Don't know whether this will be useful, but I found this yesterday at the library. "Searcy Co Marriages 1881-1895" by Ruby Lacy. James Turner aged 27 of Bear Creek m SCAR 17 Aug 1881 Sarah Brown aged 21 of Bear Creek. Newton Reeves aged 28 of Marshall m SCAR 26 Oct 1890 Mrs Sarah Turner aged 30 of Marshall. It concerns me a little that Sarah Brown is not mentioned as "Mrs" when she married James Turner since you say she was married before this. Usually a widow will retain the "Mrs" as well as her deceased husband's surname, but a divorced woman usually not only drops the "Mrs" but often reverts to her maiden surname. I also find it interesting that the only Turner families in the 1880 census are in Richland and Sulphur Springs and that the only James Turner listed is 8 years old. Wonder where this one came from??? In my judgment, if Alice J Reeves were born after 26 October 1890, she would definitely be the child of both Newton and Sarah. However, if she were born before 26 October 1890, she might or might not be the child of both Newton and Sarah.
