[1, 4, 5, 12] - In the 1900 Census, Mary Ann Moore Claxton was widowed. She had born a total of 9 children, 7 of which were then living - Lonnie B., 19; Luther Martin, 16; Henrietta, 12; John L., 10; Calley, 7; Michel L., 5; William H., 2. Two other unknown children must have been born and died between her marriage in 1881 and the census in 1900.
In the 1910 Census, Mary Ann Moore Claxton Tye is married to H. C. Tye - married in 1909. The 5 Tye children, ages 22-13, living with them are from H. C. Tye's first marriage. There are 3 Claxton children living with them, step-children to H. C. Tye - Norma, 27; Mike L., 15; Dewy, 7. In this census, Mary Ann has had a total of 10 children, 7 of which are living. Thus between 1900 and 1910, she had one more child, and one more died. The differences between these two census reports raises several questions.
Dewy (1910 Census) was born about 1903 by an unknown father between Mary Ann's first husband's death and her second marriage. Dewy would account for the increase from 9 total children in 1900 to 10 in 1910.
Calley (1900 Census) is not in the 1910 Census and I could not find any later records of her. Therefore she may have died between 1900 and 1910, and with Dewy's birth, would account for the same number of living children for Mary Ann in 1900 and 1910.
If Lonnie B. (1900 Census) and Norma (1910 Census) are the same person, then the total number and living number of children in each census are correct, as there are 7 living children accounted for in each census. Sources indicate they were born in February in 1881 and February 1880. If they are two different children, then the children numbers for Mary Ann are wrong in both census. I could not find any records of Lonnie other than the 1900 Census. I did find Norma's death certificate in 1942 when she was married to Jim Vinsant (marriage date unknown). The only other possible records of Norma found are (1) Normon (Norma?) Claxton, female, marrying E. Mc Homes in Campbell Co., TN on 20 Mar 1911, and (2) Norma Neal, age 35, married to George Neal in the 1920 Census in Campbell Co., TN, on the same page with the Cash and Mandie Claxton family.

Family 3 TYE, Henry Clay, b. 18 Aug 1861, Knox County, Kentucky, USA
d. 14 Jul 1934, Corbin, Whitley, Kentucky, USA
(Age 72 years) Marriage 16 May 1909 Campbell County, Tennessee, USA
[1, 5, 9, 13, 14] - Mary Ann Moore's first husband, William Henry Claxton, Sr., died in 1897. (Source: Well documented murder.) In 1909 she married Henry Clay Tye. (Source: Tennessee marriage license.) Tye's first wife, Elizabeth (Bishop) Tye, died in 1904. (Source: Gravestone)
Mary Ann is listed as having born 9 children in the 1900 Census, and 10 children in the 1910 Census.
In the 1910 Census, the Henry Clay Tye household includes Henry and his wife, Mary Ann, 4 of Henry's sons who are +10 years of age from his first marriage, Henry's son Henry L. Tye who is 4 years old. Living next door are 2 Claxton children +10 years of age from Mary Ann's first marriage who are listed as Henry's step-children, and Dewey Claxton, age 7, also listed as Henry's step-son.
Dewey Claxton's mother is assumed to be Mary Ann (Moore) Claxton because he would be her 10th known child per the 1910 Census. His father is unknown because Mary Ann's first husband was dead. It is doubtful that Henry C. Tye was the father, as 2 years later Tye had Henry L. Tye out of wedlock and gave him his surname, and Dewey had his mother's married surname.
Henry L. Tye's mother is unknown because (1) his birth date of 12 July 1905 on his delayed birth certificate is in agreement with his age in the 1910 Census, (2) Elizabeth (Bishop) Tye died in 1904, and (3) Mary Ann (Moore) Claxton Tye's 10 children per the 1910 Census are known.
