Biography

1880 --- Tuscaloosa Co., AL. U. S. Census. In her husband's house. 30 years old.

1900 --- Fayette Co., AL. U. S. Census. In her husband's house. 49 years old.

1910 --- Tuscaloosa Co., AL. U. S. Census. In her husband's house. 59 years old.

1920 --- Tuscaloosa Co., AL. U. S. Census. In her husband's house. 65 years old.

1930 --- Tuscaloosa Co., AL. U. S. Census. In the house of her son, Thomas with her husband. 79 years old.

Selena claimed she had borne 9 children, 7 living in 1900. In 1910, she claimed 10 children borne, 6 living. Jan Dawson's database adds a Mary Ella Waldrop, b. 21 Mar 1882 in Fayette Co., AL, d. 21 Oct 1897 in Fayette Co., AL. Jan Dawson calls the William, 5 years old in 1880 Willie Hestella, b. 18 Sep 1875 in Fayette Co., AL, d. 1957 in Millport, AL; m. Robert C. Waldrop, no info on him. Jan Dawson's database adds a Mannon Rufus "Bud" Waldrop, b. 17 Oct 1874, d. OK. Says he never married, died in Indian Territory. - I think Jan's informant got Harvey Manning, son of Newton confused here. Harvey died in OK in 1955. He wasn't married when he died, but had been married. His wife left him. Last, Jan has a Thomas Ezekiel Waldrop, b. 4 Mar 1864 in Fayette Co., AL, d. 27 Jan 1957; m. (1) Della Shirley, b. 1884, d. 1909. Had daughter Nannie Lee, b. and d. 1909; m. (2) Sara Lou Etta Dunn, b. 23 Feb 1870, d. 23 Jun 1972 in Luxore, AR. 9 children with downline information on all but one. I don't know who this Thomas Ezekiel was, but doubt it was William Silas's child. William was 14 when he was born.
