This will take some careful review. The parents names are correct, the age for Mary is exactly correct, I did not have a date for Henry,

Problems, she states born in Alabama, should be MS or SC. But at that time her mother and two of her sisters are in Altoona, Alabama visiting her grandfather's family. So even if she knew where she was born she may have associated with Alabama and her grandparents.

She states she has been married for 10 years and is 33 now, so it is easy to belive that this is her first marriage. She states 6 born and 5 now living. There are 5 that are under age 10.

It will be good to have additional proof, but this is a very good base, marriage and 1900 census records. I will continue to look using this as the base.

No doubt that this is Bessie b. March 1886, and the age for Bell would be close to the age for Hattie, born Feb 1887. Also there is room for another daughter not listed in 1900. She could have been living wih her mother or some one else. But the name Bell seems to be aka, except that she named her daughter Bell also. Bell would have been 16 in 1900 and couuld have been married then, but this 1910 census says that she has been married only once and has one child born and one living, so that would mean only the 4 year old Bell is theirs. The others are his by a previous wife.

This is a good starting point but needs some mote supporting data.
