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.

Andrew Bullock Part 2

 Andrew Bullock was a farmer enumerated in the 1910 Pike County federal census with a different wife Lula McEwen. Death information of Vicey (Visa) Bridges Bullock has not been found at this time.   The census record indicates this is the second marriage for both of them with the designation of M2 with ten years in the present marriage. Lula had seven children with six living. The designation on the census record for race is Mu for Mulato which suggests a person of mixed Caucasian and Black ancestry or not having black skin color.

 They were married for less than 10 years on the actual marriage certificate. Lula Brumfield and Andrew Bullock were married on January 12, 1901 in Pike County. From the 1910 census record and their marriage date, Lula has six living children: Leslie, Jim and Andrew Bullock, Joe, Ed and Roberta Brumfield. Andrew Bullock's child Ada Bullock enumerated with mother M A Bullock would be 32 years old in 1910. Andrew Bullock's children enumerated with Vicey Bridges Bullock ages would be in 1910 Mattie 27, John 26, Thomas 23, Monroe 21 and Samuel 20 who probably be living independently or deceased.

Lula's previous marriage was to Robert Brumfield. They married on July 11, 1893 in Pike County,

Andrew Bulock Part 1

 Andrew Bullock was a farmer born February 1858 in Mississippi from the 1900 enumeration of the Pike County, Mississippi Federal census. His parents were born in Mississippi and their names are unknown at this time. His name is also known as Andy and Ander Bullock. Andrew Bullock had three brothers Charlie, Jake and John who were identified at the Brumfield and Bullock Family Reunion July 11 to 13, 1997 booklet. After research, the children assigned to John in the booklet are children of William Bullock. Andrew Bullock had three wives during his life.

In the 1880 Pike County federal census, Andrew is 22 married to M A Bullock 19 years old. They have one daughter enumerated A Bullock who is 9 months old. The quality of the census record is extremely poor and not reproduced here. In the 1885 Pike County school census, Andrew Bullock is identified along with Ada who is 6 years old. I have been unable to find additional information concerning M A Bullock.

FAMILY TIES 1

 

It’s often difficult to determine familial relationships this is especially true at family reunions. Everyone wants to know how they are related within their family and with other families. This is my first attempt at identifying some family ties. I have made multiple blog posts about the Caston, Downs, Gatlin, Brumfield and Andrews families.  I will have future blog posts on other branches. An extensive detailed genealogy of the Barnes family has been done by Rosie M. Polk which I will not try to duplicate on my blog. https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/p/o/l/Rosie-M-Polk/GENE4-0007.html

Every individual has 2  parents and 4 grandparents. An uncle is the brother of a person’s father or mother OR the husband of your aunt (aka uncle-in-law). An aunt is the sister of a person’s father or mother OR the wife of your uncle (aka aunt-in-law). First cousins share the same grandparents.

I would like to dissect a portion of the chart using the following illustrations:

Mattie and Charlie Barnes were brother and sister. They had 7 siblings, 25 aunts and uncles the siblings of their parents. If each aunt and uncle married a possible 25 uncle-in-laws and aunt-in-laws for a total of 50. The actual number is slightly less because of early deaths and unmarried individuals. I provided a more detailed genealogy of Charlie Barnes and Bertha Brumfield in the post "Tombstone Tuesday" September 20, 2022. 

Edward “Ned” Barnes and Jerry Barnes were brothers. They each had 14 siblings. Harry Barnes, their father had 4 siblings and their mother Mahalia Johnson 3 siblings. They had 7 aunts and uncles. If each aunt and uncle married a possible 7 uncles-in-law and aunts-in-law for a total of 14.  I have  made an incomplete review of the names and number of the siblings' children and wives siblings children of Edward "Ned" Barnes and Jerry Barnes. From my review these two men  were uncles  and uncle in-law to a over 100 nieces and nephews.

Liddie Brumfield Caston and Louis Brumfield had 4 sons:

Richard Brumfield

Irving Brumfield

Thomas Brumfield

Frank Brumfield 

 Richard Brumfield and Thomas Brumfield are brothers.  They had 3 siblings each. There aunts and uncles are unknown.  The number of siblings of Liddie Brumfield Caston, Louis Brumfield, Ellen Walker, Catherine Love, Celia, and Louisa McEwen wife of Irving Brumfield are presently unknown from my research.  I have been unable to find the genealogy of Frank Brumfield. 

 

From available information Thomas Brumfield had 25 nieces and nephews and Richard had 12 nieces and nephews.

This genealogy research presented is incomplete because names may have been omitted and all kinship relationships of these families have not been identified. Though oral history from descendants, research of historical records and DNA analysis more information my be obtained in the future. The goal was to show some selected families relationships.
