I thought it might be the right family if there was an error made by the enumerator on the name of John W., age 13 on the census record, looks like 15 to me on the actual census. Also, it's Mary E. C. Parham, not Reavis, enumerated with Henry P. Oliver. The name Parham is another reason I thought it might be the right family, but again, only a possibility. The census says she lives at house #482 which is Stephen H. Morris. He has Edgar Parham, grandson, age 8, listed in his household. I just found a John P. Oliver, age 53, on the 1880 in Weakley. This is another possibility, but I can't get the image to come up on Ancestry. I don't descend from the Olivers, so I haven't gone into depth on research for them.
