Sources
Documentation: Sources: British civil registration (Mary Jane's birth); Michigan death certificates (Frank, son Paul); Michigan marriage records (FamilySearch Pilot); WWI draft registrations (Ray Corbett, Walter Johnson); social security death index; 1880-1900-10-20-30 US censuses. Other information: There was a fourth child (Frank's death certificate says he was father of 4; Mary Jane was mother of 4 in 1900 census). Mary Jane married Alem Whiting in 1902 in Hillsdale County; in 1910 they were in Hanover Twp, Jackson, MI with a son Wayne (b 1905), but had separated by 1920. In 1920 she married Clifford Lay in Jackson; there may have been a fourth marriage, as she is 'Mary Worthington' in 1920 and in the marriage to Lay. Son Ray's wife Alice had been married in 1910 to Burnett Dopler and in 1914 to Henry Burdick; both marriages ended in divorce as did her marriage to Ray Corbett; she married a fourth time in 1919 to Lloyd Thayer.
