According to birth and census, Arkansas. As of yet, I have no information about Texas. It is frustrating because I only have a name and not even sure if that name is spelled correctly. My great grandfather was married three times and this Maria is his second wife. I have no information on the first wife who is either from Oklahoma or Arkansas. They had one daughter together and I have her birth date (no place) and death year as well as place. I found the information on Maria from her second son's birth record and from her first son's obituary. I have a video tape of one of my great grandfather's daughters on her 90th birthday and she stated that the first two wives died in childbirth as that is what she was told. Thank you Mary Murphy
