Individual Details

According to an online database, Alexander married about 1883.

I found the family in 1900, living in the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma, Twp 5, Hh 24
Alexander Luman, b. May 1868, age 32, married 17 years, b. AR, father b. MO, mother b. KS, a farmer
Mary, wife, b. Apr 1867, age 33, has had 7 children; b. AR, father b. TX, mother b. IT
Willie, son, b. Mar 1884, age 16. Annie, dau, b. Mar 1889, age 11. Mary J., dau, b. May 1891, age 9. Sadoc [prob. Zadoc], b. Sep 1892, age 7. Estis, son, b. Apr 1894, age 6 - all born in Arkansas
Leonia, dau, b. Apr 1896, age 4, and Joe, son, b. May 1899, age 1 - born born IT

A note place on Ancestry reveals that Mary may have first been married to James Thomas Shadwick - that Willie and Annie were stepchildren of Alexander Luman. This would indicate they had been married much less than the 17 years indicated. I have no additional proof except the following 1910 census states they had then been married 21 years, or married 1889.

I did find the marriage record: W. A. Luman to Mary Shadwick, 28 Nov 1889, Logan Co, AR.
As Mary Doyle she married J. T. Shadwick, 2 Jul 1882, Logan Co, AR.

Mary Jane Doyle Shadwick Luman, who was originally from West Plains, Missouri, came to the Hodgens area in the late 1890's with her second husband, Alec Luman. Her first husband, Thomas Shadwick, had drowned in the Petit Jean River in Arkansas, leaving her with two small children, William, born March 4, 1984, and Annie, born March 11, 1889. Annie married David C. Smith in 1906. She died in 1912 leaving two children, Thomas and Hester.
