Hi, Helen,
1900 NC Vance, Henderson twp, ed 84, sh 4B
E. T. Currin is with M. E. and Annie M., come Creasy boarders, and Bettie Wiggins.
1910 SC Florence, Back Swamp twp, ed 16, sh 1A
Eugene Currin with his family and fa E. Thos, mo Mary E, and aunt Bettie K. Wiggins.
I agree with Thomas he's probably son of Elijah, but I don't have documentation.I think he may be double-numerated in 1850, age 12 with Elijah and Sally [NC Granville, Abraham Plains, p. 206B] and age 15 with grandmother Elizabeth (Crews) Currin [NC Granville, Goshen, p. 198], if I have the right folks.
I'm sending census images.
