Julia Lussie (Lussie) Cornett age 6 married Wayne Dexter Williamson on 6 Apr 1941 in Loudon County.  Wayne was the son of Albert Samuel Williamson and Myrtle Jane Carmack and the grandson of my second great grandparents Alexander L. (Alex) Williamson and Margaret Ann (Maggie) England.  As such, Albert was the brother of my great grandfather John William Williamson and Wayne was the first cousin of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Lussie was the daughter of Maggie Lebow age 36 and Maggie's second husband Robert Lusker (Lusker) Cornett.  Lusker died in 1922.  Leon Webster age 13 was the son of Maggie and her first husband James Franklin Webster.  I do not know yet if James died young or if he and Maggie were divorced.

Joseph Edward (Edward) Bray age 43 was the son of my second great grandparents Joseph A. (Joe) Bray and Ferriba Salina (Salina) Moore.  As such, he was the brother of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.

Mary Docia (Dosie) Stalcup age 45 was the daughter of Peter M. Stalcup and Rachel Clevenger.

Clifford Henry (Henry) Williamson and Frank Allen Williamson were sons of my second great grandparents Alexander L. (Alex) Williamson and Margaret (Maggie) England.  As such, they were brothers of my great grandfather John W. Williamson.

Mary Bessie M. Ann (Bessie) Coley age 27 was the daughter of Robert M. Coley and Amanda Etta (Etta) Goodman.  Bessie and Uncle Henry were married on 17 Jan 1916 in Loudon County.  Contrary to what her census age would suggest, she was born in 1896.

Alex Williamson and Maggie England were both born in North Carolina, so the birth places of Henry and Frank's parents were listed incorrectly.

Albert Samuel Williamson age 35 was the son of my second great grandparents Alexander L. (Alex) Williamson and Margaret (Maggie) England.  As such, he was the brother of my great grandfather John W. Williamson.

Myrtle Jane Carmack age 39 was the daughter of Harvey H. Carmack and Mary Ann Henley.  Myrtle and Uncle Albert were married on 14 May 1916 in Loudon County.

Alex Williamson and Maggie England were both born in North Carolina, so the birth places of Albert's parents were listed incorrectly.

Moses (Mose) Green age 52 was the son of Isaac P. Green and Martha (Mattie) McMahan.  As such, Mose was the brother of William George Washington Green who was the first husband of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.

Rhoda Amos age 49 was the daughter of Charlie Amos and Dicy Ann Smith.  More importantly, Rhoda was the first wife of William Webster (Billy or W.W.) Bray.  Uncle Billy was the brother of the aforementioned Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.

The Dicy Ann Smith who was the mother of Rhoda Amos was apparently not related to the Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith who was my third great grandmother.

The enumerator made a mistake in the House Number.  It should be dwelling number 500 rather than dwelling number 430.  The Family Number is correct.

Bell Laura (Laura) Stalcup age 24 was the daughter of William R. (Will) Stalcup and Anna E. (Annie) Bray, and the granddaughter of my grandparents Joseph A. (Joe) Bray and Ferriba Salina (Salina) Moore.  As such, Annie was the sister of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray, and Laura was the first cousin of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Bray on 29 Sep 1895 in Knox County, and she married second Moses (Mose) Green on 6 Oct 1904 in Loudon County.  So Rhoda and Uncle Billy were divorced sometime between 1895 and 1904 but I have not yet found any record of the divorce.

Uncle Billy was the brother of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.  Haley's first husband was William George Washington Green who was the brother of Mose Green.  So Rhoda Amos married first Haley's brother and Rhoda married second Haley's brother-in-law.

Freddie married Irene Hudson age 19 on 2 Jul 1927 in Loudon County.

Trixie Williamson age 29 married Roy Sidney Hart on 24 Apr 1918 in Loudon County.  I don't know why Trixie was not living with Roy.  He died in 1959, so he was not deceased at the time of the 1930 census.
