Notes for Lucy Riddle
She is listed as age 20, born May 1880, in the 1900 census, but she was listed as age 1 year in the 1880 census, taken in June, so she was probably really born in 1879. (Although it is possible that one month was misreported as one year in 1880.)

Rowan Co. marriage register A, p. 109, records the marriage on 26 May 1897 of W. H. Morefield and Lucy Riddle.
Census
1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct, enumerated 23 June, lists on p. 19A as family #358:
Morefield, William, 25, b. Mar 1875, farmer; Lucy, wife, 20, b. May 1880; Charley, son, 2, b. Feb 1898. All born Ky Ky Ky.
1910 census of Caddo parish, Louisiana, Blanchard ward 3, enumerated 16 May, lists on p. 16B as family #332:
Morfield, W. H., 35, foreman of oil line; Lucy, wife, 30, first marriage for both, married 13 years, mother of 2 children, 2 living; Charles, son, 11; Cliff, son, 1. All born Ky Ky Ky.
(The age for Cliff may be 7 or 9 instead of 1. This is one of those images where a lot of the ink whites out.)
I cannot find this family in 1920 or 1930. (There is a William H. Morefield of the right age in Dayton, Ohio, with a wife Minnie, but comparing the list of children, that family was in Powell Co., Ky, in 1910, and the H. stands for Hayden.)
