Her gravestone says “Sarah E. Perry, May 25, 1849 - April 9, 1920, At Rest”, but I cannot find her in the Kentucky death records.

1880 census of Morgan Co., Ky, district 87, enumerated in June, lists on p. 17 as family #138:
Perry, Anderson, 31, farmer; Sarah, 31, wife; Martha, 11, dau; John E., 10 son; Grant, 7, son; Jesse F., 5, son; Mary, 3, dau; Willis G., 1, son. All born Ky Ky Ky.

1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Farmers precinct, enumerated 29 June, lists on p. 26A as family #460/467:
Perry, Anderson W., 51, b. Feb 1849, day laborer; Sarah E., wife, 51, b. May 1849; William S., son, 17, b. July 1882; Nannie A., dau, 13, b. Nov 1886; Sarah D., dau, 10, b. Oct 1889. All born Ky Ky Ky.

1910 census of Morgan Co., Ky, North Fork precinct, enumerated 22 April, lists on p. 3B:
Perry, Bob, 61, farmer; Sara, wife, 60, first marriage for both, married 42 years, mother of 11 children, 7 living; Campbell, Myrtle, grandchild, 9. All born Ky Ky Ky.

Bob is recorded as a head of household, but they do not have any household or family number on their line. The preceding household, numbered 32/32, is the family of Bob and Sarah’s son Grant with his wife Betty and 7 children. The family after Bob and Sara (Charles and Lula Tackett) is numbered 33/33. Properly, if Bob and Sarah were living in the same house as their son Grant, they should either have been recorded as his mother and father, if unnumbered, with Myrtle as Grant’s niece, or if Bob was recorded as head of household they should have been numbered 32/33. If not in the same house, they should have been numbered 33/33. Since none of those is the case, it is unclear whether Grant’s parents were living with him or not, but probably they were.

Myrtle is the daughter of Martha Perry and William Campbell. Martha died in 1905 and William in 1909.

1920 census of Morgan Co., Ky, North Fork precinct, enumerated 19 Jan, lists on p. 13B as family #222/227:

I have not found Anderson William Robert “Bob” Perry in 1930, under any of his assortment of names.
