Census Notes for Stephen M. & Elizabeth (Family)
1900 census of Powell Co., Ky, enumerated 13 June, lists on p. 14A as family #235/238:
Brewer, Steve, 44, b. July 1855, farmer; Elithebeth, wife, 37 corrected to 36, b. Nov 1863; Milard, son, 17 corrected to 16, b. Dec 1883; Jeff, son, 13, b. Mar 1887; Jerry, son, 9 corrected to 8, b.

The preceding household is headed by Green Brewer, age 40 corrected to 39, b. Nov 1860, a probable brother.
This whole precinct has ages in ink that are usually too high by one year when the birthdate is in the latter part of the year, and corrections in pencil to be consistent with the reported birthdate, as if the ages were reconciled at the same time the statistical annotations about family size were made. However, it may well be the case that in many families the ages were actually the correct part, and the birth year what should have been corrected.
