FS Family Tree vitals are tree conclusions attached to sources (census, headstone) that are not individually examined in this entry; treat dates as well-supported-tree-tier, not primary, except where a linked catalog entry ([D.522]/[D.523]/[D.524], [C.74], a future G.N) independently confirms.

- James M Travis, 1863–1902 (Elizabeth's husband; = L.4's "James M. Travis," = [C.74]'s "James Travis" parent-column). Married Elizabeth 25 Jun 1885 at Millington. → [p.1652].
Children (5) [verbatim from tree]
| # | Name (FS) | Dates (FS) | FS id | Catalog | L.4? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lloyd Cooper Travis | 3 Mar 1886 – 6 Jul 1948 | LW8K-FXD | [p.1209] | (cid 484) |
| 2 | Madeline P Travis | 1888 – 1962 | GC12-MSN | [p.1208] (L.4 "Magdalene Pattison") | (cid 482) |
| 3 | Mildred Travis | 1888 – (dec.) | GZFW-N77 | [p.1207] (L.4 "Mildred Susanna") | (cid 480) |
| 4 | Olive A Travis | 1892 – (dec.) | GC1K-F6P | [p.1206] (L.4 "Olive Abigail") | (cid 477) |
| 5 | Augusta Cooper Travis | 1897 – 1985 | GC12-9QD | [p.1651] (NEW) | — not on L.4 |
- ⇒ "Olive A" = Olive Abigail and "Madeline P" = Magdalene Pattison confirm the L.4 middle names; Madeline (1888) + Mildred (1888) share a birth year (possible twins, or one approximate). Augusta Cooper Travis (1897–1985) is a 5th child not drawn on L.4 — like her brother Lloyd she carries "Cooper" as a middle name (her mother's maiden surname).
Lloyd Cooper Travis — profile LW8K-FXD [verbatim from tree]
- Birth: 3 Mar 1885/6, Morris, New Jersey · Death: 6 July 1948, Martin, Florida (1 source)
- Spouses: (1st) Elizabeth (GZFW-F5H, b. 1886) — "No Marriage Events" recorded; (2nd) Eulalia Belle Shutt, m. 1 Nov 1934 per [C.74]. The FS 1st-wife "Elizabeth" corroborates [C.74]'s marking of the 1934 marriage as his "2nd."
- Parents/siblings panel = the family above. → [p.1209].
Census-search context (maintainer-supplied 1900 pulls) [desc]
- 1900 US Census "James Travis" (filtered Newark, Essex; spouse Elizabeth) — 8 hits; top = James Travis, Newark Ward 12, b. Oct 1843, England, "Father-in-law." Ward 12 ≠ Elizabeth's Ward 8, and b.1843/England ≠ James M Travis (b.1863) — this is not cleanly her husband; left unresolved (possible bearing on James M's English origin / parentage — a follow-up, not a conclusion).
- 1900 US Census "Lloyd Travis" (b. 1886 NJ) — 15 hits, none in NJ; the 14-yr-old Lloyd was not located under that search. Not conclusive of anything.
Why it matters
- Firms [p.925] Elizabeth's vitals — b. 21 Oct 1859 (matches [D.522]/[D.523]/[D.524] "3mo in 1860 / 10 in 1870 / 20 in 1880"), d. 2 Jun 1913 East Orange, bur. Basking Ridge Presbyterian — and gives her a headstone likeness (Image hunt). Confirms the rename to Elizabeth.
- The 1885 Millington marriage to James M Travis dovetails with son Lloyd's b. ~1886 Millington ([C.74]).
- Adds the whole gen-6 sibship with dates, plus a 5th child (Augusta [p.1651]) that L.4 missed — advancing the Daniel-Sr-tree full-coverage goal down Alexander [p.590]'s Travis branch.
