(For details, view at 200% if using a computer, or use a strong magnifying glass.)
This page of the 1930 census shows Yancy Horton at age 60, which was the same age listed for his wife Sofia. It shows also that he was 19 when he first married, while she was given as age 17 when she first married. However, the “19” is not clear for Yancy's marriage age. It may have been 17 like Sofia's age at marriage. Since they were both listed as age 60, it would indicate that they were both married first to one another, both at age 17, if the ages were correct. A comparison to the earlier census record of 1900 brings their respective ages into question, as that census showed that Yancy was born in August of 1861, while “Sopha” was born in “Jany” (January) of 1860. Accordingly, there was about 18 months difference in their ages. Since the 1900 census included the month of birth, it is considered to be more accurate on birthdates (including years) than the other censuses.
