    • William Gilwater Price, his wife and their 6 children shared the same dwelling with his brother Perry, Perry's wife and 2 children, as well as Lucinda's brother Richard Bussey with his wife and 2 children. The census taker placed all 3 of these family units in the same dwelling.

      That's 6 adults and 10 children in one household.

      Also on this same census page are several Gentry families, a Denney family, and another Bussey family. The adults seem to have been born in Arkansas, but their parents mostly came from Tennessee.
