note from Ann (Jobe) Brown:
"Note that Medie is quite a bit older and when you look up the actual
census, they have been married 10 years and it is her 2nd marriage. She is
shown to have had 4 children with 4 alive - so there was probably 1 child by
the first marriage" [yes - he was Oscar Dycus - Kyle]
