Life History

Notes

• One genealogy reports the child in the sequence of birth to match Georgia as Evelyn.  This appears to be based on the 1930 census which lists her as only Evelyn, age 17.  It would seen we can assume this lists her by her middle name, which matches the initial E in the 1920 census.
  
  There is a discrepancy in her birth date.  The 1920 census records her age as 11 years and some months.  The number above the 12 for the months is smudged, as are many numbers on the page.  Since the census date was January that year,  to have passed her 7th birthday, she had to be born in 1912.  Again in 1930, her age is 17, in an April census.
  
  But one date in genealogies is an exact birth date of 3 September 1913.  According to that, she was only 6 at the 1920 census, and had her 7th birthday on 3 September 1920.  Kaye Nicholson, indeed reports the date as 3 September 1912.  I am following Nicholson's date for Georgia Evelyn's birth.
  
  "Evelyn Terry, born September 03, 1912 in Murray Co., GA; died May 31, 1975 in Murray Co., GA. She married J. L. Morland"
