Elizabeth and Jerome had 7 children--3 sons and 4 daughters--of whom 6 lived to adulthood. According to Tony G. "There is a lot of speculation in the family. It has been noted that Jerome had a 2nd wife--Jane Holding--but no marriage cetificate. It is thought that Elizabeth brought her family to Waco whenever her parents moved there and that she never divorced Jerome--since she was buried as 'Mrs. Jerome Umberson.' "
In the 1870 McLennan County Census, Elizabeth and her son Jerome George Umberson were living with her other son, William Franklin Umberson.
