By 1910, the family had returned to the Owens Cross Roads area, and the family had grown with 3 more children - Leslie, Lee (Ollie Leroy), and Berneice (Mary Berneice). Later that year, Frances was born and Jessie D. Cobb arrived in 1914. And by 1930, the family was living on the New Hope/Gurley Road, and there were two children left at home, Frances and Jessie.
