Research Notes

The following people may need profiles:

• Albian Covey
• Amanda L Covey
• Forest T Covey
• Menard H Covey

Except for the 1900 census record in which Clarence "C" was 7 years old (in which case he was born about 1893), I can find no support for "C." The original profile had a birth date of 21 Oct 1918, which is his death date. In any case, it is clear that there was only Clarence "A." I am changing this profile, and it should be merged with the profile for Clarence A. Couch-3906 20:19, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
