George and Mary continue to reside in Pike County. Enumerated in the 1900 census,  unique information is given not found in previous census such as  birthdates, years married, person's home rented mortgage or owned, and did they live on a farm or house. Mary and her parents were listed born in Mississippi. From the census record George  and Mary were married 55 years owned a farm. They had 13 children and 9 where still alive.

In the 1910 census, there are some discrepancies in information from the previous censuses. George and Mary's ages and years married are different. Mary enumerated born in Mississippi and parents were born in Maryland. George enumerated born in Mississippi and mother born in Maryland.  Mary had 10 children and 9 were alive. Courtney according to this census was born in 1872. From the  1878 and 1885 Pike County school censuses 1870, and 1871 respectively she was born. I was unable to locate Courtney in the 1900 census.
