Marion was born in April of 1877 in Henderson County, raised in Bath Springs, attended Three Way School House, and passed away on May 17, 1931. He was survived by his second wife Lillie, his sons Edgar and Coy Bivins, by his first wife Annie. He was also survived by the children of his second wife Lillie, who were as follows. John Woodrow Bivins, Leona White, Ernest Marion Bivins, and Erles Thomas Bivins, all of whom are also deceased now.
Marion's first wife was "Annie" Anna Conaway. They had five children together, four sons and a daughter. Only two of the sons survived, Coy and Edgar Bivins. Anna passed away in 1910.
Marion's second wife, "Lillie" Lillian Louetta Elizabeth Flatt and her family, also lived in the area. They had four children. She passed away on Sept 13, 1957.
HANAH B. was the wife of (UNKNOWN) BIVINS and the mother of WILLIAM, MARION ERNEST, WILSON P. The only picture we have found, was taken from a metal photo plate. NOTE: We have yet to find documentation concerning Hanah's husband "UNKNOWN", so we are not absolutely certain of what his given name was. We believe that it was either Wilson or William. Also, the only information we have on Hanna B. is that she was born in March of 1849. We don't know what the "B." stands for, nor do we have any information as to what her maiden name was. We do know that they had five children. They were as follows, according to the June 6, 1900 Decatur County Census for District 11, Page 7, Lines 48-50 and Page 8, Line 1. (Underlined information added by my research.)
