Just as an aside, I'm learning a lot about checking for myself and not just accepting things (and transcriptions). And I'm getting amazed at people who just blindly accept things.

Like Eli Clyde Bevington. In one census he's listed as that and as the son-in-law. And so, on someone's family tree they put him as the husband of Minnie Clyde Bevington, despite the fact that he was only nine years old in that census and Minnie Clyde was only two years older!

It could just be a mistake, of course. (The "son in law" bit on the census, I mean)

Also possible. I should make sure though.
