Subject: LUMPKINS or SIMPKINS ?

I am searching for Laura POE, a lost cousin and any descendants she
may have had. There's a Laura POE who married 5 May 1896
in Randolph Co, AR either
H? Q? LUMPKINS or SIMPKINS.
Is this my Laura POE ?

Apparently the penmanship is such that there was a question
as to whether it should be transcribed as LUMPKINS or SIMPKINS.

Laura POE was prob b in MO abt 1874/5 to Harvey POE (poss from
IL) and Martha McDADE from TN. They were divorced before the
1880 Census when Martha McDADE and her dau Laura POE are
enumerated with her parents, John McDADE and Josephine WOMBLE,
in Clay Co, AR.

I have been unable to find the LUMPKINS or SIMPKINS in the
1900 or a later Census.

Most grateful for any additions, corrections, or help in contacting any
living descendants.

Janice
