	1768	v.	Mollie Kendrick; born 1 March 1904, married [-?-] Wilson.

I can not resolve the above information with the 1920 federal census that reports the children (still living with their parents) of James and Florence Kendrick to be Grace Kendrick, age 7, Bertha Kendrick, age 6 and James R. Kendrick, age 1, at which time Florence would have been age 54.²⁸⁵² Also this census reports Florence's father to have been born in North Carolina and her mother to have been born in Texas; whereas the other children of Robert and Phoebe Clifford report both their parents being born in Kentucky. Perhaps this Florence was not Florence (Clifford) Kendrick, although her age, 55 (born circa 1875), correlates with age of Florence Clifford, born 1876.
