Census Notes for Walter “Watt” A. & Nancy “Nannie” M. (Family)
1900 census of Montgomery Co., Ky, district 2, enumerated 5 June, lists on p. 5A as family #80/81:
McCluer, Wat, 42, b. Mar 1858, farm laborer; Nanna, wife, 32, b. Sep 1867, married 3 years, mother of 1 child, 1 living; Lilian, dau, 9/12, b. Sep 1899; Thomes, Liceal, boarder, 11, b. Nov 1899 (f). All born Ky Ky Ky.
This is the family of Walter A. McClure and Nannie Thomas. Although this is Walter’s second marriage, Lucille is unlikely to be his daughter, because her surname is given as Thomas. She is also unlikely to have been born out-of-wedlock to Nannie, since Nannie is listed as the mother of only one child so far, which would be Lillian. (Also, Lucille’s relationship is not recorded as stepdaughter.) She is probably a niece or some other relative of Nannie’s. On the other hand, in 1910 Nannie was listed as the mother of 4 living children, see below, and if Lucille is not one of them, the fourth is unaccounted for.
1910 census of Montgomery Co., Ky, Mt. Sterling ward 4, enumerated 22 April, lists on p. 6A as family #118/139, on Sycamore St:

Note that the child recorded as a daughter Georgia F. in 1910 is now a son George.
