b)Ada Mae Scarbrough was born in Pinceton, Gordon County Indiana. Her mother
was Lena Kettner or Keitner. Mae was part Cherokee from her mothers side of
the family. Mae told of being in a wagon during the Cherokee Strip Land Run.
This would seem to indicate that she lived in Oklahoma at the time of their
marriage. Mae and Orville divorced some years later and she married Ed Lea.
