Thank you in all your efforts. Lena's son's 1940 Humphreys County MS census - Charlie and Gurvie Hale Jones is the only way I can find Lena Spivy in 1940. She lives next door to them; yet I have no idea how to access the census by her name. I have posted her sons family census to her. I write all this to point out on this census; Lena indicates a state of birth as it should be reported. Then at the bottom of the census, her name is listed as an exception or something with another state of birth. I am uncertain if this has any significance. Thank you again.

1940 census in the past, anyone could answer the questions, and if the answer was wrong, oh well. 1940 census there were a few new questions asked which would help in genealogical research.
1. Name of informant: (Column 7): An “X” is placed by the name of the person giving the information. This would then allow knowing the credibility of the information given.
2. Individual present or absent (Column 7): Those who usually live in the home but currently not there were to be marked with “Ab” as being absent from the home.
lena picked for supplemental questions-asked of HER specifically-hopefully more accurate answers.
the familysearch search engine has her indexed as lena n spiny

In the 1900 Hinds County Census for Charley and Lena Sharp Jones, Lena's sister is the home with them and indicates her birthplace is Illinois I believe. In some of the census reviews I encountered a Arkansas census with a community or something like that called Illinois. I intended to go back and look and the census again simply for the community name... or mis name. Is it possible Grace was actually born in Arkansas 'The beautiful scenery of Benton County and the water flowing gracefully down Illinois River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Highway 16 to Arkansas 59 stretch of Illinois River is 5.1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so don't forget that rivers in this state are less demanding....' An 1880 census may be Lena's family; however Lena and Gracie were not born in 1880. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
