1920 Census Dist 161, Concord Twp, Pemiscot Co., Missouri Jackson, Watson Boarder M W 26 single MO TN TN Living with family of Jalse and Nora Williams It is assumed that the birth state of his mother is an error.

1930 Census District 3, Concord, Pemiscot Co., Missouri Jackson, Watson head M W 43 M ?? MO TN MO Jackson, Lattie wife F W ?4 M 21 MO MO MO Jackson, Harold son M W 1 S MO MO MO

Watson's age is not discernable from the above census records. But from the births of his siblings, it appears that his age in the 1930 census is correct. He is already out of the family home in the 1900 Census, same County as above. Lattie's (or Lottie) age is illegible, but it couldn't have been 34. She was married at age 21 and was not married in 1920; so her age in 1930 must have been 24. So I calculate her birth date abt 1906.

In 1940 Luther Watson Jackson is found living next household to his brother Walter Edward. 1940 Census 78-4, Concord Twp., Pemiscot Co., Missouri Jackson, Watson Head M W 52 M MO Jackson, Lattie Wife F W 34 M MO Jackson, Harold son M W 11 S MO Jackson, Luther son M W 5 S MO Jackson, Dollie Mae dau F W 3 MO
