Yep, found 'em! Their enumerator needed a penmanship course! I guess I
shouldn't talk...my g grandfather enumerated the 1900 Faulkner Co, AR
Census...pretty hard to read...and he got the number of his OWN kids wrong!
I was searching for an extra kid! grrrrr. LOL

It looks like they were married about 1911.Both Nan's parents were born in
Mississippi.

I'll keep this info, and the next time I'm in Jackson, MS going through the
archives for my own familly, I'll see if I can't find something on yours as
well. I hate brick walls...but I love busting through them...even if they
aren't my own!
