The Lewis E DePriest Household in the 1900 Census

The table below shows information collected in the 1900 census from household #292 in the Rustburg District of Campbell County. Note errors in the data, like the spelling of Lewis and the year of Lizzie K’s birth. I have given other census data and my comments in notes below the tables.

Name	Relation	Birth	Age	Occupation
Dupriest, Louis E	Head	Dec 1858	41	Constable

1. Everyone and their parents are listed as being born in Virginia, except Martha who is listed as born in Missouri.

2. Martha and Lewis are listed as being married for 6 years. Martha is listed as the mother of 5, 4 still living. But John Bailey and Martha had a 6^th unnamed girl child that died soon after birth. Son Willie died soon after Martha remarried.

3. Women may be listed as “At school”; other women have no occupation.

4. Sister in Law Mary E is now permanently 39 or the birth year is in error.

Martha’s son, newly married Ocea P Bailey lives in household 291

Name	Relation	Birth	Age	Occupation
Bailey, Osie	Head	Nov 1878	21	Farmer
_____, Maggie L	Wife	Sep 1881	18
Farris, Margaret J	Grandmother	July 1836	63

1. I think Margaret J Farris is actually the grandmother of Maggie. She should be listed as grandmother in law of the head of household.

2. Ocea and Maggie have been married 0 years, she has 0 children.
