David Livingston Asbury Vicie Christian Sarah "Sally" Louvisa Asbury

David Asbury and "Sally" (Sarah) née Bean were married when Vicie was bon but this doesn't necessarily mean that they are VIcie's biological parents

I say this based largely on having examined census data of 1900.
Vicie was born in Noiv 1887. She was 13 in late 1900 which means she was actually 12 during the US census, yet she is absent from both David's household > he had remarried and Sally's household > she is listed as the divorced 40 year-old living with her parents in Avondale.

It's a complicated matrimonial picture. Vicie was two going on three when the 1880 census was taken. Where was she then?

DAVID and his 2nd wife Missouri were in McDowell"
1900 United States Federal Census for David Asbury
West Virginia
McDowell
Sandy River
District 0075
but VIcie was not there

DAVID's ex, SALLY/Sarah is nowhere to be found.

add to the above:
Vicie Christian seems to be absent from both the 1800 and 1900 US census data... anywhere in West Virginia.
The unsourced allegation is that she was born in Mingo County which is not that close to the homes of the ASBURY or BEAN families.

Thacker, Mingo County, WV & Garland. McDowell are 44 rather treacherous miles apart.

When it comes to the birthplace of Vicie, the family more likely to have been involved some way is that of the McCoys...
Missouri Kathryn Asbury was married to a McCoy when Viicie was born. This man is Albert James McCoy, Sr. , whose father was the illustrious Lt. Selkirk 'Kirk' McCoy of (emphasis added) MINGO

Selkirk was, shall we say colorful: "Selkirk McCoy was sentenced to life imprisonment for the death of several Hatfields"

but I digress:
Let's get back to the 1887-1910 tie period and try to find where VICIE was living. I've already made multiple stabs at that without luck.

Let's remember as well that VICIE married young. 1904
Marriage of Henry Christian and Vicie Asbury
McDowell County

This would seem to suggest that if SALLIE/Sarah was her mother that both of them came back from Mingo County during the 1890s but that by the 1900 census (when VICIE was 12) they weren't living togthether.

Parenthetically, none of SALLIE's children were living with her.
SALLIE is recorded (in the 1900 census of McDowell) as having had four children.
we might surmise that these were
1) Francis Kirk Asbury
2) Amandie Robinson (Asbury)
3) Martha Turley
4) and VICIE : Vicie Christian
Again, in the 1900 census : all four of SALLIE's children a recorded as still being alive.

I would first GUESS that VICIE is SALLIE's daughter but that DAVID is not her father.
Why?
As a 12 year old she not living with her mother in 1900, she would be expected to have been living with her father DAVID... but she wasn't.

This suggests a foster-child situation for VICIE.... but, search as I might, I cannot find her, either as a a "VIcie" or as a "Louvice" or as a "Louisa"...

I'd love e some help here.

Another item: SALLIE disappaars from any records after the 1900 census.
No date of death, no remarriage, nothing

another item: SALLIE's children marry and move West but SALLIE has so far not been found by me in West coast census data of 1910 or beyond.

VICIEs death: August 22, 1968 (80) in Centralia, Lewis County, WA

VICIE's residences
Residence: 1910

 Verndale, Lewis, Washington, United States

Residence: 1920

 Verndale, Lewis, Washington, United States

Residence: 1930

 Verndale, Lewis, Washington, United States

Residence: 1935

 Same Place

Residence: 1940

 Glenoma, Lewis, Washington, United States

Let us now look at VICIE in Verndale WA in 1910:
Name Vicia Christian
Age in 1910 23
Birth Date 1887
[1887]
Birthplace West Virginia
Home in 1910 Verndale, Lewis, Washington, USA
Sheet Number 2b
Street State Road
Race White
Gender Female
Relation to Head of House Wife
Marital Status Married
Spouse's Name Harrisson Christian
Father's Birthplace West Virginia
Mother's Birthplace Kentucky

According to this, her mother was born in Kentucky (!)... yet SALLIE was definitely born in West Virginia.SALLIE's parents are:
Sgt. Jesse Weber Bean (CSA) and
Nancy Jane Bean . None of that couple's children were born in KY.

So, for purposes of argument, let's ten assume that SALLIE is not VICIE's mother, but that DAVID Asbury is.
Who then would DAVID have impregnated in early 1887, 9 months before Vicie's birth?

candidate #1 is Missouri:
She was born on August 20, 1863
KY (so she is a match with VICIE's allegation in Washington State census data)

Checking her other children with DAVID
Fountain Asbury
was born February 27, 1889 in
Iaeger, McDowell
This is a scant 14 months after VICIE's birth... but it "works".

I will therefore change VICIE's birth parents to DAVID and MISSOURI today.
Missouri Kathryn Asbury
