Census Notes for Ulysses S. Grant & Ella (Family)
1900 census of Bath Co., Ky, Wyoming precinct, enumerated 18 June, lists on p. 12B as family #241:
Lynum, U. G., 31, b. Oct 1868, farmer; Elen, wife, 22, b. Jan 1878, married 11 years, mother of 5 children, 5 living; Stella, dau, 10, b. Sep 1889; Johny, son, 7, b. June 1892; Lizey, dau, 5, b. Nov 1894; Hanna, dau, 4, b. Jan 1896; Linia F., dau, 1, b. Apr 1899. All born Ky Ky Ky.
The data for Elen does not make sense, since it would imply she was married at age 11.
1910 census of Bath Co., Ky, Bethel precinct, enumerated 21 April, lists on p. 3B as family #43/44:
Lynan, Grant, 44, farmer; Ella, wife, 42, first marriage for both, married 21 years, mother of 9 children, 5 living; Stella, dau, 20; Johnnie, son, 18; Mary H., dau, 15; Henry H., son, 10; Jennie B., dau, 5. All born Ky Ky Ky.
1920 census of Bath Co., Ky, Bethel precinct, enumerated 7 Jan, lists on p. 3B as family #72/76:
Lynm, Grant U., 51; Ella, wife, 48; Henry, son, 18; Jennie B., dau, 13; Lea (?), grandson, 8. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Ancestry.com has transcribed the grandson’s name as Ira. It looked to me like Lea or Len. The only possibly Lynam males born in Bath Co who would be 8 or so in Jan 1920 that I can find in the Kentucky birth index are recorded as Charles T. Lyman born 3 Nov 1911, mother’s maiden name Stella Lyman, Robert Lynns born 25 Sep 1911, mother’s maiden name Hattie More, and Seth C. Lynus, born 20 Dec 1911, mother’s maiden name Conie Rawlins. None look like a match for Ira, Lea or Len.
1930 census of Nicholas Co., Ky, district 3, enumerated 14 April, lists on p. 6A as family #123/124:

1940 census of Bath Co., Ky, 72, farmer; Ella, wife, 68; Henry, son, 39; Harley, son, 14. All born in Kentucky, all living in rural Bath Co., Ky in 1935.
