Hubbard S. 17. Rubin 14. George 12. Coray May age 10.
and born in Louisiana: J. H., son, age 5, Evie J., dua, age 3.

I've not found them in 1920. Son Hubbard and his wife Maudie were living in Franklin Parish in 1820 and "Aytch" probably meant to be "H" Hubbard, his brother age 14, lived with him. Likely their parents dead.

An online database gives James William's death as 1934 in Upshur Co, TX. I've looked at that death certificate and the man was only age 50, married to a Cora, born in Upshur Co TX, and his father was "Hannible" Higginbotham. I don't believe that can be this man.
