There is no Divorce Records on-line prior to 1923 so they were not checked. This adds two more names to the mix – Julia A. Brown and Julie E. Bradley.
Is Julie A. Brown the daughter of Epps R. Brown and if she is why isn’t she listed in the Census;  or maybe one of the nicknames used is Julie nickname – Lizzie, Donnie or Nannie?
Remember the booklet by Minnie ,; it say that Dora married Joel Goodwin & Jim Buckner
171.   Dora; b.__________;d.__________; m. (1) Joel Goodwin; m. (2) Jim Buckner. Lived in Western Texas.

The marriage License say that Joel Goodwin married Julia A. Brown , born 1853 in Union County, Arkansas on the 25 February 1879 in Ouachita County, Arkansas.[1]



Jim Buckner married married Julia E. Bradley, born 1855 in Union County, Arkansas on the 26 March 1880 in Union County, Arkansas.[2]


 
In the 1900 Coryell County, Texas Census; [3]James Buckner lists his wife as  Elizabeth J. Buckner, age 46, born Mar 1853 in Arkansas – Married 6 years (1894)



By 1920 the Couple is back to James and Julia; Nolan County, Texas.[4]


Then in 1930 Nolan, Texas, the last census they are listed in, the Couple is listed as James B.  & Julia A.[5]


Julia – Elizabeth-Donnie – dies first and her death certificate [6]shows her husband to be the wife of J. M. Buckner and her parents to be E. R. Rivers and Dorinda Adair.



I still do not know which of Epps Rivers Brown daughters this is; but, I am clearly convinced that all these ladies are just one lady with multiple names.  I have networked with several other individuals closer associated with this line than I am and was told by one of these individuals that the daughter had to get out of Arkansas quick due to some sort of trouble in 1893-1894. 

While this is hearsay the multiple uses of names lend some credence to the story. The date of the trouble story (1893-1894) coincide with the reported years of marriage (6)(1894) in the 1900 Census; so is Elizabeth J. Bucker  full name is Elizabeth Julie Brown Buckner? There was a Lizzie Brown but census shows her to be born in 1859 and it is reported she died young.  Only Nannie & Lucy were born around 1853.

If you are related to this family or have knowledge of this family; I would love to share and exchange information, ideas and comments.  

In Part 3, we will look at the other daughter and her husband Al Glass. It’s time for me to update my research plan on this couple.
