Hi Rita, Union Co has alot of census pages online now with more to come. I find it interesting that the 1900 census has Jeremiah's father born in VA. Also notice one of his grands Rubie, d/o William, was born in Indian Terr. in 1894. And, I don't notice that William doesn't have a wife with the family. I wander why William would have been in Indian Terr? Maybe his wife was of native origins. Just little interesting tid bits.
