NOTE - Samuel was listed as "Senior" because of the 14 year old Samuel living with him who was actually a nephew. Technically, there were no Samuel Juniors. In addition, on the 14 year old Samuel's card, it indicates that his mother was born in Iowa which was the same for the rest of the McLaughlin children. His mother was actually born in Texas but apparently the enumerator missed that point.
