Census Notes for Daniel E. & Josephine (Family)
I cannot find this family in the 1870 census. They were probably already married, since Josephine does not appear with her parents.
1880 census of Fleming Co., Ky, Flemingsburg precinct, enumerated 1 June, lists on p. 2 as family #12:
Cox, Daniel, 33, farmer; Josephine, 25, wife; E. William, 8, son; F. Eliza, 2. All born Ky Ky Ky.
This census taker consistently puts middle initials before first names. The relationship field for Eliza is blank.
1900 census of Nicholas Co., Ky, Buzzard Roost precinct, enumerated 8 June, lists on p. 3B as family #56/57:
Cox, Daniel, 53, b. Mar 1847, farmer; Josaphine, wife, 43, b. Dec 1856, married 33 years, mother of 10 children, 6 living; Avery, son, 14, b. Aug 1885; Sidney, son, 11, b. May 1889. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Josephine’s reported age and birith date are off by three years, but even so the number of years married is probably wrong, since it would mean that she was married at age 13.
1910 census of Nicholas Co., Ky, enumerated 26 April, lists on p. 8B as family #169:
Cox, Daniel E., 65, farmer; Josephine, 55, first marriage for both, married 30 years, mother of 7 children, 6 living; Sidney, son, 21, single.
:
1920 census of Nicholas Co., Ky, district 5, enumerated 16 Jan, lists on p. 4B as family #83:
Cox, D. B., 62, farm laborer; Josephine, wife, 56; Sidney, son, 29, single, farm laborer. All born Ky Ky Ky.
Sidney is probably really divorced, since his draft registration card reported him with a wife and 2 children in 1917.
