You posted: Alice Lamb, 30, f, Wife, born June 1867, married 7 yrs, children: 1 total, 1 living, IN, IN, IN Edna Lamb, 7, f, Daughter, born Jul 1893, IN, IN, IN 1910 Greene County, IN: Census date: April 15, 1910; Enumeration date: April 16, 1910 Series T624, Roll 352, Page 76A, Dwelling 30, Family 31, Jackson Twp., East Precinct, ED 32, Lines 7-11 Calvin G. Lamb, 78, m, Head, married 56 yrs, Farmer, NC, NC, NC Martha A. Lamb, 77, f, Wife, married 56 yrs, children: 4 total, 4 living, KY, VA, NC Elmer E. Lamb, 44, m, Son, widowed, IN, NC, KY Epsy M. Lamb, 20, f, Granddaughter, single, IN, IN, IN Edna E. Lamb, 16, f, Granddaughter, single, IN, IN, IN The way I read this info (please correct me if I'm wrong) Alice Lamb (the first wife of Elmer) had only 1 child and she was Edna in the 1900 Census. In 1910, Alice has died and left Elmer with Edna (16) but who is 20 year old Epsy? Simply looking at it at face value, one would assume she was Elmer's 2nd daughter, but if so, where was she on the 1900 Census? I could use a little help identifying Epsy. Could she be a daughter of Hiram? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
