She & her son Chalma Allen Roberts have been very hard to fill in just basic census info. She seems to go back to King so I think she was not married to the others or she really loved Nimrod King. Both her father, herself and Nimrod King married or lived with several partners so this has complicated researching a bit.
She is illiterate so some discrepancies are normal
The goal is to fill in the census info on Her and son Chalma Allen Roberts and maybe find his father.
Born Delphia Jane Fletcher in Missouri at about 1864. No birth record only going my census.
She marries Nimrod Noe King between 1880 and 1886. First child born 1881 Lida A King. She has 6 King children and at some is divorced from him, before 1900. In 1902 or 1903 she has my grandfather Chalma Allen Roberts. Do not have any info on the father. In about 1908 she has a child called James Hays. I find her in 1910 census with a Fred Hays 46, Jimmie 2, "Norra" King (should be Nettie) and "Charles King" (I think it is Chalma).
