Ray and Elizabeth: I found a few other items of possible interest to you in the last week. If you do not already have these pages, let me know and I will put them in the mail to you. In the San Luis Obispo County 1900 Census, San Miguel Twp., S.D. 2, E.D. 33, Sheet 5 B, I found Charles Doty, his wife Theresa A., their son Theodore C., and daughter Bessie P. Bessie's age is given as 16, and her month and year of birth as March 1884. Birthplace is listed as California. In the same township, sheet 13, I found Clarence Doty, single, age 26, born in Iowa in 1874. This appears to be Bessie's brother based on other information here regarding the birthplaces of the parents. In the Monterey County 1900 Census, San Antonio Twp., S.D. 2, E.D. 14, Sheet 6, I found the family of Job and Isabella Wood, including their children Webster, Sherman, Ila M., and Joshua. --Sheila P.
