Is Booker Prewett the mom of the kids? And what are the odds that this is my Luther Prewett (who may have had his siblings, George and Susie, mistakenly listed as his parents on his death certificate)?
I am having trouble proving anything. I know that Luther Prewett was born in Kentucky and died in Illinois. I know he married Josephine Lucas. I know he had five children, Wilbur, Nora, Elbert, Gobel, and Joseph. But I have come to realize I have no idea where he "comes from". I really need to find out more.
EDITED:
So Booker is the mother of the younger ones according to this 1900 census where she is living with George and he is listed as her son.
