Census Notes for Lynn Boyd & Lydia Margaret (Family)
1900 census of Menifee Co., Ky, district #5, enumerated 6 June, lists on p. 5B as family #73 (right after his parents):
Wells, Lynn B., 19, farmer, b. Apr 1881; Lyda, wife, 16, b. Sept 1884, married 1 year, mother of 1 child, 1 living; Laura A., dau, 10/12, b. Aug 1899. All born Ky/Ky/Ky.
Note that there is a discrepancy between the reported birthdate and age of Lyda. If she was really born in Sept 1884, then she would have been still 15 at the time of this census, and only 14 when Laura was born. Possible, but more likely that the reported age is correct and the birth year wrong. So I am entering it into my database as 1883.
1910 census of Menifee Co., Ky, Pomeroyton precinct, enumerated 25 May, lists on p. 10A as family #171:
Wells, Lin B., 30, farmer; Lida, wife, 27, married 11 years, mother of 5 children, 4 living; Laura, dau, 9; Estil, son, 8; Everett, son, 3; Lucie, dau, 1 11/12; Vin C., son, 16. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Either the age or the relationship for Vin is probably entered wrong.
