Beaulah B. Isbell was listed as a granddaughter and Moses Donaldson was a
grandson. Moses was 7 years old born Feb 1893. Beaulah was 4 years old
born Sept 1895.
The census says that Nancy had had 4 children and they were all still
living. All 4 children are still living at home with their parents. The
oldest daughter--Prilla A. is 23 years old and has a D (divorced) in the
column for marital status. There is a marriage record for Prilla to Charles
Isbell 12/11/1894 in Montgomery County. That explains Beaulah's birth.
As for Moses.....perhaps Prilla had another marrieage to a Donaldson prior
to Charles Isbell. Couldn't find any indication of that though. Or, maybe
she had an illegitimate child when she was 16 years old?
The other daughter Jennie E. was 20 years old and had an S in her marital
status column. A 7 year old son would be stretching it for her.
You could check for a marriage license for Moses if he lived that long.
That should list his parent's names.
