  Notes	1900 US Federal Census: in Buckhart, Christian County, Illinois (all HUNSLEY, all born Illinois). Thomas B (born Feb 1870, 30, farmer), Lucelia L (born Aug 1871, 28, married 8 years, 2 children, 1 living) and Frances L (son, born Oct 1897, 2). The previous entries on the schedule are for Thomas's father Thomas Hunsley and Thomas's brother Charles. 1910 US Federal Census: in Buckhart, Christian County, Illinois (all HUNSLEY, all born Illinois). Thomas B (40, farmer), Ella L (38, married 8 years*, 2 children, 1 living), Francis L (11) and Lorin E (son, 8). Also a cousin, Lucille STAPLES (9, born Illinois). * the entry for 'years married' is definitely '8' but beside Thomas's 'years married' it says '18'. Given the different names of Thomas's wives, I wonder if he married twice. Other entries on the schedule are for other members of Thomas's family. 1920 US Federal Census: in Buckhart, Christian County, Illinois (all HUNSLEY, all born Illinois). Thos B (49, farmer), Lil (wife, 48), Francis (son, 21, high school student) and Lorne (son, 18, garage laborer). Also a servant, Lucile STAPLES, 19. Other family members on same page. 1930 US Federal Census: in Buckhart, Christian County, Illinois (all HUNSLEY, all born Illinois except Francis' wife).

Also Helen A HUNT (mother in law, 80, widow) and a hired hand Bert YOUNKER. The next entry on the schedule is for Thomas's father; the one after is for brother Ernest.
