Census Notes for John S. & Lena (Family)
1900 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville precinct, enumerated 4 June, lists on p. 3B as family #58:
Cragg, John, 34, b. Sep 1868, farmer; Lena, wife, 25, b. Dec 1876, married 11 years, mother of 2 children, 1 living; Henry, son, 9, b. May 1891. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Note the inconsistency in Lena’s reported age and birthdate - a birthdate of Dec 1876 would imply an age of 23.
The next household is that of Lena’s parents, and their household includes a granddaughter Lillie Cragg, age 10, born Aug 1889. I believe this to be John and Lena’s daughter, with the number of living children being recorded incorrectly due to only one of their children being in their own household.
