The 1930 Federal Census for the Town of Franklin, Southampton Co., Virgnia, District 22, taken April 16, 1930 records John O. H.

John has completed 1 year of high school, Grace has completed 2, Pope has completed 4 and John A. 1 year of high school. Also in the household are 2 lodgers. Interesting that as of April 1, 1935 all Daughtreys report they were living in the same house; however, the county and state of that location is listed as Isle of Wight for the dad, Haifax Co., NC for Grace, and Southampton for the kids. This is most likely a reference to their location of birth.
