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.

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.
