Alvarita "A.R." (McCully) Whinery is not listed in the 1880 Alvarado, Johnson Co, TX census along with her parents James & Martha (Wilson) McCully who are listed as being 26 & 23 years of age respectively and were married in 1872 at Guntown, MS.
Alvarita married R.L. Whinery 1 November 1892 at Bosque County, Texas.In the 1900 Washita Co., OK census Alvarita is recorded as being born August 1874 in Mississippi. She is also recorded as having 3 of 4 children still living.A search of the handwritten 1910 Washita Co., OK census records (comparing neighbors from the 1900 & 1920 census) looking for R L Whinery & family found no mention of them living there at that time.Alvarita is "etched into stone" as being born 29 August 1863 as found on the South Burns Cemetery marker.So the options are either Alvarita (Whinery) McCully was:(#1) born in the mid-1870's in Mississippi to James & Martha McCully and was living elsewhere or "accidentally overlooked" by her step-grandfather James M Henderson in 1880 census. This means the tombstone is incorrect.(#2) the child of someone else born in the mid 1860's in Mississippi and raised as their own by James & Martha McCully. This means the the tombstone is correct but census records are incorrect.(#3) born after 1880 and married at 10 years of age.The younger sister of Alvarita, Sarah Janet McCully, was born 18 December 1875 in Johnson Co., Texas. This means the McCully (plus Henderson and others) family relocated from Guntown MS., between the time of their marriage in 1872 and the birth of their second child in 1875. I believe Alvarita (McCully) Whinery was born in the month of August in either 1873 or 1874 in Mississippi to James & Martha McCully and, at 2 or 3 years of age, was deemed to be too young to make the trip to Texas with the rest of the family. The tombstone is off by a decade.
