She married (1) CHARLES WILLIAM BEVINS 23 Sep 1909 in Litchfield, KS (Anna's 1st mg; divorced). He was born Unknown, and died Unknown. She married (2) JACOB AYERS HOOVER, JR. 10 Oct 1914 in (Jacob's 5th marriage); md Ellsworth, Ellsworth Co, KS. He was born 20 Oct 1873 in Pattonsburg, Daviess Co, MO, and died 12 Mar 1957 in Denver, Denver Co, CO.

Notes for ANNA ELIZABETH GROUND:
There is an Anna Eliza Ground 1889-1926 buried at Abingdon City Cemetery in Knox Co, Ill. No particular reason to think it is this Anna Ground, as she was married twice, but the dates fit, and there are no other Anna Grounds to tie the information to at this time (1997).

Information from Don W. Thomas, grandson, tells that Anna died from complications of the birth of her youngest child, Floyd. The child also died within a month of his birth. As she was married in Ellsworth, Kansas, it seems unlikely that her body was removed to Illinois for burial.

Don Thomas later adds (18 Jun3 1998) that he has learned that this is the same Anna:

"Her parents were notified when she took ill and of her passing. I was told as a young boy that the Grounds never liked my Grandfather Jacob and held him responsible for the break up of her marriage to Charles Bevins. They traveled to Western Missouri and insisted she be interred in the Family plot, returning to Abingdon with her remains. At the time of her death she and Jacob Hoover were living in Pattosburg, Davies County, Missouri. Some years later my mother Willis Hoover Thomas and her sister Juanita and half sister Estalle Hoover (Jacob's dau by first wife) visited Abingdon and the Ground Family Plot. I have one picture of this occasion, but unfortunately it is not dated."

Notes for JACOB AYERS HOOVER, JR.:
Notes from Don W. Thomas (thomashouse@worldnet.att.net) on 8 April 1998:

"Children of these Hoovers are my first cousins and siblings. As I write this note everyone in my generation is still alive."

He continues to give details on the family of Anna Elizabeth and her two marriages.

A later message relates: "A distant cousin in California indicated that she thought Kate (the first wife of Jacob) was Anna's (the second wife) aunt, which would make her a Ground or a Cowper or perhaps even a Boydstun."

19 Jun 1998 from Don W. Thomas:

Jacob was actually married at least four times. He married 1) Mattie Wilson and together they had Susie (Dec 1898-Feb 1899), Russell (1900-1967), Ruby (1901-1981), Estelle (1903-1983), twins (Nov 1904-Nov 1904), and Birdy (1906-1909). He then married 2) Kate (no children), 3) Anna Elizabeth Ground, having my mother Willis and her sister and three brothers. It was the birth of the last boy (Floyd Sep 1926-Oct 1926) that Anna took ill with complications and passed in Sep 1926. Jacob married again 4) Carrie Williams in mid or late 1932 as the latest family was getting old enough to care for themselves.

Don Thomas writes again 9 Jan 2000, and sends a complete outline of the descendants of this couple, so details may be attributed to his outline unless otherwise specified.
