Lists and genealogies I see list 10 children of Emma with Huddleston York. The 1900 census reports she has borne 10 children, but two of them have died. Details are not complete, since several were born before 1880 and no census is available for 1890. So only the first census for some children is available. This includes Thomas, the oldest, reported born about 1871 or 1872. Though listed in most, if not all, genealogies, and in a list on Huddleston's Find-a-Grave memorial, the first child, Thomas, is not the child of Emma. Censuses report this with several details in 1880 and 1900. In 1880, Thomas is reported as a 9-year-old child. The oldest child Thomas is listed last, normally indicating the child of a previous wife. 1880 Federal Census, Paulding County, Georgia, 3 June, Eutah District 1207, Enumeration District 157, page 9, Hse #69, Fam #71 York, Huddleston W M 35 Head Works on Farm GA TN TN [b abt 1845] York, Emma W F 26 Wife Keeping House GA GA GA [b abt 1854] York, Bershaba W F 5 Dau Single GA GA GA [b abt 1875] York, Olivia W M 4 Dau Single GA GA GA [b abt 1876] York, Lena W M 2 Dau Single GA GA GA [b abt 1878] York, Mary W M 1mo Dau Single GA GA GA [b abt Apr 1880] York, Thomas W M 9 Son Single GA GA GA [b abt 1871] The 1900 census confirms that Thomas was not the daughter of Emma. That census reports the length of marriage, telling us that Huddleston and Emma have been married 26 years. That is, they married about 1874, about 3 years after Thomas was born and one year before Busby was born, the first child reported in the 1880 census. 1900 Federal Census, Polk County, Georgia, 8 June, Van Went Village, District 80, Hse/Fam #137 York, Abraham H Head W M Jan 1843 57 Married 26 year GA KY TN Farmer Owns York, Emma L Wife W F Sept 1852 47 Married 26 year 10 children/8 living GA GA GA York, Fannie G Dau W M Aug 1882 17 Single GA GA GA York, James J Son W M Jan 1884 16 Single GA GA GA At School York, Madge C Dau W M April 1886 14 Single GA GA GA At School York, Iona P Dau W M Aug 1888 11 Single GA GA GA At School York, Huddie P Dau W M Jan 1891 9 Single GA GA GA Simpson, Charles W Boarder W M July 1864 35 Single GA GA GA Since the 1910 census reports that Emma had already borne 10 children and only 8 are living, one child not in any census was born and died between censuses. Thomas is not her child, and there are 9 others listed. We do not have enough information yet to determine which one of the children listed in 1880 or 1900 died. Four of the 5 listed in 1900 are still in the home in 1910. We have additional information on Frances (Fannie) and her later family. So 5 are accounted for. Four additional children are listed in the 1880 census, making nine children of Emma. Those children in the 1880 census would have just grown up and moved away from the home before 1900. Another unnamed child also was born and died between the censuses to make the total of 10 reported in 1910. 1910 Federal Census, Polk County, Georgia, 18 April, Civil District 5, Enumeration District 125, Sheet 2B, Hse/Fam #37 York, Huddleston A Head M W 68 Married 35 years GA KY TN Farmer Owns York, Emma L Wife F W 56 Married 35 years 10 children/8 living GA GA GA York, James J Son 26 GA GA GA York, Madeline C Dau 22 GA GA GA York, Iona Dau F W 19 GA GA GA York, Huddie Dau F W 18 GA GA GA Emma Wozencroft York Birth 1852 Death 1934 Burial Van Wert Cemetery, Rockmart, Polk County, Georgia Created by Kay Kelly Jul 19, 2011 -- Find A Grave Memorial #73625862, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=York&GSiman=1&GScid=2202644&GRid=73625862&

From the information on the 1880 census, it appears he married Emma Louise Wozencraft about 1874, with her first child reported as 5 years old, or born about 1875. This is confirmed in Emma's 1900 census record, which reports that she and Huddleston have been married 26 years, thus born about 1874. He is enumerated in 1880 under his middle name Huddleston. The oldest child Thomas is listed last, normally indicating the child of a previous wife. Thomas' age matches William of the 1870 census.

I have reviewed census entries for Ansel Wright, listed as apparently a son of Telitha Green. Ansel is listed in the household of Daniel and Talitha Green in 1850 and 1860. In 1850 his name is spelled Ansell and in 1860 Ansel. The latter appears to be the more standard spelling of the name. For other individuals in various families in the era, it also appears as Ancell and Ancel. It appears, thus, that he is a child of Daniel and Telitha. However, the name is entered as Ansel Wright. At first this appeared to mean his name was Ansell Wright Green. Working with other researchers on our family line, we have not been able to find anyone in the family lineage with the surname Wright of the given name Ansell that might account for a middle name of Wright. We have also look for a surname of Wright married into the family lines. There is one older Ansel Green, but ages and relationships in his family do not clarify this question about this Ansel Wright in the household of Daniel and Talitha. I reanalyzed this set of entries, to see if I could determine whether Wright was a surname for Ansel or a middle name for Ansel Wright Green. Here is the way things look to me as of 11 May 2007. The way names are entered and ditto marks (for last names in the same family) used on this page and neighbouring pages are entered, the use of ditto marks, etc., the 1850 census is more ambiguous. The enumerator did not use dittos consistently. In 1950 Ansel is with Daniel and Telitha in Gilmer County, Georgia, but in 1860 he is with them in Tunnel Hill, in Whitfield County, Georgia. Since he still lives with them after their move to the new location, it seems definitely that he is Telitha's son. The Mary Wright appears to be his wife in 1860, while they are still living in the same household with Daniel and Telitha. The 1850 census entry for the family looks like this: 1850 Federal Census, Gilmer County, Georgia, 9 November, Subdivision 33, Gilmer, Georgia, Hse/Family #1204 Daniel Green 40 M Farmer SC Telitha Green 41 F GA Ansell Wright 13 M GA In 1860, another person shows up in the household. After the entry for Ansel Wright age 25 is a Mary Wright, age 22. Neither Ansel's nor Mary's name has a ditto after the name Wright to indicate a last name of Green. It appears that this is a separate couple in the household of Daniel and Talitha. Winny Bearden, Talitha's older sister, is also living with the family in 1860. A property tax index record appears to be for this Ansell in the Trikeem District of Whitfield County. Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1892 Ansel Wright 1858, Trickeem District, District #1049 Whitfield County, Georgia In 1859, there was an entry for Ancil Wright in the property digest for the Tunnel Hill District, where he was enumerated in the 1860 census. Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1892 Ancil Wright 1859, Tunnel Hill District, District #1049 Whitfield County, Georgia In 1860 there is an additional person, Mary Wright, who appears to be Ansell's wife. Talitha's mother Winney Bearden is also in the household. 1860 Federal Census, Whitfield County, Georgia, 27 June, Tunnel Hill District, p 22B, Hse #161, Family #151 Daniel Green 49 M Farmer SC Talitha Green 51 F GA Ansell Wright 25 M Ala [note change of state from Georgia] Mary Wright 22 F Ala Winny Bearden 67 F NC (Talitha's mother) Note that the birth state for Ansel has changed from Georgia to Alabama, the same as his wife. This could be an enumerator error. We have no indication that Talitha's family were in Alabama. It is possible that her first husband had moved them to Alabama, where Ansel was born. But why would his birthplace be reported as Georgia in 1850? This does not clarify who his father was, but the evidence up to this point now seems to point to an earlier theory of my distant cousin Marion Mixon (in unpublished genealogy and email correspondence) that Telitha was married to someone named Wright before marrying Daniel. The previous name indicated for such a father was Ansel Wright, or Ansel Wright Green, if Wright was a middle name instead of a surname. But we can't find him any such person. U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861-1865 Ansel Wright Residence Georgia Enlisted 3 Jul 1861 Private in Company G, Georgia 11th Infantry Regiment on 03 Jul 1861 Did not survive the War "Mustered out" (died) on 15 Jun 1862 at Richmond, VA Hospital Roster of Confederate Soldiers of Georgia 1861-1865 (no image) I have not been able to locate Ansel and his possible wife in later censuses. But the overall picture from these two entries together is looking more like the enumerator of the two censuses 1850 and 1860 intended Wright as a last name, not a middle name. It is also possible that Ansel's father was listed before 1850 under a different first name. This is a frustrating aspect that is hard to run down before 1850, where censuses had only the name of the head of the household. I have many cases like this is virtually all lines of my family in the censuses from 1850. You need at least two to confirm the identity of a child, and get the names and ages straight.
