Life History

Notes

• "Juleyan's daughter Peggy married a Willie Smith, I believe.  Mary married Lonnie England. Minolevia 'innie' married Willie Cordell.  My records show that Minnie and Willie had two daughters, Mary and Martha.  I have Mary marrying someone named 'Clemons' and Martha marrying a 'Freeman.'"

  No 1910 census record has been found for Minnie and WIlliam.  It appears that Minnie died some time before 1920, because in the 1920 census,  No death recrod has been found.  William's wife is reported as Sarah, age 35, so born about 1884 or 1885.  The 1900 census indicates Minnie was born in 1878.
