Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Edna Pearl KING  [1] 
    Birth 23 Apr 1892  Canmer, Hart, KY Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    Gender Female 
    Death 5 Nov 1981  San Diego, San Diego, CA Find all individuals with events at this location 
    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.
