Her ister Molly L was reported as 2 years old in the June 1880 census; The 1900 census reported Minnie's birth date as August 1879, but she not reported in the 1880 census. the birth dates in the 1900 census are notoriously incorect. and often we find the date of birth on someone's grave differs from that on a birth record.

There is no evidence of any reason Minnie would have been moving to Kentucky, where her family has no known connections except in previous generations in another branch of this broader Gregory lineage.

The daughter Minnie E appears in the order of birth where Molly was in 1880, but Minnie's birth date is reported as August 1879. So where was she in 1880. Minnie's age in 1905, on her mariage record, was reported as 24, meaning she was born in February 1881 or later, some time before January 1882. Minnie's birth in February 1881 is also problematic, since her sister Alvenie's grave reports Alvenie was born on 24 October 1881. We don't have an exact day of birth for Minnie, and it would be technically possible for a child to be born in early February and another in later October, but this is unlikely. Birth dates in the 1900 census often present problems like this. We also find that reproted ages and birth dates varied through a person's life in that era. The grave date is often off by one or two years form the recorded birth record. But we do not have Minnie's birth record. The following newspaper article from 1910 refers to Molly L Gregory Grimsley. Molly's husband died in 1910. The article states that "Mrs Grimsley" returned to Texarkana. The paper is in Batesville, Arkansas, where this orphans home was located . Batesville is in the opposite corner of Arkansas, about 235 miles from Texarkana. "NOT A HOME FOR WIDOWS. J B Watson and Mrs Grimsley, also two of the children they brought here Tuesday morning, to enter the Masonic Home, returned to Texarkana last night.
