Census Notes for John Sanford & Bessie (Family)
1930 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Dry Creek precinct, enumerated Apr 18, lists on p. 7A as family #117:
Jones, John, 27, age at first marriage 19, b. Ky/Ky/Va; Bessie, wife, 26, age at first marriage 18; Amanda, dau, 6; Wilson, son, 4 2/12; Linden, son, 2 8/12; Edith, dau, 1 1/12. All born Kentucky except John’s mother.
Wilson must be the son whose birth is indexed as Wilford E., Linden must be the son whose birth is listed as William G. and whose death was recorded as William Glendon, and Edith must be the daughter whose birth was indexed as Juanita. (Ethel Jones daughter Joyce Swim says that none of the daughters had middle names, though, so rather than being named Juanita Edith, it is possible that the census taker misheard Juanita as Edith.)
