    In January 1905, Minnie Gregory's marriage license reported her age as 24 years old.  This would mean she was born some time in 1881, as early as February. But her sister Alvenie's grave reports her sbirth date as 24 October 1881.  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.  No birth record has been found for Minnie E Gregory.

    Robert died after the 1930 census.  It appears from the 1940 census records that W R Hodges died before the 1940 census.  In that census, Minnie is reported as head of her houshold, with three of her children in her home.  She was initially designated as Married, by the M was crossed through.  But no W or other designation was added.  It appears she was a widow.

    Note also her age reported her would make her birth in about 1877, while her age in her marriage record makes it about 1881.

    -------------------------
    Several genealogies have identified this Minnie Greogry with another individual of the sme name in Kentucky, with a death record in Whitley County, Kentucky.  I can find no evidence of a relation between this Minnie Gregory and ours in Arkansas.  The Kentucky Minnie Gregory was for a Minnie F Philpot, wife of William H Gregory.

    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.  Her Arkansas ancestor Few H Gregory moved from Virginia to Tennessee, then on to Arkansas..
