Mary E Wife Aug 1843 56 M 34 5 5
Mary (?) Dau Oct 1872 27 S
William T Son May 1874 26 S Farm laborer
Gentry, Ada M Dau Nov 1870 29 Wd ? 4 4

William A Gson Aug 1891 8 S
Mary O Gdtr May 1891 9 S
May J Gdrt Nov 1896 4 S
Cox, Robert G Boarder Apr 1881 19 S Farm Laborer
All born in NC except for William A Gentry, who was probably born in VA (the enumerator scratched out the beginning of the entry, leaving what looks like "ginia"), All parents born in NC. The two 1891 birth dates are correct, so we must have at least one grandchild who isn't Ada's. Probably William A, since he wasn't born in NC. But where is Ada's 4'th kid????
