Census Notes for Jesse Daniel & Catherine (Family)
1900 census of Morgan Co., Ky, district 5, enumerated 2 June, records on p. 3A as family #34/36:
Williams, Daniel, 43, b. June 1856, farmer; Catherine, 43, wife, married 29 years, mother of 7 children, 3 living; Cantrell, Elizira, dau, 25, b. Mar 1865; Bitha, dau, 19, b. Feb 1881; Thomas, son, 9, b. Feb 1891; Clarance, son, 18, b. July 1881; Lyda, dau, 16, b. Aug 1883; William, son, 15, b. Mar 1885. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Note that it would be impossible for Bitha and Clarance to both be children of Catherine with the given birthdates. I believe that the number of years married is incorrect for this marriage, perhaps being interpreted by both parties as the number of years since their first marriage (to other spouses), and that Elzira and Bitha are children of Catherine by a previous marriage to a Cantrell, Clarence, Lyda and William children of Daniel by a previous wife, and only Thomas is a child of this marriage.
1910 census of Morgan Co., Ky, Paint precinct, enumerated 23 April, lists on p. 4A as family #46/52:
