Research Notes

• There is a current suggestion to add Joseph Echols as father of this man and while data suggests it is true, there is a major issue with the suffix, Jr.added to his name.
• More research is needed because there are sources for a man married to an Elizabeth, both men dying in Lynchburg about the same age, one was a junior, the other not. Trying to sort through as there are 2 profiles on FamilySearch but currently not comfortable merging them there either as Findagrave is the only site to have them connected and they have no source for doing so.
