John W. & Birdie (Harrell) Core Family of AR, TX, OK & CA

I am Tommie J. (Harrell) Clayton and I’m looking for information on my great aunt and uncle’s family; this is what I know:

John W. Core was born in Arkansas Nov. 1872, parents unknown.
He married Birdie Harrell in Faulkner Co., AR, abt. 1898; she was the daughter of John Henry Harrell and Melissa C. Little of Faulkner Co., AR.

John & Birdie are found in the following census records:

1900 AR Faulkner Co, Benedict, ED 7, T623, Roll 58, Pg. 116-A, dwelling 137, family 140:
Core, John W, head, w, m, Dec, 1872, 27, m, 2, -, -, AR, AR, AR, Farmer
Core, Birdie, wife, w, f, Sept, 1881, 18, m, 2, 1, 0, AR, TN, MS
Harrell, Walter, bro-in-law, w, m, Jan, 1879, 21, s, -, -, AR, TN, MS, farm Laborer [Note: Walter is my grandfather.]
(Record says Birdie had 1 child, 0 living a/o Census)

1910 TX Wheeler Co, 1-PCT, Series T624, Roll 1600, Pg. 247-B, dwelling 249, family, 252, Lns. 73-78:
Core, John W., head, m, w, 38, m1, 12, AR, AR, AR, Farmer
Core, Birtie, wife, f, w, 28, m1, 12, 5, 4, AR, AR, MS
Core, Thelma, dau, f, w, 9, s, AR, AR, AR

Core, John H., son, m, w, ?, s, TX, AR, AR
Core, Harrold, son, m, w, 5/12, s, TX, AR, AR

Note: Also living in Van Zandt Co. TX in 1910 is one Elias Core, age 47, born in AR – could this be a relative of John W. and the name sake of John’s son Elias R.?

1920 OK Okfuskee Co., Morse, Series T625, Roll 1478, Pg. 119-B & 120-A, dwelling (no #), family 176, Lns. 49-50 & 1>6:
Core, John W., head, o, m, m, w, 48, m, -, y, y, AR, AR, AR, Farmer
Core, Birdie, wife, f, w, 38, m, -y, y, AR, MS, MS

Core, Maxine, dau, f, w, 6, s, y, - , -, OK, AR, AR, none

Note: Walter W. & Lela (Hammer) Harrell and Bill & Ora Pearl (Harrell) Farnum, brother and sister of Birdie, were also living in Okfuskee Co., between 1907 and 1920. Mrs. Nancy Ann E. (Rosemond) Little, their grandmother, had died in this county about 1909; she had moved into OK after his husband, Elijah W. Little, died in AR after 1880.

Note: John W. Core died in OK before the 1930 census which listed Birdie Core as a widow with her children:

1930 OK Okfuskee Co., Morse, ED 54-11, Sheet 7-A, dwelling & family # 129, Lns. 16>23:
Core, Birdie, head, o, y, f, w, 49, widow, n, y, AR, AR, MS, Farmer

Core, Maxine, dau, f, w, 15, s, n, y, OK, AR, AR, None

Note: Sometime after this Birdie moved to CA where she probably lived with one of her children before she passed away:
