Residence: 1870 Smith Co., TX Note: In 1870, Caroline is listed in the home of her married sister, Emeline and Warren Williams. Census: 1900 Cooke Co., TX Note: Martin, Corra (Indexed as on genealogy.com) Lived in: 4 Justice Precinct, Cooke County, Texas Series: T623 Microfilm: 1623 Book: 2 Page: 197 ED 35, Ancestry.com pg. 15 Caroline (Corra/Cona), and children George H., Samuel H., Maybell, John W., Virgia R., and Virdie P. Caroline is head of household (husband James is not in the home), marital status is not readable (looks like it was erased or scratched out), but reports being married for 29 years. 2 Census: 1910 Cooke Co., TX Note: Lizzie C. Martin found in: Census Microfilm Records: Texas, 1910 Age: 56 Gender: F Race: W Birthplace: FL State: Texas County: COOKE Locale: 4 J-PCT Series: T624, Roll: 1542, Part: 1, Page: 206B Precinct 4, ED 58, Ancestry.com pg. 22, census pg. 206b. Lizzie C., Vida P.?, William C. Married son, Luther, is living next door. 4 Census: 1920 Cooke Co., TX Note: Justice Precinct 4, ED 40. Ancestry.com pg. 7, census pg. 175. Lizzie C., age 65, widowed. Living in the home of her son, Charlie. 1 Change Date: 23 Nov 2004 at 22:43 Note: Caroline, in the 1880 census, reports that both parents were born in Missouri. In 1900, she reports NC for both, and in 1910 and 1920, she reports her father was born in Florida and her mother in Alabama. Aarrrggh!

In 1900, Caroline reports having had 11 children and 10 are still living. In 1910, she reports having had 11 children and 8 are still living. This doesn't quite match, though, with the addition of child Charlie born about 1900. Charlie would make the total number of children 12. He is not included in the 1900 census.
