Ola's name in Social Security records is Olie, but his name on his grave and his Texas death record is Ola. One city directory spells the name Ollie, which is the name he used in the name of his company in the 1947 directory, if they printed it correctly. On some official records, the spelling Olie is found, and I see that several genealogies also use this spelling. His name is spelled Olie on his WWII draft registration and his Social Security records. This made it seem like the proper one to use. But he had signed the WWII card only with his initials, as O C Whitaker, leaving some doubt. Then I found the WWI draft registration in which his actual signature is Ola Whitaker. This is most likely the original given name. I have not been able to find his birth record to confirm how his name was registered at that time. I will follow this as more definitive. The SS records tend also to use the more formal names, though that is not totally consistent. Since SS in this case has Ola that supports the earlier WWI record. The 1920, 1930 and 1940 censuses also report his name as Ola, meaning this is likely how he gave it to them. It is quite likely that he later did switch to use the more masculine Ollie, as found on his business and office name reported in the City Directory. I note that this information would have come direct form him, while the WWII draft card is all typed, indicating it was entered by a clerk after Ollie stated the name orally.

The 1910 census reports Amanda is Jason's second wife, and they have been married eight years. But in fact, Amanda is Jason's third wife. This Manda is Amanda Elizabeth White, who had first married a Moore, as we see in the 1910 census from her children's names in the Forsyth household, even though that census reports this is her first marriage. The first wife was Emily Christian, and the second was Livonia Reed, whom Jason married in 1898 after the death of Emily. Details about Emily's death and burial are unknown. Many genealogies identify Amanda as the same Emily Chirstian of the 1880 census, naming her Amanda Emily Christian. This is not supportable in light of the records we have found. We find Amanda or Mandy Elizabeth White in the 1910 and later censuses as the wife of Jason Forsyth. Earlier records show uer as the wife of Frank M Moore, then a widow in 1900 Infant twins of Frank and Mandy were buried in the Red River Cemetery in Hooks, Bowie County, Texas, named Frank, after the father and Charlotte. Records for this destroyed cemetery are in the the Texarkans Genealogical Society archives. Amanda married Frank M Moore in 1892.

Likewise Martha, reported here under her middle name Marcena. However, born between them was Elijah, and here he is reported born in Tennessee, as were all three in 1870. Two younger children are reported born in North Carolina. Catherine's mother Polly White is living in the household. With some varying reporting, it would at first appear to be thoughtful, and thus probably accurate. But the birthplace of the three oldest certainly was Tennessee. The birth of the two younger children might indicate that the family moved to North Carolina about 1865, and that James died there. The discrepancies in the birth states of the older children makes that report less reliable. Family sources report that James died in Jefferson County, Tennessee. There is also a story that Catherine walked to North Carolina with the children to because the government (county? state?) was going to take the children away from her. Perhaps they were in a state of destitution after James' death, and the county was threatening to take the children form Catherine. Living next door is John Reed (Reid) and his wife Parthena. John is 70. After the death of Parthena, Catherine will marry John. 1880 Federal Census, Madison County, North Carolina, 10 June, Upper Laurel, District 131, page 9, No Hse/Fam #s Reid, John W M 70 Farmer and Merchant VA NC NC Reid, Parthena W F 50 Wife Keeps House SC SC SC John H Reed & Catherine White Edmonds Reed Marriage to Catherine White 1897 14 Jul Age 50 Madison Co.

Note that the death certificate records the intended place of burial as Boone Cemetery. The only Boone Cemetery I can find reference to is southeast of there in Burnsville, Yancey County. There are several references to her burial on the state line. Shirley, an Edmonds researcher I have worked with on the Edmonds-Strange lines, has been onsite and recorded her grave side by side with that of her mother Polly White. Polly is buried on the Tennessee side of the border and Catherine is on the North Carolina side. So this has to be some cemetery other than the Boone Cemetery in Burnsville. One genealogy makes reference to "Divide Cemetery" in Sam's Gap, North Carolina. But for its source documentation, this genealogy links to the North Carolina Death Index and Katherine's birth certificate. The former reports nothing related to a cemetery, and the birth certificate reports burial as in Boone Cemetery (and seems to indicate Flag Pond as the location). This is just south of Flag Pond and near the border. With this clue for Divide Cemetery I was able to find an online listing for that cemetery. The page header places the formal address of this in Flag Pond, Unicoi, Tennessee: "Divide Cemetery of Sams Gap, TN-NC Border, Unicoi County, Tennessee." The online listing or the cemetery places it thus: "The Divide Cemetery [also known as State Line or Sam's Creek Cemetery] is located off Rt. 23W at Sams Gap at the NC-TN border, about 5 miles south of Flag Pond, TN. From the town of Erwin, take I-26 towards Asheville, NC and exit Temple Hill Road. This is old US Highway 19-23W which splits at Ernestville, TN. Continue straight on US 23W heading east towards Flag Pond for about 20 minutes. The cemetery is about 150 feet off US Hwy 23W. " -- Divide Cemetery Listing, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnunicoi/dividecemetery/Dividecemetery23W.html The online listing has this entry for Catherine, spelled Katherine, next to her mother. Note that it also comments, from some unstated source, that her husband (Cam Edmonds) died about 1876. This may be based on the report in Thomas Edmonds' birth certificate that John Reed was his father, and the census reports of his birth around 1876-1877 (though his death certificate gives an alternative birth date in 1872, possibly due to a misreading of info, when it was typed in).

A note from a descendant reports an error on the 1900 census. Note that the census reports Elzie as a Daughter and Female. The descendant reports that Elzie is, in fact, male. "I just wanted to comment on Elzie which is listed as a female and he is in fact a male (born 1881) as he was my grandmother's father. I have his death certificate listing Cyntha Green as his mother and George T. as father. Your explanation helps greatly as this has been my brick wall." -- Comment on Elzie White on Ancestry genealogy, smileytex1, 12 May 2013 Also note that the middle initial in the 1900 census record is N, while some family sources, with no documentation cited, report his middle name was Hampton, as reflected in the following genealogy report for him. Also the census date of birth is 2 years earlier in the census from that reported in this genealogy. His age was reported on his marriage record in January 1904 as 22. With birth in April (age 22 in April 1903), this would match birth in 1881, matching neither the census nor the genealogy. His later WWI registration reports the birth date as 5 April 1882.

She was living in Ravia. They were living in Ravia when they were enumerated in the 1910 census, with their son George R White. The census reports that they had a previous child who did not live. 1910 Federal Census, Johnston County, Oklahoma, 18 April, Ravia, District 120, Page 2A, Cherry St, Hse/Fam #28 White, Elzie H Head M W 29 Married 7 years OK KY MO Railroad Laborer Rents [b abt 1881] White, Ellen F F W 22 Married 7 years 2 children/1 living b TX TX TX [b abt 1888] White, George R Son M W 2 Single OK OK TX [b abt 1908] In 1918 on his WWI registration Elzie Hampton reported his father as George Robert White. The identification of the Elzie White in the 1900 census may be wrong. Or the name of the head of household there may be George R White instead of George T White as reported by the enumerator. However, all other records correlate with the name George T or George Thomas White. His son was named George Robert, but he would have been only about 10 in 1918. So it does not seem so likely that Elzie would have reported him as the contact person. Later indications that Elzie was illiterate may account for this variation (see below in WWII record). The clerk was probably sloppy is writing what he was told. His WWI registration reports that Elzie lived in Marshall County, Oklahoma. The residence place is reported as Linn, which does not appear on the list of towns in the county. But the location does appear on a 1909 map of the county. It is in the northeast corner of the county.

He is usually reported with the middle initial H, though the 1900 enumerator somehow got it as Elzie N. (And also reported Elzie as a daughter and female.) Genealogies that have his full name have the middle name as Hampton. His name in the WWI registration was Elzie Hampton White. But in his WWII registration, it is Elzie Henry White. Note also that the WWII card is typed, not handwritten, so the clerk may have made an error. The signature on this card makes it clear that Elzie could not read or write. He signed this card with a Mark of what looks like the initial E. This may account for the variation in his name. The clerks likely did not persist to clarify and confirm his full name as they wrote it.
