Foy McKindred Cox was the son of Abraham Foy Cox and Margaret Albina O'Dell.  As such, he was the grandson of my third great grandparents Riley Cox and Frances (Franky) Price, and he was the nephew of my second great grandfather John Tivis Cox.

Estella Hardman was the daughter of Jehu R. (John) Hardman and Caroline V. (Carrie) Osbourne.  The spelling of Jehu's name in the census was creative to say the least.

The census transcription is correct with respect to who was listed as a truck farmer.  But the original enumeration was obviously incorrect in that it must have been Jehu Hardman who was the truck farmer, not his two year old granddaughter.
