Life History

Notes

• 1910 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 7 April, District 8, Enumeration District 111, Page 14A, Fields Terry Rd, Hse/Fam #251
  Lance, Martin Head M W 28 Married 6 yrs GA GA GA Farmer, Working Oout [b abt 1882]
  Lance, Rennie Wife F W 28 Married 6 yrs 2 Children/2 Living GA GA GA [b abt 1882]
  Lance, Delta Dau F W 4 Single GA GA GA [b abt 1906]
  Lance, Ollie Dau F W 1 Single GA GA GA [b abt 1909]
  
  In the 1920 census, the last name for this family was entered as Martin, but a family researcher tells us Martin was James Lance's middle name.
  
  "James Martin Lance rather than James Martin.  The original data on the record is incorrect."
  --  RobertThompson, Ancestry Comments, 1920 census record for James Martin
  
  1920 Federal Census, Pickens County, Georgia, 19 January, Truck Wheel District, Enumeration District 143, page 9B, Hse #165, Family #170
  Martin [Lance], James  Head Rents M W 34  GA GA GA Farmer (b abt 1885)
  Martin [Lance], Bonnie Mae Wife F W 20  GA GA GA (b abt 1899)
  Martin [Lance], Ollie Marie Dau F W 10  GA GA GA (b abt 1909)
  
  Bonnie Mae Cowart Lance was Ollie Lance Johnson's stepmother, rather than her mother.  Ollie's Social Security records report her mother's name as Rellie Moore.  We think Rellie is a nickname for Cinderella.  James and Rellie's marriage record reports that they married on 2 January 1905.  Rellie died about 1917.  No death or burial record has been found.
