Matagorda County marriage records have a marriage for Andrew January and Odettia Jackson on April 20, 1930, which is puzzling since they are listed as married on the 1930 census. The census enumerator was to record only those in the household as of April 1, 1930. The enumerator reached Andrew's home on April 16th and listed them as married. His occupation was general laborer. Andrew and Odettia were living on Morton Street in Palacios at the time of the 1940 Census. His occupation was noted as a gas station porter.
