Hi Deborah,

I don't know if you still need the below or not. I don't see a sister resembling Arneatha, but I believe this is your Grace.

1900: Justice Precinct 6, Hunt Co., Texas

Jasper M. Stokes (head) 22/Dec 1877 TX>MS>MS Farmer
Married 4 Years
Amy Stokes (wife) 22/Nov 1877 TX>TX>AR 2 Children, 2 Living
Edgar Stokes (son) 4/Feb 1896 TX>*UNK>TX
Naoma Stokes (daughter) 1/Aug 1898 TX>*UNK>TX
*Doesn't make sense.

1910: Justice Precinct 2, Delta Co., Texas

Jasper M. Stokes (head) 32 TX>MS>MS Farmer/General Farm
1st Marriage/15 Years
Amie R. Stokes (wife) 32 TX>TX>TX 6 Children, 5 Living
1st Marriage
Edgar A. Stokes (son) 14 TX>TX>TX Farm Laborer/Home Farm
Naomi M. Stokes (daughter) 11 TX>TX>TX Farm Laborer/Home Farm
Vesta I. Stokes (daughter) 9 TX>TX>TX
Ruth E. Stokes (daughter) 4 TX>TX>TX
Gracie L. Stokes (daughter) 2 TX>TX>TX

I don't see them in 1920. Maybe Arneatha was born in 1911 or 1912 & by 1930 was married & gone??

1930: Precinct 2, Gray Co., Texas

Jasper M. Stokes (head) 52 TX>MS>LA Carpenter/Building
Age @ 1st Marriage/17
Amy R. Stokes (wife) 52 TX>TX>AR
Age @ 1st Marriage/17
La?? E. Stokes (son) 17 TX>TX>TX
Faye G. Stokes (daughter) 13 TX>TX>TX
(James, Grace & family live in the same precinct)

The Death Certificate for Amy shows her father as "R.E.Robnett" & her mother as "Ray".
