  10. [S891] Andrew J. Baker household, 1910 U.S. Census, Madison County, Texas, There appears to be an error as the children were actually born in New Mexico. Their birthplace was recorded as Mexico-Eng and it looks like someone took that to be the country of Mexico and show an immigration date of 1909. That is probably the yearthey moved back to Texas.
