Person:Rowena Williams (3)

She is not listed with Peter and Viola Williams in the 1860 census, and it is not obvious if another census record applies to her, as there were a few records for Louisa Williams in the 1860 census, about the right age. Her brother David is listed as age 7, although he was not yet 3 - so maybe some confusion caused her name to be missed.

I notice two children born about 1878. Wayne Carter has another child born 1 Apr 1878 named Ham Perry with no indication if Ham was male or female. It wasn't until I found Roena on the 1930 census (76 yrs old, Wd) for Dist 1, Crockett Co., Tennessee with Ham living beside her that I realized H. Viola was Ham. The child Johnnie b 1874 is also not on the above census.

Ham's husbands name on the 1930 Census was Charlie P. G???? illegible.

This 1900 census has some puzzling info. Rowena is not with the family and the head of the house is a Elizer Perry who says he is Widowed. The relationship col for Elizer is written over until it is illegible, but the children are all called sons and daughters. Elizer says he has had 13 children with 11 living - the same number of children that Rowena claims in her 1910 record. Perhaps Barham Perry's middle name was Elizer; I do not know. Note too that the birth state of the father of all the children is wrong. This appears to be an enumerator error. Rowena. widowed, is found in the 1910, 1920 & 1930 census so she was not deceased by 1900.
