Minnie married Milton Franklin Leroy (shown as M F L Leroy) July 25, 1921 in Dale County, Alabama, United States^[7] and they had at least three children (see Notes).

In 1930, the family's last name was incorrectly shown as Le Roy. Milton (age 40) and Minnie (age 33) paid $25 per month rent for their home at 2 216 South Bainbridge Street in Montgomery, Montgomery, Alabama, United States. They lived there with children Dora (age 8), Ester (shown as Florence, age 4), and Milton Rudolph (shown as Rudolph, age 2). Milton's sister Willie (age 32) also lived with the family. Milton was employed by an auto company as a machinist.^[8]

In 1940, Milton (age 50) and Minnie (age 43) valued their home on Main Street or Bee Line Highway in Dale County, Alabama, United States at $400. They lived there with children Dora (age 17), Ester (shown as E Florine, age 14), and Milton Rudolph (shown as Rondolph, age 14). Minnie's mother Bettie Paulk (age 63) also lived with the family.
