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.
