Here is the 1910 and 1920 census for her; 1910 Breathitt Co. Ky Census - 16 May 1910 Elliottsville Precinct, E.D. 15, p.186B, h.h.

Ky Census - 26 Jan 1920 Mag Dist 8, Elliottsville, E.D. 56, p. 273A, h.h. 202/202; STACY, Simon, head, w, m, 32, m, Ky; Bithania, wife, w, f, 28, m, Ky; John M., son, w, m, 12, s, Ky; Lucinda, dau, w, f, 10, s, Ky; Sarah, dau, w, f, 8, s, Ky; David, son, w, m, 5, s, Ky; Andy, son, w, m, 1, s, Ky; RUSSELL, Ridibe, S-in-Law, w, f, 16, s, Ky.

Has anyone else found ANY of the sons of David & Lucinda in 1920? Their daughter Rilda age 16 is living with Simon & Bethany but I can't find anyone else. David & Lucinda could have died and Bethany is raising Rilda. Did John, Cornelius, & Harlis maybe go away to work??? I have Heritage Quest and can't find anything on it. Of course, there are a few pages of each census that were just impossible to read but surely they wouldn't all three be missing. Anyone know if John & Cornelius married? All of the Stacys were in Knott County in 1900 but I don't find any Russells there in 1920. This is quite a puzzle.

Don't know if this helps anyone but Cornelius Russel was my grandfather. He married Maggie Clemons. Sue Schab
