1. Everyone and their parents are listed as being born in Virginia, except Martha who is listed as born in Missouri.

2. Martha and Lewis are listed as being married for 6 years.

Martha is listed as the mother of 5, 4 still living. But John Bailey and Martha had a 6th unnamed girl child that died soon after birth. Son Willie died soon after Martha remarried.

3. Women may be listed as “At school”; other women have no occupation.

4. Sister in Law Mary E is now permanently 39 or the birth year is in error.

1. I think Margaret J Farris is actually the grandmother of Maggie. She should be listed as grandmother in law of the head of household.

2. Ocea (Osie) and Maggie have been married 0 years, she has 0 children.
