GRAY and Misinya/Mysina LAMKIN/LAMPKIN. Ione married Elwood M. BEAN ca 1868. They had two daughters, Ellen and Estelle, before divorcing. I don't know what happened to Ellen after the 1870 Census. In 1910, Elwood was living in OK with his daughter, Estelle, and son-in-law, Charles CALDWELL. Ione married Samuel PRINGLE on 11 Jan 1878 in Milam Co, TX. I am distantly connected by marriage to Ione GRAY through her brother, Seeley D. GRAY, who married my great-grandaunt, Gatsie/Gatsy/Ghatsey M. BULLOCK.
