The 1900 Census listing has very poor handwriting and spelling, and the family was listed with the last name of Seidford in Milburn, Carlisle County, Kentucky. Edmond is listed as Edward. Only Guy and Aubrey are still living with their parents. Jefferson and his family were living next door, but his wife's name is given as Lizzie.[1]
