Annette, Thanks so much for transcribing the 1900 census of Red River County. I have been lucky finding in fairly short time information on my family. One of the best is my Grandmother Watson. (Mae Watson, wife of Rev James Elzie Watson) I knew she was a Manning and I knew her parents were buried at Evergreen at Paris in Lamar County. I had been told (jokingly) that Mae was a city girl. I see in the census that her family lived in Red River County in 1900. Mae was only 11 years old, she is listed as Odie M. In the back of my head somewhere was the name Odie. My main pleasure is reading below her name "Wiley R" 9 years old. (a brother). I have several pictures of Wiley, but it did not have his last name. He was in in WW I uniform and later in a police uniform. I had thought maybe he was a Blassingame and a brother-in-law, or maybe even a Watson. I am very pleased to learn Wiley is Wiley Manning, a brother to my grandmother. Mae's father was James J Manning. Mae named her youngest son J.J. Watson for her father. I have spoke of my Uncle J.J. He is now in Clarksville Nursing Home. He has had the mind of a 8 year old since he was 8 and had rheumatic fever. By the way, they are in Pct 7 in house #156/170. I also found my grandfather's uncle, Francis Marion Giddens. They both have the exact same name. It is very neat to see the full family names, ages, place of birth also of parents. The census is also very informative in showing the # of children and # living children. I also enjoy seeing who there neighbors are. It takes some searching, but it is worth it. Thanks again Annette for your efforts. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx
