His wife's name I couldn't read. Maybe ?Nela, age 36, 2 years older than James. All born Ky. I don't believe any of the children were his: Daisy W. DUNN age 19 Bessie DUNN age 10 Charil DUNN age 7 male (Charles?) Damster DUNN age 2 male (Demster) I did not find a marriage record for James and ?Nela DUNN. In the 1920 census, James L. DUNN age 46 was married again. His wife's name was Nancy age 26. The son, Dempster, was 13 years old, and listed as James's step- son. Another step child is named Gladys Mae SUTER, age 4 years 11 months old (I think daughter of wife Nancy). It looks like James had no children, doesn't it?
