Person:James Westfall (3)

1910 Census Oregon, Malheur states he is married but there is no one living with him.

James W. and Amy may have had a son named Oscar. I had one listed under them but combined him with the John Oscar. Birth year for this Oscar would have been 1876.

Could this couple have had a son named James born in Nov. 1878? If so see Census record CNOR022. There IS a James born 1881.

On James' DC the birthplace of his father is listed as Virginia not W. Virginia.

In the Divorce James got custody of Ida 12 yrs, Oscar 9 yrs and Ada 8 yrs. In his Divorce with Amy it states that he deserted her. In his Divorce with Minerva it states that she deserted him.
