    Burrell's family is living in Cocke County, Tennessee in 1870, apparently on their way to their final destination, Ethel, Arkansas County, Arkansas.  We find them enumerated there in 1880, along with their son Edwin and his wife Judith N McSwain and their family.

    I have found no documentation that gives us MA's maiden name.  One genealogy reports that Burrell's first wife was M A Ragsdale.  No documentation is given, so this name must come from family sources.  But it indicates also that she died in 1889, which means she was the mother of the children through Lavina, who was born in January 1889.

    This death date of 1889 may be wrong, since a marriage record indicates that Burrell planned to marry Sallie Price in 1885.  But she broke off the engagement after the license was issued, and it was recturned unfulfilled with a notation to that effect.

    Or perhaps Burrell and M A divorced before he married Sarah Price in 1885.  I have found no death info or subsequent marriage record for M A Ragsdale Padgett,  In any case, it seems that M A Ragsdale was the mother of only the one child with Burl, William Edward Padgett.

    In his father's and his own memorial on Find a Grave, Bryan is reported as the son of Burrell Wylie Padgett and Sarah L Wilson.  Since Burrell married Sarah Wilson Woods in 1892 and Bryan was born in 1896, Sarah was his mother.

    Two other children several genealogies report as children of MA were born after the date of marriage to Sallie Price.  The W E reported as the son of M A Padgett in 1880 is William Edward.  Sallie Price was the mother of the next two children Martha Annie (1886) and Lavina Padgett (1889).

    Her name is written as Miss S L Wood, but in the 1900 census, there are 2 children with the surname of Woods, indicating that Woods was her first married name.  This wife is reported as Sarah L Padgett in the 1900 census.

    This census says "Bear" and Sarah L have been married 6 years.  This matches the marriage of Burl to Sarah Wilson Woods in 1892.  There are two new children here, Bryan J and Loula, that were born to Sarah after her marriage to Burl.

    (The census taker misheard Burl Wiley as Bear Y.  Easy to do in the dialect of the area.)  We may conclude that M A (whose given names and maiden name I have not yet figured out) died before 1894.  There are two children in the household named Woods, born in Mississippi.

    Although this census reports these are the daughter and son of Burl ("Bear"), they are his step-children.  They are 14 and 8 years old, and thus born before this marriage.  We may thus conclude that Sarah was previously married to a man named Woods.  We also note that Sarah has lost 4 of her 8 children.

    A couple of Padgett genealogies report that Burl died in Comanche County, Oklahoma, in October 1930.  With that clue I found census entries for Burl (Burrell) and Sarah in Holdenville, Hughes County, Oklahoma, for 1910 and 1920, then near Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma, in 1930.

    1910 Federal Census, Hughes County, Oklahoma, 19 April, Holdenville, District 108, page 4B,  Echo St, Hse/Fam #68
    Padgett, Ben [Burl] W Head  M W 53  Marriage 3 Married 17 years  NC NC NC Farming Owns

    Padgett, Bryan Son M W 13 AR MS MS
    Padgett, Loui [sic] Dau F W 11 AR MS MS
    Padgett, Loyd Son M W 7 OK MS MS

    The 1910 census tells us that Burl was married three times, not just twice.  I have not found and records for a wife before MA, reported as his wife in 1880.  In 1880, only one child, a 4-month-old infant, was reported in the home.  Since he was 9 or 10 years older than M A, Burl may have been married earlier, with no children from that marriage.

    Since the 1910 census reports that Sarah L and Burl have been married 6 years.  That matches somewhat with another marriage record of Burl to S L Woods in 1892.  This appears to be the Sarah L Woods who is reported as Burl's wife in the 1900 and later censuses.
