Notes:

Married:
They were living in seperate households at the time of the 1900 census, but both were reported as married for 27 years by the enumerator versus divorced or single.

In 1910, Euna was enumerated with son Noah and listed as widowed, but Jim was not present in the home, nor located on the census index.

In 1920, Euna was living next door to Noah, in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, William and Mary McDaniel. Her last name was erroneously shown as McDaniels, but her first name was reported as Eunie, and she was shown as "mother-in-law" and not mother. Her husband Jim was again living in a seperate household, with their son Owen, and also reported as widowed.

At the 1930 census, Una was again living with son Noah, this time listed as single.

Notes:

Married:
Marriage date per the US Confederate Pension application by Mrs. T. R. McClelland based on the service of her husband, Samuel D. McClelland. The year of marriage may wrong based on their years of birth (they each would have only been around 15 years of age). However, she was married before 1850, as she and S D McClellan can be found in Hinds County, Mississippi with a once month old daughter. Also living in their home was the widowed Elizabeth ROBBINS, age 46, and her children Jesse and Jeptha, ages 6 and 4. When Thirsey applied for the pension, on 12 Oct 1899, she was widowed and a resident of Sabine County, PO Vista, Texas. Her request was approved. The File number was 03556. At the time she applied for this pension, she stated that her home was worth $15, and she also owned one cow and calf and two yearlings, worth another $30. Witness was H. B. Robbins.
