We also know that she was married to Jacob Mullens from 1879 to 1883, although he state that there were no children by the marriage. In the 1900 Hawkins County, TN census, Jesse is listed a being born in Dec 1881 (age 18), in the 1910 Hawkins County, TN census he is listed as age 27, in the 1920 Greenville County, SC census he is listed as 35, and in the 1930 Hancock County, TN census he is listed as 54 with age of first marriage as 42. In SC he was living next to Allen and Lyda Winstead. She was born 1876/1877. They were also living next to a Marshall West from Tennessee in SC. Allen Winstead was the first cousins once removed of the children of Curren Lawson. Age discrepencies are common in census records when there is a significant difference in age between parties. The old tend to get younger or the young tend! to get older over time. There is no evidence of a marriage between Allen Winstead and a Lyda/Lida.
