Hi Togin Cassell,
My info on the children of Charles & Daisy Witty comes from census records (it appears they actually had 9 children)
CENSUS: (Ancestry.com)
1) 1900 Census: Wyandotte County, Kansas (Kansas City Ward 1 - all South of Kansas Ave); E.D. 144, p. 95, sheet 9B (12-13 Jun 1900): "Witty, Charles M, b. June 1876 Kentucky, age 23, marr. 3 yrs; Daisy, wife, b. Aug 1875 Iowa, age 24, mother of 2 children, 2 living; Doris, daughter, b. Oct 1898 Kansas, age 1; Viola, daughter, b. Nov 1899 Illinois, age 6/12"
2) 1910 Census: Merino, Logan County, Colorado (Precinct 10); E.D. 239, p. 10, sheet 6A (26 April 1910): "Witty, Charles, age 35, b. Kentucky, married 13 yrs, farmer; Daisie, wife, age 35, b. Iowa, MOTHER OF 8 CHILDREN, 6 LIVING; Doris, daughter, age 11, b. Kansas; Viola, daughter, age 10, b. Illinois; Addie, daughter, age 7, b. Kansas; Charles, son, age 4, b. Kansas; Bessie, daughter, age 2, b. Missouri; Ruth, daughter, age 10/12, b. Missouri" -- so 2 children must have died BEFORE 1910
3) 1920 Census - Orange County, California (Tustin Township, Prospect Ave.); E.D. 92, p. 229, sheet 14B (2 Feb 1920):"Witty, Charles, age 43, b. Kentucky, Hired man, Citrus Farm; Witty, Daisy, wife, age 43, b. Iowa; Fuquay, Viola, daughter, age 20, married, b. Illinois, waitress, restaurant; Fuquay, Viva, granddaughter, age 2 3/12, b. Colorado, father b. Mexico; Fuquay, Marshall W, grandson, age 4/12, b. Wyoming, father b. Mexico; Witty, Charles, son, age 13, b. Kansas; Witty, Bessie, daughter, age 11, b. Kansas; Witty, Ruth, daughter, age 9, b. Kansas; Witty, Wilbur, son, age 8, b. Colorado"
4) 1930 Census: Clay County, Indiana (Center Point) 29 Apr 1930; E.D. 11-19, p. sheet 3B: "Witty, Charles M, age 49, marr. age 23, b. Indiana; Daisy G, wife, age 47, marr. age 21 b. Indiana" -- there is no Charles M. Witty married to a Daisy in California in 1930 so I'm just guessing this is the same man...
I do not know the name of Viola's husband and father of Viva Fuquay or have any information other than that he was born in Mexico. I'm only aware of the 2 children listed in the 1920 census. Do you have information on a second marriage and another child?
I would love to correspond directly with you and gather information you have. I believe the father of Charles M. Witty was William H. Witty m. Nancy C. Perkins. Father of William H. Witty was Lindsay B. Witty m. Lucinda before 1843 and Mickey P. after 1856 - So you are descended from Lindsay and Mickey's son, Ezekiel?
Email address is: [email protected] - hope to hear from you soon. Merry Christmas!
