The next Census entry is very confusing. Becuase of the above facts I would conclude that the WILLIAM of the 1900 Geary County Census below was not the same person because of the birthdate discrepancy and the wife's name. However, the names of the children of WILLIAM and MARY E. are the same names of the children listed as the children of WILLIAM and CLARA. Further research is needed here.

The family of Charles William has graciously provided me with the research you see on this page. I want to thank Skip Pickering of KS for contacting me via the internet and sending me his family tree which was complied by his cousin Corene Wilson of Athens, GA. My undying gratitude for all your work!
