Birth1876 Custis Lee Jett was born in 1876 in Bristol [then Goodson], Washington County, Virginia.3,1 
Marriagecirca 1902 She married Charles F. Hagan circa 1902.4 
Cens-191015 Apr 1910 Eight years after their marriage Custis and Charles were recorded on the 1910 census for the independent city of Bristol, Virginia with two children, daughter Pattie (6) and son Charles (3). They were also providing a home for Custis's widowed mother, Louisa. The family home was on Solar Street, which appears to be the same street (but different address) where Custis's childhood home was located. The enumeration also recorded the presence of a governess in the home. Charles stated that he was employed as a bank president.4 
Cens-19202 Jan 1920  Two more children were added to the home between 1910 and 1920: daughter Irene E. [no doubt named for Custis's deceased sister] and son Hugh. Charles described his occupation as "estate trustee" on this census.5 
Cens-193016 Apr 1930  As the census enumerations continued every 10 years Charles and Custis continued to be enumerated at 213 Solar Street in Bristol. By 1930 Charles appears to have formed his own company as his occupation that year was listed as "president of Hagan Estates". Daughter Patty, age 26, worked as a typist for "motion pictures", and son Charles was a lawyer. The younger children were still in school. Justis's mother, at 76 was still with the family as was a Betty Stoffel, age 57, who described herself as a boarder [but who was probably a relative].6 
Patr-Soc1913 Mrs. Hagan applied for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1913, based on the line of her great grandfather, James Buchanan. Although she was accepted for membership (lineages were not carefully verified at that time), her claim that James Buchanan was the son of Patrick Buchanan has not held up to further research. Mrs. Jett's application mirrors that of her cousin, Nancy Zimmerman Carter, who applied for membership in 1909.1
