It seems to me it is down to which descendent's memory do you trust. My source is Ruth Bynum Greenlee who has knowledge of both the Bynum and Greenlee side and has personal knowledge of Martha Jane.
You are correct in James Franklin Greenlee did mary Martha Jane in 1880 Clay Co., TX. The last known fact about him is 1899 Wichita Co., TX.
Martha Jane's death certificate indicates her maiden name was "Coweth" - info supplied by one of the children.
It seems a lot of confusion exists in that there was a Martha Jane Cornelius Cowden who married Robert Lindsey Cowden and was born about 1862 in AL. I made this mistake in assuming this Martha Jane was the who married James Greenlee.
Maybe there is some confusion in the following:
William Uriah Bynum first married Matilda Ellen Easley about 1879 in Ellis Co., TX. The children of this marriage were: Catherine Malinda, Edward John, William McKinley, and Oscar E.
William Bynum married Martha Jane Greenlee about 1891 in Ellis Co., TX. Their children were Ira Columbus, James Pentlon, Alice Mae, and Harvey M.
I stand by posting as being factual.
