Note***
In the 1900 census she states she had given birth to ten children and that of those seven were still living.

I can account for the seven children, listed as still living in 1900. Three were his bother's and four were his offspring.

Two more were born after 1900;
1 daughter & 1 son
********************************************
1901 John Dennis, Jr.***see below
1902 Johnnie Virginia***see below

His obituary notes eight surviving children. These would be his three stepchildren and five of his six natural children.

This leaves open the question regarding the three already deceased children stated as per the 1900 census, Were they children of his brother William or were they his children?
