Notes:
                   CHILDREN:
    1900 Census, taken on the 9th of July, lists 7 children born to this couple, with only 4 children living.  The 1910 Census still lists only 7 children born to this couple, with 4 still living.  Family records show three unnamed children, all born on the 11th of July, in 1882, 1897, and 1900.  The 1900 listing is obviously incorrect, or the number of children would have been one higher on the 1910 census.  Also, either the 1882 or 1897 is incorrect, but we are not able to determine which.  The earlier date for this unnamed child will be kept, and the other two erroneous entries will be deleted.  Further research may be able to clarify in which year this unnamed child was truly born.
