Hi Yvonne, Persona) lly, I think you have the same woman in Mary and Molly. The middle name could be a typo. As far as being married to sisters, you didn't say that Mary or Missouri died. So, assuming neither did I think he either 1)divorced or2) was married to both at the same time. It happended believe it or not. My husband's gggrandfather from Perry Co. was married to 2 women at the same time. He had a wife in Perry Co. and one in Garland Co. The family was shocked when I discovered this on the census. My mother in law admitted this to me to be the truth and she knew about it. I research the Martindale, Cockman, Douthit and Kitchens from Perry co.
