Looking at the 1920 Federal census the children  Lester, June, and Rin were not enumerated in the 1910 census.  Who are these children? They are the same children in the 1910 and 1920 census with their names recorded incorrectly.  Leslie (1910) is Lester (1920), Jim (1910) is June (1920)  Andrew (1910) is Rin (1920) whose given name is Leander. Leander was known as Wren by the community and family members.

Andrew and Lula were enumerated with a grandson Al C Jackson in the 1930 census.  In the next census entry, son Leslie and wife Emma Magee Bullock and their children are listed. 

Leslie and Emma Magee were married on December 27, 1922 in Pike County.

The designation Neg in the 1930 census for race is for negro. The word negro is Spanish for the color black. Negro was the word to describe an American black person of African descent. The word negro identification of black people was used by famous educated black people such as Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, and Martin Luther King. In the late 1960s, the use of the word negro became obsolete.

Andrew and Lula Bullock were enumerated in the 1940 census with ages not consistent with prior information. Leslie family was listed as a widow with his children. Death Information for Emma Magee Bullock has not been identified at this time. Georgia L. and Lorena in the census are probably the same person.
