Hello everyone I apologize if anyone gets two copies of this but am sending it to both the Van Buren Co. TN & Warren Co. TN list as it involves both counties. Does anyone know if the Charles Hale in the Van Buren Co. TN 1900 Census on page 2a household # 21 is the Charles Hale, the son of Wm. P. Hale and Nancy A. Hitchcock. 1900 Van Buren Co. TN Dist # 1 Page 2A Household #21 Charles Hale head W M Sept 1874 M 2 TN TN TN Farmer Sallie Hale wife W F Feb 1878 M 2 (1 of 1 Children alive) TN TN TN Willis Hale Son W M June 1898 1 TN TN TN My Great Grandmother, Emma Frances Hale Acuff, Daughter of Wm. P. & Nancy A. Hale is living several houses away(household # 28) from the above Charles. I've never seen any indication that Charles was married or had any children. He is not listed as living in his Dad's household in the 4th Civil Dist of Warren Co. TN in 1900. One note of interest both households live near Rowland/Roland families. There is no Charles Hale in 1910 Van Buren Co. TN's 1st Dist. In 1920 Census I found the following. 1920 Warren Co.
