censuses, these were her children,
nevertheless. I hope this helps, instead of confuses.
