Today I sourced the census data for the John M. Johnson family in the 1900-1920 census of Madison Co., IN. John & his family lived in Richland township. John married Martha Pierce, my maternal 2nd great grandaunt.
The 1900 census records that Martha was the mother of 6 children, only 5 who were living. I have yet to identify the 6th child. John was a farmer, and by the 1920 census, only their youngest son John was living with them, helping to run the farm. I have not yet tracked down all of the children in the census records.

Samuel Ivey Family - Marshall Co., KY & Lawrence Co., AR
Today I sourced the census data in the 1910 & 1920 census for Eileen's great-grandfather, Samuel Ivey. In 1910 the family is living in Marshall Co., KY and in 1920 they are across the Mississippi in Lawrence Co., AR. The last name is spelled Ivey in 1910 and Ivy in the 1920 record.
Samuel was a farmer in both census records - he and wife Emma Carter were married around 1896, probably in Kentucky. There is a tradition in Eileen's family of Cherokee Indian blood from this family line. The places of birth seem to indicate at least a possibility. In 1910, Samuel was born in Kentucky with his father born in Tennessee and mother born in Kentucky. By 1920, Samuel was born in Arkansas with his father born in Florida and mother born in Alabama. Likewise, in 1910 Emma was born in Arkansas with her father born in the United States and mother born in Kentucky. By 1920, Emma was born in Alabama with her father born in Alabama and mother born in Tennessee.

Today I sourced the census data for the Harvey A. Huey family in the 1900-1920 census through three states - Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Minister, and was married to my paternal 2nd-great grandaunt Mary A. Metzner.
Harvey and Mary appear in the 1900 census in Fon Du Lac Co., WI, the 1910 census in Noble Co., IN, and in the 1920 census in Genesee Co., MI. They had no children; and in the 1900 census, Mary's mother, Catherine (Young) Metzner is living with the family.
In each census, they are renting their homes. As of yet, I do not know what happened to them after the 1920 census.
