I don't think I see these folks in DeKalb but here is one census record. It's possible that the censustaker or the person who gave the info or both had been drinking. The only reason I give it to you as a possibility is that Ophelia is about the correct age and in looking at the 1880 census I don't see another Ophelia Martin that is the same age and race as this one. Check out the names of the parents - quite a coincidence but their ages are way off. 1900 DeKalb Co, TN, dist 5, ED 45, sht 2B (all birthplaces Tenn except as noted) Martha?

Ah, well. We all need a nip now and then. I don't believe these are mine though. No pink elephants in the list!
