• The 1920 and 1930 censuses report a chidl of May Colbert (Johnson, Schuster) named Phipps.
  
  In1920, there was a younger child named Johnson, a daughter with an uncertain first name.  This Johnson daughter was 6 years old.  But in 1910, May Johnson was a widow.  this daughter was born about 3 years afte the death of Bill Johnson. The enumerator in 1920 got confused over the surnames of the chilren, but this was clarified in 1930, gving us the name of the younger daughter as Phipps, reported as the fist name in 1920.
