This census entry is intriguing. Susan, Jessie's mother, is
widowed, and it is indicated that she only had 2 children, with only
one (Jessie) still alive. Above, researchers have generally been
consistent that C. D. and Susan had 6 children. That is a big
discrepancy. Honestly I have my doubts that Charles Decatur was a
son of Charles and Betsy.
