Biography

1861 Birth

Marion was nine years old when the 1870 Census was taken, making his birth date around 1861. Although Mary (Polly) Gadberry was not alive in the 1870 Census, Andrew and Martha were married in 1863. Most likely, Mary was his mother.^[1]

1870 U.S. Federal Census

In 1870, Andrew Gadberry, age 35, was a farmer with real estate worth $1200 and personal property worth $670. On the farm also lived:

Martha Ann, age 29, who stated her occupation as keeping house

James W, age 14, whose occupation was "Labor on farm"

Mary F., age 12, whose occupation was housework

Marion W (male), age 9

Theodocia, age 5

Armilda (female), age 3

Margaret, age 1 (listed on the page after the rest of the family)

James, Mary, and Marion had attended school the year before. James and Mary could read but not write. Reading and writing abilities were not checked off for any other family members, so we don't know one way or the other.^[2] Andrew and Martha were married in 1863. Marion was born the year before, so would be Polly's child. Theodocia would have been the first of Andrew and Martha's children. That tells us that Polly died between 1861 and 1863.
