I'm not related to this family.
You have William's last name spelled 2 ways = Hode & Hoge.
Which is correct??
Willian & Zenobia do not appear in the Hayes county TX 1870 census.
FYI -
All census records prior to the 1850 census only listed the head of household; whether male or female.
NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – country or state
NO marital relationship was stated – single, married, widowed, divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
TX vital records -
The Texas Vital Statistics law to register births and deaths was not passed until 1903.Texas was then and is now a dual registration state which means the local registrars retain a copy of all birth and death records for the events that take place within their jurisdiction and the state retains the original of all birth and death records for the entire State of Texas.However, the statutes for registering these events were not made mandatory until 1926.However, many local registrars did not adhere to the statutes until the late 1930’s or early 1940’s.This means some records reside only in the local registrars’ files and not with the State.
By 1900 William would be abt 65 & most likely deceased.
