Frank Bivens married Mary A Mathena . i think , instead of mary Baker .Do you have
marriage record?
what is confusing is that they are married 35 years in 1910 census. but Mary Marthena was
single in 1880 census with parents.Her mother is Nancy Woodson .and she was married to
Jessie Mathena 13 Nov 1856 Jennings Indiana.

Harris are also from Spencer, Jennings Co Indiana , not for sure which one she (Elizabeth
Mathena)married but they were living close by
1880 Spencer Jennings Co Indiana
Sarah Harris widow 43 Va Va Va
Wm A 25 Va Va Va son
Edger F 13 Va VA VA
Melville 15 in va va
Clarence 10 in va va
Clyde 8 in va va
Leslie 5 in va va
this is James T Harris and Wife Sarah E Sealock
have census for 1870 also
In 1900 Clyde Harris with wife Daisy Bell Davis married her 24 Jul 1897 Jackson indiana
.they are living in Jennings Co Indiana Geneva twp with dau Grace and Manarvia
Melville Harris married Belle Tipton Gilbert and he is living with his family in 1900
Jackson Redding twp indiana
Sarah Harris is still in Spencer,jennings co indiana in 1900 age 65
Clarence is in Spencer Co indiana in 1910 and 1920 He married May Beasley 11 Apr 1906
Spencer Co Indiana
so unless one of these were married twice, i guess Elizabeth Mathena married either
William,Edgar or Leslie Harris.havent figured that out yet.
Jesse Mathena 's sister Rosetta Reddout is also living in Jackson ,Redding twp
please correct me with any errors ,and any additional information
thanks
