Eva had one child Marie Megginson (name on adoption papers) on February 16, 1907, no father named. Marie was adopted by Henry & Mary Fearon on March 4, 1907 and her legal name was changed to Katherine Marie Fearon.

The Fearons were originally from Jacksonville Il but moved to St Louis Mo were the birth & adoption took place. Believe the families knew each other prior to adoption as there is a picture of Mary Fearon & "Aunt Rose Hembrough" in St Louis in 1935 holding my infant father.

Eva's first marriage was on September 24, 1910 in Morgan County Illinois to Thomas James Newcomb (born 6.22.1881 Rock Island IL - death unknown). They lived in Peoria Illinois up until 1935 when records show him in Tulsa Oklahoma as a lodger & in Kansas City in 1942. Can find no records for him after that time.
Second husband was Richard Thomas Collins II, believe married sometime after 1951.
