UNKNOWN BEE MARRIED MARY MAGDALENA "LENA" UNKNOWN
Before Mary Magdalena "Lena" married Berry Clifton Cox of my direct line, she was apparently married to an Unknown Bee and had three children, Robert, Lena and Douglas Bee who were raised by Berry.Don't have much information about "Lena" like her maiden name and parents nor what happened to her previous husband and I would be interested in knowing.I have a "Cox" family photo that shows Lena, Berry C. Cox, her "Bee" children and the two sons she had with Berry.All the information I have about Lena follows in the Berry Clifton Cox entry.
Berry Clifton Cox, son of Berry White Cox and Gabriel Green, born 31 January 1876, died March 1980 per Family Bible page copy provided by Peggy Jackson.He is shown as Berry Cox, age three, born in Tennessee, at home, living with his parents on the 1880 District 10, Wilson County, Tennessee Federal Census which computes to a birth year of about 1877.He married Mary Magdalen "Lena" Unknown, who had been married to an Unknown Bee because she brought three stepchildren to the marriage:Robert Bee, Lena Bee and Douglas Bee and had at least two sons with Lena, John called Johnny and an Unnamed son.There is an early family photograph of Berry, Lena and her children by the previous marriage and two additional children.There is a 1931 photograph identified as Berry Cox's own sons, Johnnie and one not identified.There is a photo identified as "Lena Cox" but it is not known if this Lena was his adopted daughter or his natural daughter
