(Research):Could he have married first Vernon Maund? Seems unlikely as the James E. King, also born ca 1892, who married Vernon Maund can be found with her and their three children on both the 1920 and 1930 census listings, first in Sabine County and later in Sabine Parish, and both responded that they had been married approx. 16 years.
