Census Notes for Pilate & Martha Belle (Family)
1900 census of Morgan Co., Ky, 5th magisterial district, enumerated 4 June, lists on p. 4A as family #54:
Fyffe, Pilate, 24, b. Dec 1875, Ky Ky Va; Belle, wife, 29, b. Dec 1870, Ky Ky Ky, married 9 years, mother of 4 children, 3 living; Lithley, dau, 11*, b. Mar 1889; Willie, son, 11*, b. Mar 1889, both born Ky Ky Ky.
The age on the twins was entered as 2 in pen, which was then stricken out and overwritten with 11 in pencil. The digits in their year of birth apparently got transposed (it should be 1898 instead of 1889), and the person doing the consistency check over the census corrected it in the wrong way.
