Census
1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Hoggtown precinct, lists as family #197:
McBrayer, John M., farmer, 27, b. Mar 1873, married 9 years; Annie, wife, 22, b. 1877, married 9 years; Charles H., son, 7, b. Jan 1893; Matt C., son, 5, b. Mar 1895; Hobart, son, 3, b. Jan 1897; Hiram, son, 1, b. May 1899; Day, Maudy B., 12, boarder, b. June 1887. All born Ky Ky Ky.
(Maudy Day was Annie’s sister, so she should have been listed as a sister-in-law.)
1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Hoggtown precinct, enumerated 30 May, lists on p. 13B as family #219/220:
McBrayer, John M., 37; Hattie, wife, 41; Charles H., son, 17; Mat C., son, 15; Hobert A., son, 13; Hiram, son, 11; Isaac, son, 8. All born Ky Ky Ky.
It is recorded as a first marriage for both, married 19 years, and Hattie is recorded as the mother of 4 children. That is inconsistent with other records, though, including the 1930 census, so I suspect that they had been married less than a year.
