Unfortunately many of the census records of 1890 were destroyed. Although some may be found occasionally at local courthouses or libraries or other archives, the federal records except for a few states are not to be found.
The 1900 Census finds George and Sarah renting a farm in King George county, Virginia and living with 3 daughters and a lodger.
- George Dunlop head 39
- Sarah wife 32
- Maria dau 8
- Martha dau 3
- Janett dau 2
- Daniel Williams lodger 60
Fortunately for us the column #10 on the 1900 census asks - # of years married and George and Sarah have entered 10. So we can see that they were married about 1890. Let's see what 1910 has in store for us. By the way, George is on line 79 if you're having a problem with the handwriting.
In the 1910 census we see three more children. 9 year old Izora then 2 boys 7 and 4, named after their grandfathers. We see that they are no longer renting and are now living adjacent to other some Grymes farms in King George county, Virginia. It sure would be nice if any of you have any photographs of these farms, you might ask Marie or Virginia I have a feeling they might just have something we can scan and post here. Maybe uncle Junie has some too. Do any of you know any cousins still in the area?

In the 1920 census we find George and Sarah living with the 2 youngest boys and Charles H. Gray and his wife Izora. Still in Virginia.
In 1930 which is the last census we can access to date, I found Uncle Charlie and aunt Izora living in East Riverton, New Jersey. on Land avenue right around the corner from where I was brought up. Hopefully from here you guys can help us fill in the blanks.
