Mary J Smithson [Parents] was born in Jan 1875 in , Williamson, Tennessee. She married Albert Bryant in 1894.
!Notes:
The Williamson Co. Census shows Charles Smithson as head of house
and a
farmer. He is age 63 and they have been married for 35 years. His
wife Martha,
age 57, says that she is the mother of 4 children and all 4 are
living in 1900.
Mary T., born in Jan. 1874, and Robert are living in the household
in 1900.
The Carroll Co. Census shows an Albert and Mary Bryant, with a
sister-in-law
Allice Smithson living with them. Mary is age 26 in 1900, born Jan.
1874, so
Mary was probably in the census twice.
Mary J. says that they have been married 6 years and that she has
2 children
and both are living. It is strange that no children are listed.
