Census Notes for Lawrence Pierce & Gladys Mae (Family)
1940 census of Menifee Co., Ky, Scranton, ED 83-4, enumerated 26 April, lists on p. 11A as family #153:
Sorrell, William F., 70; Martha, wife, 44; Dwight, son, 20; Carl, son, 17; Ada, dau, 15; Garwood, son, 12; Garlan, son, 10; Anna, dau, 6; Irene, dau, 1; Whitt, Glayds, granddau, 24, widowed; Williams, Joyice, granddau, 7; Kenneth, grandson, 6. All born in Kentucky, the Sorrells living in same house in 1935, the others in same place but not same house.
It is very probable that Gladys Whitt is really William’s daughter rather than his granddaughter. The age fits, and it is unlikely that her two children would be living with her parents when she was not.
