    In the 1900 census, Bonnie Padgett is reported as a Son and a Male.  In the 1910 census, however, the report is changed so Bonnie is now reported as a Daughter and a Female.  For a long time I could not find any further information or evidence about Bonnie Padgett to confirm which of these is correct.  In March 2010, I received a message from a descendant of a Bonnie Lynn Padgett, born 8 December 1892.

    She was hunting the family connections of this grandmother, and wrote seeking clarification of the Bonnie I had listed in my records.  The 1900 census reported Bonnie Padgett as born in December 1891.  This seemed a likely match, because I have found the 1900 census notoriously reports a year earlier or a year later than other records or family sources.  It is not uncommon further to find that within family records, the date of death on the gravestone will be one year off from public records, similarly the birth date.  The 1910 census seemed to be more likely correct, also given the age of Bonnie here at 17.
