Census Notes for Alford Aqua & Cordelia “Dee Dee” (Family)
1910 census of Bath Co., Ky, White Sulphur precinct, enumerated 2 May, lists on pp. 11B-12A as family #65:
Johnson, Henry, 54, farmer; Mollie C., wife, 53, first marriage for both, married 33 years, mother of 2 children, 2 living; Aqua, son, 28, second marriage; Cordelia, dau-in-law, 20, first marriage, married 0 years, mother of 0 children. All born Ky Ky Ky.
1920 census of Bath Co., Ky, Licking Union precinct, enumerated 30 March, lists on pp. 9A-9B as family #47:
Johnson, Acrer, 38, farmer, married; Cogswell, Genera, sister, 72, widowed; Cordie, wife, 30, b. Missouri Ky Ky; Ovel, dau, 8; Edie, dau, 5; Odie, dau, 2 2/12. All daughters born Ky Ky Missouri.
Genera Cogswell is not really Aqua’s sister. Her parents were John Jackson Alley and Elizabeth Cassity. So far as I know, she is no relationship at all to Aqua Johnson, but her brother James Elza Alley and sister Delilah (Alley) Ramey are listed two household before this one. Her name is on the last line of the page, which is sometimes used for “overflow” from other households; I suspect she was intended to be in the J. E. Alley household. Cordie and the girls are at the top of the next page, and should have the surname repeated if there was someone with another surname between husband and wife, but it is not.
