- According to Terry Harris:
Not known when Helen and Phillip divorced, but it would have been by 1940 or before, but after 1927 when they married. Helen was said to be Olive skin, dark hair and eyes. (Possible Native American blood? Spanish? Greek?)
Helen was living in Rosebud, Illinois at the time of her marriage to Phillip, with her daughter, Dimple. She was born Clithy Helen James. She was living in Seattle, Washington in 1940 where she applied for a S.S.# and gave her name as Helen Gladys McMillian. She had remarried to William J. McMillian, who was a prominent Dentist. Sharon Estrada tried to track more records on William, but the Dentistry Board said records were destroyed in a fire. It is not known why she used the name Helen Clyde James. She was listed as age 21, white at time of marriage to Phillip. Phillip was listed as age 27 and white. Phillips parents were both listed as deceased. Helen's father was listed as deceased, but her mother was listed as Sarah James. Witnesses were listed as Frank and Burt Jones.
Believed to have had other children besides Dimple, but unknown who and where they are.
All I know about Knapp is I found it on her death record. In fact I looked for her death record for 30 years, when I found it , It listed Gladys Helen Knapp died April 1st 1953 SanDiego Ca. BUT, It was amended above her name to say Gladys Helen McMillan, Don't have a clue. AS far as Jones, I saw it on one of her uncles wills , He left his state to all of his sisters brothers kids, She was listed as Helen Gladys Belcher - Jones - Winder- Mcmillam. This happened in Il Rosebud Ill. [2]
