Jim Cooper writes on his blog, "Trails to Texas," http://www.trailstotexas.com/

"On the 1900 census, Amelia reports that she has had 11 children, 7 of whom were alive at that time. Only the 10 children below have been identified. Apparently one child whose name is now not known died at birth or very soon thereafter. If anyone has any information about this child, please contact me at mailto: jimcooper@austin.rr.com."

What source do you have for the maiden name of Amelia Grappe married to Nicholas Marion Jacks? Everyone I have seen except you has her last name as Grubb. If this is incorrect, I would like to know and know the source of your information. Thanks for your help.
