Misc. Notes
1900 census says he has been married 38 years but Julia only 33. [470]

William may have had a sister whose married name was Mary A. HALL, who was living with William in 1910 and listed as a widow. Actually, the census record lists her as “Wife’s sister” but “Wife’s” is crossed out. The notation is definitely confused. [2046]
