[Note from this researcher: The 1920 census for Savannah, GA records Clarence Haskins (16 - GA/VA/SC) and Andrey Haskins (13 - GA/VA/SC) living with their mother Margaret Zimpleman (30 - SC/SC/SC) in the home of George E. (42 - Maine/Maine/Maine) and Sarah G. (32 - SC/SC/SC) Johnson and their children Jonathan T. Johnson (11) and Glenn G. Johnson (9). Margaret indicates she is divorced ... is her maiden name Zimpleman? Sarah's maiden name would as well; however, I have found no evidence of this possible Zimpleman family ... perhaps Margaret divorced James E. Haskins, remarried to a Zimpleman, then divorced him ... The 1930 Census for Waycross, Ware Co., GA records Audrey E. Haskins (23 - GA/VA/GA) living with William L. (33 - GA/GA/GA) and Margaret V. Chafin (40 - GA/SC/FL). William and Margaret have been married for 9 years. By 1940 Margaret is listed in the census as a widow and back in Savannah. Georgia death records indicate William L. Chafin of Ware Co. died Sept 3, 1934.]
