Research Notes

There was a 14 year old Robert Cooper (black) working in the blacksmith shop of Charles' older brother George in 1910 as well as Gene Lane (17 Black) and Wesly Reeves (13 Black) who were working on George's farm. More research is needed to determine whether 14 year old Robert and 23 year old Robert are the same person:
