    • Per Researcher Patty Rose (message of 3 Dec 2002):

      "In the Letcher 1900 census, Elizabeth and her first 5 children are living with her parents - note she and the children are named Mullins - this could possibly be an oversight of the enumerator (he already made a terrible error when he counted only one child for Charity; I've validated 4 and suspect at least 2 more)
