Bone made a mistake with claiming he had 3 wives. Vahdah Olcott-Bickford (who was his student and lived with them during the last years of his life) confirmed that Jesusita Zuniga De Vivar, called Jessie, was his only wife.
Bone erred in stating he had 3 spouses; however, Vahdah Olcott-Bickford verified that only one wife, Jesusita Zuniga De Vivar (also known as Jessie), existed.
