Note: only 9 children listed - did Mary have an earlier marriage and have two older children? FamilySearch has Mary married to Alpheus M. Gillespie, 19 Jan 1874 and a child Mary born to that marriage although Gillespie is shown with a different wife married on the same day in a different state, and he lived much longer. Thomas Franklin Cox born 9 Jun 1900 - who was likely present when the enumerator was there, but born too late to be counted.
