Mary Jane Daley was born April 4, 1895, at Leslie, in Searcy County, Arkansas. She was the daughter of Andrew Daley and Mandy Jane Branham.
The 1900 Pope County, Arkansas census shows Mary, age 5, at home with her parents and younger brother.
Mary Jane married David White on November 24, 1909, in Searcy County. Dave White was born about 1886, in Arkansas, according to census.
The 1910 Searcy County, Wileys Cove Township census shows Dave White, 23, married 1 time, married 1 year, AR, AR, AR, day laborer, odd jobs, rented house; and Mary, wife, 15, married 1 time, married 1 yr, 0 children, AR, AR, AR.
Mary Jane and Dave had one son. They divorced about 1913.
Mary Jane married Lewis Clark Allen on October 6, 1913, in Searcy County. Lewis Allen was born abut 1868, in Ohio. They had one son.
Mary Jane married her third husband John Frederick Jensen on November 6, 1916, at De Valls Bluff, Prairie County, Arkansas. John Jensen was born December 1852, in Sweden, according to the 1900 census, or about 1859, in Georgia, according to the 1920 census. We believe they are the same person, however, because of John's son Allen Jensen.
John Frederick Jensen was first married to Clara M. (maiden name unknown) about 1877. The 1900 census shows that Clara was born April 1858, in Wisconsin, and her parents were both born in Norway. John and Clara appeared on the 1880 Muskegon County, Michigan census with two children, and on the 1900 Oneida County, Wisconsin census with three other children. Clara died prior to 1910, in Wisconsin. John and Clara Jensen's children included: (1) George Jensen, b. 1878, WI; (2) Clara Jensen, b. Apr 1880, WI; (3) Allen A. Jensen, b. June 1885, WI; (4) William H. Jensen, b. June 1890, WI; and (5) Laura M. Jensen, b. Sept 1893, WI.
The 1920 Prairie County, Arkansas census, Lower Hill Township, shows Jeff Janson, rented, 61, b. GA, a bridge tender on the White River; Mary, wife, 26; Arvil, son, 8; Clark, son, 5; Mary, daughter, 2 years 8 months; Helen, daughter, 11months; and Allen, son, 34, b. WI, father b. GA, mother b. WI, a laborer at a saw mill. We believe this is the same Allen A. Jensen on the 1900 Wisconsin census.
