In regards to the Lewey Carlock (44) on the 1930 census. I found what appears to be him in 1910 and 1920. In 1910, he is living in the household of Thomas Barker in Audubon TWP, Montgomery County. He is 24 yrs. old and listed as a son-in-law. He is married to Maybel, age 21, born in Arkansas. In 1920 Lewis and Mabel are living in separate households but their marital status is M. Neither of them has children living with them. If Carl, Claude, and Pauline are children of these 2 they are no where to be found on the 1920 census. I searched by name, age, county, grandparents, the works. No children anywhere. Louie is living in Hillsboro, MC. He is working as a teamster and living in the household of Bert McCaslin. Mabel is living in Witt, MC. She is working as a servant in the household of Frank Waharick. Is it possible that the children on the 1930 census are actually children of what appears to be Lewis's 2nd wife--Clara? I went and looked at the actually census info and all the children have Illinois as their mother's place of birth. Mabel Barker has Arkansas listed as her place of birth on the 1910 and 1920 census. Lewey also has that he was a WWI veteran. If memory serves me, WWI was in full swing when Carl (1916) and Claude (1918) were born. I have a feeling that Lewis went off to war and when he returned, he and Mabel split up. That is why they are not living in the same household in 1920. By 1930, Lewis had remarried to Clara. I would say their first child together was Dale in 1925 and then Donald in 1928. This is all conjecture but there is no Claude Carlock on the 1920 census. Lewis and Mabel are not living together in 1920 and neither has children with them. It could be proven by locating birth and marriage records for Claude J. if it's really that important. If he is Clara's son by a previous marriage, his real father would be listed on either of those records. Lynne
