    In 1910, Andrew and Rosa were farming in Burleson County, Texas.  In this census, we discover that Andrew was married before.  Nelia (Cornelia) here appears to be the first child of this marriage.  During the twelve years of their marriage, Rosa has lost two children to death.

    In the 1920 census, I found Andrew and his wife Rosie with their children in Brown County, Texas.

    I have not found the 1930 census record for Andrew and Rosie.

    1940 Federal Census, Val Verde County, Texas, 19 April, Justice Precinct 1, District 233-7, page 16A, Del Rio, Hse #246, Rents

    A Texas Death Index entry appearing to be for this Andrew Adley reports he died in 1947 and provides his full name.

    Texas Death Index, 1903-2000
    Certificate #88349
    Andrew Jackson Adley
    Death 2 Dec 1947 Milam County

    This identity was confirmed when I found one genealogy that had this death information and had posted a copy of Andrew's death certificate.

    Texas Death Certificate
    Andrew Jackson Adley
    Residence Rt 1, Buckholts, Sharp Precinct (No 5)
    Residence here 6 months before death
    Birth Sept 7 (?), 1857 Texas
    Name and birth place of parents unknown
    Death Dec 2, 1947
    Cause of Death Cerebral Hemorrhage
    Informant Lee Adley
    Burial 3 Dec 1947 Sharp Cemetery, Sharp, Milam, Texas
    Filed Buckholts, Texas (no date)

    One problem I find here is that the birth date reported by his son Lee is in 1857.  Andrew's age in the censuses of 1910 and 1920 would place his birth about 1863-65, 6-8 years later than when Lee reports his father was born.  There seems no doubt we are talking about the same Andrew Adley, but this is a large discrepancy.  I can only figure that Lee had the wrong date in mind.  Note that Lee did not have any information about Andrew's parents either.

    The birth day is unclear and might be a 2.  The year is clear, 1857.
