On the marriage license application between Lester and Ellen, she indicated that she had been married once before. Therefore, her surname of Freeman as given on the license application may not be her maiden name.

On the subsequent 1930 US Census, there were two children included, a daughter Peggy, b. 1924 and a son Welcome, b. 1926, both indicated as adopted. These were probably from Ellen's previous marriage.
