Census Notes for John H. & Nancy D. (Family)
1900 census of Elliott Co., Ky, Newcomb precinct, enumerated 2 June, lists on p. 2A as household #20, lines 13 to 27:
Hay, John H., 41, b. June 1858, Ky Va Ky, farmer; Nancy D., wife, 39, b. May 1861, Ky Va Va, married 22 years, mother of 10 children, 9 living; William P., son, 16, b. Dec 1883; Drura G., son, 13, b. June 1886; Rufus H., son, 11, b. Nov 1888; Minnie E., dau, 9, b. Apr 1891; Jaley N., dau, 6, b. May 1894; Gretta F., dau, 2, b. Feb 1898; Walter S., son, 0/12, b. May 1900. All children born Ky Ky Ky.
Plus, with the relationship recorded as “inmate”: Osborn, Jesse, 62, b. Oct 1837, widowed, b. Ky Va Ky; Stephens, James, 13, b. May 1887; Adkins, Elizabeth, 7, b. May 1893; Adkins, Candace, 5, b. Apr 1895; Adkins, Abigail, 3, b. Nov 1896; Adkins, Henry, 4, b. Apr 1896.
At the top of the page it says that lines 13 through 27 inclusive are the County Poor House, but it appears that the “poorhouse” consists of only 5 children and one adult being boarded at a private farm. In modern parlance we would consider this to be a family that participated in fostering wards of the county.
