Helen i am sure you are gong by the 1860 Covington County Ms. Census to distinguish which of these children belong to Louisa and which to J.H. Yawn. It reads as such;
414 J.H. Yawn m w 24 farmer Ala
Luisaf w 21Ala
A C Jm w 17
Josiahm w 14
E.E.f w 11
J.P.J.m w 9
W.A.m w 6Ala
If these ages correct it seems none of these could be children of James Hodge Yawn. Also is this Luisa a daughter of Louisa and Willis Jackson, or wife of James Hodge? Seems E.E. Yawn 11 year old female is daughter of Willis Jackson and Louisa and could be the Almeda(ELMEDA)on 1870 Grant Parish Census. Another question, is the ACJ Yawn Cornelius J. Yawn? What happened to Josiah? JPJ Yawn is John P. Joseph Yawn that is married to Felthia in 1870 Grant Parish and enumerated on Census. This John P. Joseph Yawn then married Candis Dickerson and is enumerated in Rapides Parish as such;
96/97 John Yawn w m 30 Farm Labor Ala
Candisw f 22Ms
Virettaw f 7LA
Cornelius w m 5
Mires E.w m 6 months Dec. La
A correction to previous correspondence that he first married Felithia and then Bloomie Hennigan, as it was son of Cornelius(son of Willis and Louisa) that married Bloomie. His name was John P. Yawn. They were enumerated as such;
1910 Calcasieu Parish La.
196/202 John Yawnm w 30 m 8 yrs Lumber mill labor Ms
Bloomie wife f w 25 m 8 yrsLa
Lufton sonm w 6
Goldie sonm w 5
Harvie sonm w 2La
Also in 1880 Rapides Parish seems to be the 6 year old W.A. Yawn from the 1860 Covington County Ms. Census of James Hodge. Now whether this is William Arthur Yawn and same as Arthur in 1870 in household of Louisa in 1870 Grant Parish or not is unclear, but enumerated as such;
1880 Rapides Parish La
67/67 William Yawn w m 26Ala
Eugeniaw f 23Tx
William sonw m 3La
Austin sonw m 10 monthsLa
Romaldo Chinno aunt and sister to Eugenia mother
w f 53La
Now to really inter-twine these families of Yawn we find this son of William Yawn and Eugenia, William(Willis A.) enumerated in 1900 Calcasieu Parish La. as such;
134/139 Willis A. Yawn m w Mar 1877 23 day labor La
Louise wifef w 25 Jan 1875La
and in same dwelling
Thomas S. Yawn m w 32 Ju 1868 day laborLa
Lillian wife f w 25 Jan 1875La
Mable dauf w 1 Dec 1899La
Now William Yawn husband of Eugenia is deceased by 1900 Census, but we find her enumerated in Rapides Parish as such
272/273 Eugenia Yawn w f Jan 1837 43 wd 2 children born 2
living La
Houston son w m May 1879 21La
In 1910 Calcasieu Parish La. enumerated are;
63/63 T.S. Yawn m w 37 m#1 11 yrs Carpenter La. Ala Ms
Lillian wife f w 36 m#1 11 yrsLa Ga Ky
Mable dau f w 11
Lucille dau f w 5
Hermais? son m w 4
Sydney son m w 6 monthsLa
Could this Thomas S.Yawn be named Thomas Sydney Yawn and be a son of Sydney Yawn and Martha that are enumerated with Louisa in 1870 Grant Parish? Another Yawn in 1910 Calcasieu of note is enumerated as such;
3/3 Wade Yawn m w 32 married 9 yrs Lumber mill La Ms Ms
Lydia wife f w 31 4 born 4 livingLa SC Ms
Louis son m w 8
Miller son m w 6
Louise dau f w 4
Forest son m w 2La
Now in 1920 Beauregard we find John P. Yawn and family enumerated as well as Wade Yawn as;
196/202 John P. Yawn m w 46 lumber mill labor MS MS MS
Bloomy wifef w 34La La La
Lufton sonm w 15
Goly sonm w 14
Havy sonm w4La Ms La
101/103 Wade H.Yawnm w 42La Ms La
Lydia M.wife f w 41
Miller E.son m w 15
Louise dauf w 14
Forrest sonm w 11
Hampton sonm w9La
In 1930 Eugenia is still living and enumerated in Rapides Parish La
59/60 Eugenia M. Yawn f w 73 widowTx Tx Tx
Thomas S. Yawn has moved family to Beaumont Texas, Jefferson County and enumerated as such;
17/19 Sidney H.Yawn m w 21 m@18LA La La
Kathleen wife f w 21Tx Ky Ala
Joan dauf w 1 and 10 monthsTx
Joseph J. Hamilton brother in law m w 24Tx Ky Ala
333/364 Thomas S. Yawn m w 56 m@25La La La
Lillian B.wife f w 55 m@24La Oh Tn
Jack sonm w 24La La La
I know this in no way answers the question of who Sidney Yawn of 1870 in Louisas' household but feel this is pertinent in the naming scheme. Just wish could find Sidney in 1880 to see if my assumptions correct.
