Notes

  • Mallissa's birth state was reported as Alabama in 1910, consistently in her record and the record for the birthplace of all the children.  In 1920, this changed consistently to become Mississippi!

    In 1930 other changes occur in the report.  Her place of birth is back to Alabama, but her father's place of birth is now Arkansas, instead of Mississippi:
    1930 Federal Census, Faulkner County, Arkansas, 9 April, Wilson Township, District 31, page 6B, Hse/Fam #111
    Mallisia J McPherson Head  F W 53  Widow  AL AR AL

    In the 1930 census, when Malissa (Malissia) is a widow, her grown sonClimmie, age 25, is still with her in the home, and her youngest daughter Eunice, age 17.  They live next door to Malissa's son from her first marriage, Alfred (Roberts, 31, who is listed as Alford McPherson.

    Two doors down the other direction is James Harmon and family.  A fewmonths later (28 Jan 1911) Eunice marries one of James' sons Earl.
