The 1900 census does say Laura has 7 children, but it also says only 1 is living. It also says she has been married 18 years, which indicates she is still married to John Mason. She married him Oct. 18, 1878. >From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" >Sent: Mar 23, 2013 3:59 PM >To: TNUNION-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [TNUNION] Census lookup 1870 in Union County > >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Author: Nina3942 >Surnames: >Classification: queries > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties .union/2201.1/mb.ashx > >Message Board Post: > >Jack, in the 1900 census, Civil District 12, Grainger County, Laura is 39 and marital status for each child living in the house is MARRIED, Ethel being the only daughter-in law. Other children were: William A., Sallie, John M., and Daniel R. Parents listed were William and Ermine Clark. The census reports that Laura has 7 children but they are not listed in this census, so could they have stayed with her first husband? When did your Laura first marry Mr. Mason? Send me an email at kat3946429@aol.com. I am no relation to the Clark's, but was just trying to help you out. Nina > >Important Note: >The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
