There is some uncertainty about Ada's birth date. Her death certificate says it was 11 Mar 1892. This would have made her only 15 at the time of her marriage in 1907, though her age is listed as 24 on the marriage record, and only 14 when her first daughter was born in 1906.

The 1880 census lists her as 4 months old on 4-5 Jun 1880, listing her birth month as February. I'm leaning towards this record being the most accurate as far as the year... how would she be showing up if she didn't exist yet?

She was the daughter of Martha Klyce and an unknown Mr. Nelson, who were never married. She was raised with her mother and stepfather, William Grady, and little brother, Eddie Lee Grady.
