Hollis Lyman / Mary Elizabeth 'Libby' and Jessie Elsie Marshall, Jackson Michigan

Classification: Query
Surnames: Lyman Marshall Carpenter Woodworth Werner
I am seeking information or connections on the families of the below:

Hollis Lyman, fathered a child in Michigan in 1885 with Elizabeth Mary 'Libby' Marshall. They did not marry.

Their child was Jessie Elsie Marshall, born January 2 1886 and raised by her grandparents John Marshall and Sarah Kidd Marshall.

Elsie's second husband was Ernest Carpenter, born April 14 1879 to Lester Carpenter and Amanda Millie Bates. His sister was Frances Carpenter Travers Hoag.

Ernest married Bernice Russell, who died in 1908 leaving him with their three daughters: Geraldine Carpenter, Catherine Carpenter, and Mildred Carpenter. Catherine went on to marry Robert Carr, future mayor of Orlando. She changed the spelling of her name to Kathryn. They may have had a daughter named Louise.

Ernest also married Bernice Hoxie Ward. Their marriage ended in 1911.

His next marriage was to Jessie Elsie Marshall Woodworth in 1913. It is believed they were divorced sometime prior to 1917. Elsie went on to marry Adam Werner, and they were divorced in 1922.

Elsie and Ernest seem to have reconnected in 1923, and conceived a child who was given up for adoption.

If anyone knows of, or has any connection to any of the above individuals, please reply below or send an email to eallenart at gmail dot com. Thank you so much in advance for your time.
