She is also listed with her son James in the 1910 census. [1254]

(The birthplaces don’t exactly line up with those listed in the 1900 census, but there is still a Kentucky connection and the age fits. Also, there is a Charles Basford listed in the 1920 Oklahoma census that would appear to line up with her son Charles.)
