She was the widow of Lee A. GRIGGS and the mother of Ruby born abt 1912. I do not know if she or Lee had been previously married to others or if either had other children. I think her maiden name was ENGLISH and that she was Rebecca Jane, oldest child of Joseph ENGLISH and Rebecca [WILSON] who lived and died in Benton Co AR. Joseph ENGLISH's obituary Sep 1925 said he was survived by a son Oliver ENGLISH and a "daughter, Mrs Lee Griggs of Joplin" . The 1920 and 1930 censuses below are the only "Lee Griggs" I found living in "Joplin" and the wife's given name, age, and birthplace matches too. 1920 Jasper Co MO/Joplin/HH 420-525/pg 158b Griggs, Lee/HH/wm age 52 TN/Tn/Tn GRIGGS, Jane/wife/wf age 50 Ar/TX/Ar Griggs, Ruby M/dtr/wf age 07 MO/Tn/Ar 1930 Newton Co MO/Granby/HH 63-63/pg 92a/pg 92a Griggs, Lee A/HH/wm age 64 TN/Tn/TN GRIGGS, Jane/wife/wf age 63 Ar/US/Ar My heartfelt thanks for this transcription or any additional information on Rebecca Jane's child or children, Kathye
