It was in Grayson Co., and it was the correct age for John based on his age in the 1930 census, so I had assumed it was the right one even though Henry was not among the children listed. (Sometimes they miss listing a child for one reason or another.) Now that I know I have the wrong family, I have search my brains out trying to find the right one in 1920, but have come up empty. Do you have any idea where John & Mabel were living in 1920? I even search West Virginia, since Henry was born there, but no dice. I'm thinking either their name is royally botched on the census or else the census taker missed them entirely. Sue Dotson [email protected]

Sue, I'll have to see if I can get in touch with someone in ex inlaws. My ex bro.in law was the one who gave me what info I had and he obtained it at a family reunion about two years ago. It might take me a while,o.k.?
