Looks like good prospect.

Comments

Where did you get that information? I really would like to know.

Thanks!

I think this is the same 1900 census I found also. If so, it only shows "Howard Odom" as a servant at the age of 18 - not a  son. I believe George is ( probably ) Howard's cousin. Only wish I could find out who his parents and/or family is.

Thank you very much for what you have already done!

Answer 2

The 1900 census looks like George and Martha are his possibly brother? and wife or other relative but not his parents. Highly unlikely that he was born when his father was age 7.  (More Odoms in adjacent households)

Found other records, but not parents.
