Notes

  • James died sometime before the 1880 census, and after the conception of his last child James Thomas in about 1876.

    1880 Federal Census, Forsyth County, Georgia, 25 June, Vickery Creek District, Enumeration District 75, page 35, Hse/Fam #242

    James' son Thomas' Social Security record reports his parents' names.

    James Thomas Jett
    Birth 9 Jul 1873 Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia
    Father James Jett
    Mother Lucinda Greene
    SSN 253305355
    Aug 1942 Name listed as JAMES THOMAS JETT

    Note the conflict between this birth date of 9 July 1873 reported by Social Security and the census report of 1880, which reported Thomas as only 4 years old and his sister Mary as age 7.

    The 1880 census above reports Lucinda as a Widow as does the 1900 censwus.  Yet there is a Fnd a Grave memorial that matches him, and is in fact attached to his profile on some genealogies.  But the date of death on that burial marker is 1929, the year after Lucinda.  So perhaps they divorced instead of his dying before the 1880 census.  Lucinda may have reproted herself Divorced, because of the approbrium attached to divorce in that era.
