Lillie May's birth record reports her birth as 23 September 1886 inSpencer County, Indiana. The 1910 census in Warrick County, Indiana,recorded in April before her November marriage, reports her as age 23,matching birth in 1886. This also matches the census of 1900, whichgives the birth date as September 1886. On the marriage license,however, her age is given as 26, which is 3 years greater than herreported age 7 months earlier. Her age was either mis-transcribed,she gave the wrong age, or for some other reason the wrong age waswritten down by a clerk.

I have found no record of Lillie's parents other than their names onher birth record. In 1900, Lillie is 13, in Spencer County, Indiana,the county of her birth. She is working as a servant in a privatehome of an elderly couple named Powers. In 1910, she is in WarrickCounty, Indiana, again working as a servant in a private house. Sheis reported as age 23, and serving in the large household of Uriah andElizabeth Byers and their widowed son and his three children.

The 1910 census was taken in April, and she and Travis Dancy marriedin November in the same county.
