Research notes
Working notes from the research, kept verbatim — what was read, what it proved, what stays open. Many open with a line grading the parentage; what the grades mean.
Research note · 27 Jul 2026
PROOF CLASS: FATHER = DIRECT (4 Sep 2026) - the 1920 census states her DAUGHTER of the head. MOTHER = DIRECT (6 Sep 2026) - the 1930 census states her DAUGHTER of the head, and the head is her WIDOWED MOTHER Alice P. Bond. Image read.
Audited 27 Jul 2026 - post-1850 spine, Phase 3 (ancestry/post-1850-plan.md). Parents were already attached here; this note records the record that EVIDENCES them, and ProofFather/ProofMother have been set to Proven.
1920 U.S. Census, LITTLE ROCK WARD 1, PULASKI CO., ARKANSAS, ED 0115, 2600 Arch St., dwelling 803, enumerated 2 Jan 1920 (Ancestry coll. 6061 rec. 90529708; NARA T625_78). IMAGE READ 27 Jul 2026. NOTE THE HOUSEHOLD STRADDLES TWO SHEETS - the head is the LAST line of p.32A and everyone else is at the top of p.32B, which is why the attached citation and the record page number disagree. Both sheets were read.
p.32A last line: Bond, John B. - HEAD - M W 51 M - b. Arkansas - father b. PENNSYLVANIA, mother b. Arkansas - President, Wholesale Drugs - home owned free.
p.32B lines 51-55: Bond, Alice - WIFE - F W 26 M - b. Arkansas; Lila - DAUGHTER - F W 4 4/12; Julia C. - DAUGHTER - F W 2 4/12; JOSEPHINE - DAUGHTER - F W 1; Hicks, Samella - NURSEMAID - 24.
Josephine at age 1 matches [46] b. 21 Dec 1918 (1 year 1 month at the 2 Jan 1920 enumeration). Head at 51 matches [185] b. 1868; wife at 26 matches [184] b. 1893. The under-5 ages are written as year-and-twelfths, the 1920 convention, which is a good sign this enumerator was working carefully.
INCIDENTAL: the head's father is recorded born PENNSYLVANIA - consistent with the Barnitz name, which is Pennsylvania German. Independent support for the Bond line.
** EVIDENCE BASIS: read FROM THE IMAGE, not the index - an explicit 'Relation to Head of House' column plus household composition and ages. **
*(was, 4 Sep 2026: MOTHER = UNDERDETERMINED - relation is to the HEAD only; the wife's maternity is household composition; upgrades on her 1918 Arkansas birth certificate.)* REGRADED 6 Sep 2026. The 1930 census (Little Rock, Pulaski Co., Ark., ED 0009, W. 25th St, house 416, dwelling 306 family 328; Ancestry coll. 6224 rec. 85734132, image 4532449_00162, READ ON THE IMAGE) enumerates: Bond, Alice P. - HEAD - owns $16,000 - F W 35 Wd; Lila P. Daughter 15; Julia K. Daughter 13; JOSEPHINE Daughter 11; Richard T. Son 9; Morgan, Lula Maid 47. [185] John Barnitz Bond died 24 Mar 1922, so his WIDOW heads the household - which is why this census states the relation to the MOTHER and the 1920 one could not. * THE INDEX WOULD HAVE MISLED A SESSION THAT DID NOT OPEN THE IMAGE: Ancestry's Household Members panel lists the two servants FIRST, above Alice, so read off the panel the head looks like a maid. The image shows the family number on Alice's line. Same family as the off-by-one warning in [184]'s own note.
