Fed. Census Dwelling 173-173 CHADWELL, Floyd, head, 29, mar. 1, mar. 8 yrs, b. KY; father b. TN; mother b. Ky . .Jane, wife, 26, mar. 1, mar. 8 yrs, 6 bo . 6 living, b. KY; parents b. KY * * * . .Aura, dau, 7, b. KY . .Virdie, dau, 6, b. KY . .Anna, dau, 5, b. KY . .Bertha, dau, 3, b. KY . .Mollie, dau, 2, b. KY . .Charlie, son, 10 months, b. KY LEDFORD, Polly, sister-in-law, 29, single, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Hiram, brother-in-law, 18, single, b. KY; parents b. KY 1900 Leslie Co., KY Dwelling 084 - Hyden ASHER, Timothy, head, 35, mar. 11 yrs, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Robert, 24, boarder, 24, single, b. KY . .Mary, 19, dau, . Susan, 24, wife, mar. 11 yrs, 5 born; 2 living, b. KY . Mary, 19, dau, b. 1881, b. KY (must have come from an earlier marriage of Timothy) . .Cordelia, 9, dau, b. 1891, b. KY . .Henry, 6,son, b. 1894, b. KY LEDFORD, Polly, 21, boarder, b. apr 1879, b. KY * * * . .NOTE: Therefore, it would appear that this Jane on the 1910 was a LEDFORD and that Polly and Hiram are her siblings. And, there is the possibility that as of the 1900 in Leslie Co., this Polly was the same Polly as in the 1910. So, most likely we had parents who died, a mother who was not married or something like that. There is some reason they are scattered around. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA p.s. If you could locate a marriage record for Jane, it might indicate her parents. Have you ordered the death cert for Hiram to see what it indicates? Floyd CHADWELL appears to be b. in Clay Co. He shows up as a l yr old in the home of an Alexander CHADWELL as of the 1880. On the 1900 Leslie Co. Fed. census, there is this listing which "might" be a clue: Dwelling 084 - Hyden ASHER, Timothy, head, 35, mar. 11 yrs, b. KY; parents b. KY . .Robert, 24, boarder, 24, single, b. KY . .Mary, 19, dau, Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
