Andrew was widowed in 1920 and listed his occupation as a "Sta." Engineer for the railroad.  He was living with his now married daughter Blanche (see below for the 1920 and 1930 census data).  Her obituary appeared in the Frederick Evening Post, dated 31 July 1912:

In 1910 they were again enumerated in Mount Airy, Carroll County, ED# 98, sheet 13B.  William was still farming and gave his age as 50, Laura V. was now 46 (she again stated that she had given birth to 3 living children).  Their two youngest daughters, Norah E., age 15 and Edith A., age 13 were both still at home.

In 1920 William and Laura were ages 60 and 56 respectively.  They were enumerated in Mount Airy, Carroll County, Maryland, ED# 82, sheet 11A.  Also listed in the 1920 household was their daughter, Edith Grimes.  Edith was 23 and married, however, her husband was not listed in the 1920 household.

3.7.3.4 Sarah Harrison, was born in about 1863 in Maryland.

Harrison, was born in about 1865 in Maryland.  In the 1900 Federal Census of the 8th Precinct of Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Maryland, ED# 298, sheet 7A, Grafton was married and headed a household consisting of (Grafton and Grace both stated that they had been married for 8 years; Grace stated that she had given birth to 3 children, 1 of whom was still living; her parents, John and "Sarrah" both stated that they had been married for 28 years; "Sarrah" also stated that she had given birth to 1 living child) address listed as 1518 Charles St.:

In 1910, Grafton and Grace had relocated to the Woodville District of Mount Airy, Frederick County, Maryland, ED# 76, sheet 2A.  I believe that her father was widowed (his name is unreadable) was also listed in the 1910 household.  Grafton was still working for the railroad and listed his age as 45.  Grace was 35 and stated in 1910 that she had given birth to 4 children, two of whom were still living.  The two children listed in the household were:  Erma, age 13 and Rosalie, age 8, both born in Maryland.

In 1920 they were again enumerated in the Woodville District of Mount Airy, Frederick County, ED# 86, sheet 8A.  Neither of their two daughters were listed in the 1920 household, however, her father was again listed, a widower, age 72 years.  They also had a granddaughter, Isabell R. Winbrenner, age 4 years, born in Maryland, listed in the 1920 household.  Grafton listed his occupation as an engineer for B & O Railroad.

In 1930, Grafton and Grace were still living in Woodville.  Their granddaughter, Isabell, was still listed in the 1930 household at age 14.  I did locate Grafton's obituary, however I did locate an advertisement for the sale of his home and a listing for an auction of his estate in 1940.  The two administratrices of the sale were: Rosalie Harrison Giorgetti and Erma Curtis.  Their two daughters were:

3.7.3.5.1 Erma Harrison, was born in November 1896 in Maryland.

---

3.7.3.5.2 Rosalie Harrison, was born in about 1902 in Maryland.

3.7.3.6 Lurena Mildred Harrison, was born on 11 July 1867 in Maryland and died on 27 April 1936.  Lurena married Thomas Frank Gosnell on 24 September 1888 in Carroll County (her name was listed as "Renie" M. Harrison on the marriage record) he was born on 12 March 1863 in Maryland and died on 24 July 1945.  They are both buried in Morgan Chapel Church Cemetery in Carroll County, Maryland.

The 1900 Federal Census of Freedom District, Carroll County (ED# 127, sheet 11B) is a little difficult to read, the following is what I was able to decipher.  Thomas, was age 37, and listed his birth month as March, his occupation was listed as a farmer.  "Renie" , listed her birth month as July.  Their children in their 1900 household were:  Tyson E., age 10, born in September 1889; Georgia E., age 8, born in August 1891; Willard F., age 6, born in June 1893; Claudia M., age 4, born in December 1895 and Andrew T., age 2, born in December 1898.

In the 1910 Federal Census of Berrett, Carroll County, Maryland, ED# 80, sheet 14A, their household listed (Thomas and Lurena both stated that they had been married for 21 years; Lurena also stated that she had given birth to 7 living children) all birthplaces were recorded as Maryland:

#287  290  Gosnell, Thomas F.   Head    46    Farmer  Home Farm
                                 Lurena    Wife    42
                               Tyson E.   Son      20    Laborer  On farm

                               Andrew T.  Son     12
                                 Eva    Daughter    8
                           Edna E.    Daughter     2

I thought that they were finished adding to the family, but Thomas and Mildred L. (as she was recorded in 1920) added another daughter in about 1912.  The children listed in the 1920 household were: Willard F. age 26; Andrew T., age 22; Eva, age 18; Edna E., age 12; and the new addition to the family--Jane M., age 8.

In 1930, the only child still listed at home was Jane M., at age 18 (Andrew was unmarried and listed as a head of household next door).  Their children were:
