✔Additional Information
William Luther Tynes and his twin brother John Hastle were born on December 4, 1829, their father, Timothy, was 41 and their mother, (UNKNOWN) who was supposedly Indian, was 34. He worked as a Black Smith and then later a preacher. William married Caroline Rachel Compton, daughter of James Frazier Compton and Julia A Sowerhaven. William and Caroline had seven children together. After Caroline died, William married his second wife Mary Ann Dillard (previously married to Alexander Baker) on June 19, 1880, in Nacogdoches, Texas. They were only married for a short peiod of time. William died on July 6, 1906, in Nacogdoches, Texas, having lived a long life of 76 years, and was buried there.
Genealogist Valerie Fields Harris lists both Mary Ann Dillard Baker and Caroline R. Compton as William Luther Tynes's first wife. Valerie also states that his marriage to Mary Ann Baker : (Mary Ann Dillard) ended in divorce. From somewhere (source unfortunately not noted), I have a marriage date of 19 June 1880 for Luther Tynes and Mary Ann Baker; this would therefore be William Luther's second marriage, a year after the death of his first wife Caroline. It was also eight days after the 1880 census was taken in William Luther's district, where he is listed as a widow.
"M. A. Tines" appears on the 1900 census, one page away from her stepson Calvin Dee Tynes and in the same precinct as her ex-husband William Luther Tynes. She is living with her son Alexander Lee Baker and his family. Her marital status is listed as widowed, not divorced, even though William Luther was still alive.
