James' father died in about 1909, and his mother remarried. Her second husband was Thomas Slattery, a widower about 3 years younger than James. James is reported as married for 3 years, matching the record of his marriage to Byrdie Ida Gordon. But Byrdie is not enumerated in this household. James' brother Clarence is also in still in the home. James is reported her as 40 years old, but he was actually born in 1868.

In the 1930 census James Edgar is reported in the census as James E Martin, age 61. One genealogy reported his name as James Edward, but his granddaughter, Byrdie Engle McSwain, tells me his name is James Edgar.
James' wife Byrdie Ida Gordon died some time before this 1930 census. In 1930 James is a widowed father living with his two daughters in DeWitt, Arkansas County, Arkansas.
