Apparently all daughters and one son that being JM Deal

Yep that's all I have to,But thank you for looking.

just a thought on the 1880 census, the way Tessy is placed on the census makes me think she is not a daughter of the head of household, maybe a niece? Also saw family trees that indicate her father was a Hall?

Hall would be the mother's maiden name.Maybe a mix up ? Can any one find a 1890 census ? I found a 1900 census and she would be 25 years old and not living with them.

Most of the 1890 census records were destroyed in a fire.

The census does say daughter though.

maybe adopted? and census records aren't always correct

Tell me more about the fire , Please , Thanks
