| 1. | Edna Pearl KING was born on 23 Apr 1892 in Canmer, Hart, KY; died on 5 Nov 1981 in San Diego, San Diego, CA; was buried in Cypress View Mausoleum, San Diego, San Diego, CA. Other Events and Attributes:
- Name: Mary Creamer
- Census: 16 Apr 1910, St. Louis, St. Louis, MO
- Death: 5 Nov 1981, San Diego, San Diego, CA
Notes:
Alternate Name:
I have 5 paintings done by Mary, 4 oils and 1 appears to be chalk or pencil. One hung in our family home for most of my life and I acquired the others after her death.
Researchers on ancestry.com consistently give the parents of Edna Pearl King as James Robert King and Leona Welden but the records are full of inconsistencies. One researcher has Leona married 3 times, to Robert King, Hezekiah McGinnis and then Charles Yoemans. This is impossible as the King and McGinnis marriages are simultaneous. Further Hezekiah and Leona McGinnis are alive and well in Kentucky during the 1920 census. Hezekiah and Leona are listed as having been married 7 years in the 1900 census (this while the King marriage is still producing children.) Leona is enumerated in the 1910 census in Indianapolis, IN along with her daughters Mary and Bernice King. She is listed as Divorced (and Leona and Hezekia McGinnis are still in Kentucky at this time). I believe these were all put together using ancestry's dancing leaves that urge one to connect records and people with no real research or thought.
In fact Leona was married 4 times but never to Hezekiah McGinnis.
