Notes

  • 1900 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 16 June, Civil District 17, Enumeration District 55, page 10A, Hse/Fam #171
    Gregory, Andrew J  Head W M Nov 1849  50 Married 22 yrs TN Unknown TN Farmer Owns
    Gregory, Leathy  Wife W F May 1854  46 Married 22 yrs 9 children, 9 living SC SC SC
    Gregory, Marthy (?) J  Dau W F May 1890  10 Single TN TN SC

    1910 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 4 May, District 8, Enumeration District 77, page 10A, Hse/Fam #150
    Gregory, Jackson  Head M W 55 Married 28 years TN TN TN Farm Laborer Owns
    Gregory, Leathy  Wife F W 51 Married 28 years 9 children/9 living TN TN TN
    Gregory, Martha J Dau F W 14 Single TN TN TN [b abt 1906]

    Note that the reported age for Martha jumps 14 years, instead of 10 between these two censuses.  Thsi happens with several members of this family, and the famliy of Dock Gregory, Jackson's brother.

    The age in 1920 matches the 1910, with a 1920 January census date.

    1920 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 7 January, Civil District 8, Enumeration District 78, page 3A, Chesnut Hill Path, Hse/Fam #46
    Gregory, Jack Head Owns M W  64 AL TN TN Farmer
    Gregory, Leath Wife F W  62 SC SC SC
    Gregory, Jannie [Janie] Dau F W  23 TN AL SC

    1930 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 18 April, Civil District 8, Enumeration District 14, page 5A, Hse/Fam #91
    Gregory, Andrew J Head Owns M W 78 Married at age 27 cannot read or write AL TN TN Farmer
    Gregory, Janie Dau F W 26 Single can read and write TN AL TN [b abt 1904]

    The entry of her name actually looks like Jamie.  Thus it would seem that Janie was intended for the name in 1930.  The writing is not smooth or consistent.  The closest match to this  name would be the initial J in Martha J's name in 1900 and 1910.  Knowing the naming patterns, I would take that to be Martha Jane.  The age in 1930 produces a 14-year range of ages for Martha Jane, from the 1900 reported birth in 1890 to the 1930 age yielding a birth year of 1906.  The primary name is clarified in the 1940 census, being clearly written as Janie.  This is her middle name.

    Janie's mother died in March 1930.  Her father died in November 1936.  In the 1940 census, Janie is enumerated with her older brother Arthur and younger sister Viola.  All were still single.
