Info on Aley Jane Pruitt Lackey

This week I was finally able to track down information on the widow of Al Lackey. It appears that sometime in the mid to late 1890's she moved to Kansas with her daughter Annie and her husband James M. Houser.

Read this doc on Scribd: Lawrence KS, 1900 Census


What is interesting about this census is aparently she did not even acknowledge her other children. In the columns marked "Number of Children born to this woman" and "Number of Children still living", she answered "one" in both columns, only acknowledging her daughter Annie (1877-1910), this is interesting for a woman who gave birth to at least 12-15 children. She does give her marital status as widowed, however.
