The 17 Jun 1880 US Census of Graysville, Catoosa Co., GA enumerated the household of 26 Y/O Charles Thomas Farrar, a sawyer in a local saw mill who was born in Evergreen, VA, and his 23 Y/O wife, Rosalind Virginia (Dawn) Farrar, born in TN. Also living in the household as a "boarder" was 45 year old William Baker Farrar, " local lumber dealer". He was Charles' first cousin from Evergreen, VA and the owner of the lumber saw mill where Charles was employed. Also living in the household were their children: 6 Y/O Maye Hardwick Farrar born in Dawnville, Whitfield Co., GA; 2 Y/O Thomas Bennett Farrar (b. 29 Oct 1877 Cleveland, Bradley Co., TN [Reference: Farrar Family Bible] - d. 19 Apr 1888 Woodlawn, Jefferson Co., AL [Reference: Farrar Family Bible]) and 10 months old William Charles Farrar, my grandfather, born in Graysville, Catoosa Co., GA.

Between 04 Jun 1881, the birth date of their son, Ogden Shelby Farrar, in Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA, and 16 Jan 1884, the birth date of their son, Stephen Baker Farrar, in Cedartown, Polk Co., GA, Charles Thomas Farrar and his family began to migrate further southward with stops in Cedartown, Polk Co., GA where as noted above their son, Stephen Baker Farrar, was born on 16 Jan 1884. Their next stop was Tallapoosa, Haralson Co., GA where sadly their 1 Y/O son, Stephen Baker Farrar, died on 30 Jun 1885 and where their daughter, Jimmie Oden Farrar, was born on 05 Nov 1885. Charles and his family continued their migration and arrived in Woodlawn, Jefferson Co., AL (later to become part of Birmingham) about 1888 as their son, Thomas Bennett Farrar died there on 19 Apr 1888 and their son, Sam Cross Farrar, was born there on 15 May 1888. (NOTE: All birth and death dates confirmed by the Farrar Family Bible). Charles Thomas Farrar's first recorded employment in the Birmingham area was at the Sloss Furnace repair shop in 1888 (The Sloss Furnace is a National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama that operated as a pig iron-producing blast furnace from 1882 to 1971). By 1889, Charles went into the familiar business of lumber dealing and was the foreman of Hughes Lumber Yard in Birmingham but gravitated to the more lucrative job of working for the railroads. In 1890 he was a "locomotive fireman" for the "Georgia Pacific Railroad" By 1896 he was a "locomotive engineer" for the renamed "Southern Railway" and continued to work for the railroads most of his remaining life.

Enoree Yvonne Farrar was born on 21 Sep 1895 at Avondale, Jefferson Co., AL. The 1896 Birmingham City Directory records Charles Thomas farrar, a Southern Railroad engineer, and his family, including Enoree Yvonne Farrar, living in Avondale at the address, “2d ave A’dale” (Avondale). Avondale, at the time, was the site of a very large cotton mill and its accompanying company owned community and store. Avondale was located closely to the Sloss Furnace repair shop where Enoree's father, Charles Thomas Farrar, worked in 1888. NOTE: Rosalind Virginia (Dawn) Farrar, Enoree's mother, had visited North Carolina and so loved the name of the Enoree River located there, that she named her daughter after it.

I have not been able to locate the Charles Thomas Farrar family in 1900 US Census.

The 1900 Birmingham City Directory recorded Chas T. Farrar as an “engineer Southern Railroad” and his residence was listed as “2d ave A’dale” (Avondale). He had remained a “railroad engineer” but “Southern Railroad” was operating “Georgia Pacific Railroad" after 1894.

The 1910 US Census of Birmingham, AL enumerated the household of 59 Y/O Charles Thomas Farrar and his 53 Y/O wife, Rosalind Virginia (Dawn) Farrar. Also living in their household were their children: 20 Y/O Dawn Franklin Farrar, a pressman; 16 Y/O Sybley John Farrar, a student; 14 Y/O Enoree Yvonne Farrar and 12 Y/O Edward Larson Farrar.

The 1912 Birmingham City Directory records Enoree Yvonne Farrar, a student, living in her father's house at “1008 McMillan av, W E”.

The 1920 Birmingham City Directory recorded Albert Charles Jackson and his wife, Enoree, living at 601 Tuscaloosa Ave. They were living in the household of Enoree's sister, Maye Hardwick Farrar) Gresham, and her husband, Dr. Andrew Belton Gresham, a physician practicing at the Birmingham Infirmary.

The 1930 US Census of Jasper, Walker County, AL enumerated the household of 40 Y/O Dr. Albert Charles Jackson, a general surgeon, and his 30 Y/O wife, Enoree Yvonne (Farrar) Jackson. Also living in the household were their children: 7 Y/O Jeanne Belton Jackson and 4 Y/O Jacquelyn Yvonne Jackson.
