Notes

  • 1880 Federal Census, Brazos County, Texas, 8 June, District 2/16, page14B, Hse/Fam #131

    Thomas, Lusy J  W F 25  Wife Keeping House TX AL AL
    Thomas, Ada  W M 1  Dau TX Prussia TX

    In this census, Ada is reported as only 1 year old.  But an exactbirth date from family sources says she was born 28 June 1877.  Thatwould mean she was 3 years old at the time of the census (or less thana month before her 3rd birthday).  It is hard to imagine how parentscould have mistaken a 3-year-old for a 1-year old!  Or the enumeratoreither.

    The Texas Death Certificate provides considerable additional detailover what I had found earlier.
