Census Notes for Anderson “Anse” & Sarah J. (Family)
1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Farmers precinct, enumerated 27 April, lists on pp. 9A-9B as family #153/160:
Bailey, Anderson, 23, b. WVa WVa WVa, tenant farmer; Sarah, wife, 25, married 3 years, mother of 1 child, 1 living, b. WVa WVa WVa; Hobart, son, 1 8/12, b. Ky WVa WVa.
I cannot find this family in the 1920 census. It is likely that they were living in Menifee Co and just missed by the census, since there are births reported for children in Menifee in 1919 and 1922.
