James Paul DOOLEY

<p>James was born in Missouri in 1860. The 1850 census shows his father</p><p><p>marriedto Martha, while the 1860 census shows him married to Arzelia, so</p><p><p>it's possible that either one could be his mother, however, there is a</p><p><p>seven year gap between James and his older siblings, leading me to</p><p><p>believe he's the son of Arzelia. In the 1860 census his parents are</p><p><p>living in Monroe County, Missouri. There is no mention of him, but he may</p><p><p>have been born right after the census was taken.</p></p><p><p>In the 1870 census, James is shown living with his parentsand seven</p><p><p>siblings in Jefferson Township. At age ten, his occupation is farm</p><p><p>laborer.</p></p><p><p>In 1880 he married Jennie Moss in Monroe County. The 1900 census</p><p><p>shows himand Jennie living in Washington Township with their two</p><p><p>daughters. It shows that they had four children, two lived. His</p><p><p>occupation is farmer, and it states that owned it with a mortgage. The</p><p><p>1910 census shows he and Jennie living the same place with a 12 year o ld</p><p><p>orphan named John Whye from New York. The1920 census shows James livin g</p><p><p>with Ethel Scobee, his daughter, and her son Glenn in Stoutsville. It</p><p><p>states that he owned the property, and was not working.</p></p><p><p>His daughter, Byrtee Lee died in 1930 and he was reported to</p></p><p><p>accompany her body back from Chicago to Stoutsville, so he must have</p><p><p>lived at least to 1930.</p></p><p>Jean Jordan Mitchell 10/98, William A.
