Susan, I read that census not long ago and it was not Barbara on there. It was Balzora. Amelia and Permelia is a name that was used inter- changeably on the census and elsewhere a lot. Especially on the southern names. Milford was only married the one time. Did you record that all the family was born in Kentucky, with the exception of the last one? Also you have to remember all children up to Balzora were born before 1880. There is no 1890 census so we have to rely on the 1900 one. Balzora was the only child bn before 1880 who moved to Texas with them. All the rest were bn after 1880 and before 1900. I would say they made the move in 1893/94 as Julia is bn Oct 1895 in Williamson Co.,Tx.Would have to read probate records to find out for sure.
