Pat, I was told that after Lilly and Jess Stevens divorced that she married a Moody for a short time before her marriage to George R. Sanders and that Jess Stevens married Kate (unknown)Moody who is believed to be the ex-wife of the man Lilly married. Neither marriage lasted very long. They were all from the same area. I believe you also had found something about the marriages,as I remember you commenting that it sounded like a bit of wife swapping going on. Jess may not of been married to Kate long enough to have children but I don't know. He may have had at least three more children with her or his third wife (that is what his brother Jeff Stevens had said.) He didn't remember the third wifes name. He only returned once to visit his brother then left town without saying goodbye. My grandmother died in 1975 without ever finding out what happened to her father. She had been trying to find where Jess died for a long time. She believed he may have moved to Oklahoma but never knew for sure. Edd Stevens Jess father is buried in the Lost Prairie Cemetery. Thank you so much for all the work you do helping everyone with all the Limestone information.
