Research Notes

Census records for 1910-1920 have not been found. It's possible he may have been living in Florida, where his wife was born and living in 1900. Family researchers indicate a marriage "cert" found on Ancestry dated 3 Feb 1916, but this researcher has been unable to locate the source, either in Florida or Georgia. It appears that his oldest children were born in White Springs, Hamilton County, Florida.

Sons of the American Revolution Application: He filed an application on 25 Jan 1931 as a descendant of Col Lewis Dupre.
