Notes
- Loretta Gregory Gay records this name as Charlie Bluford, based on family memories. 1920 Garvin County, Oklahoma, Federal Census records show his name as Charles B., age 38. Social Security also records his name as Charles.
In 1930, Charlie is married and in his own household with Annie four houses down from his father Dock. An oddity occurs in the listings onthis page. Both Dock and Charlie are given the middle initial of G.Dock was also listed as Dock G in 1920. The family do not know wherethis G comes from. For Charlie, we know his name is Charles Bluford,documented as Bluford or initial B in several sources.
Charlie is listed as Chas G. Charles and Annie's oldest child is Vivian, at age 9. It appears that they got married in 19120, after the census of that year.. In 1920, Charles B is listed as living in the household of his father in the same locale of Elmore Township.
In 1930, the census still designates their page as in Elmore Township, but I notice that Ancestry designates their location as Elmore City, whereas in 1920, Ancestry designates this as Elmore Township. In this census, the place of birth of Charles' father is changed to Tennessee, whereas it has previously been Alabama. This also happened with his brother Tom's entry in the 1920 census.

The family records and the Social Security Death Index agree that Charlie's birth date was 25 December 1881. This census, however, give his age as 46. It should be 48, since he would be 49 in December of 1930. In 1920 he was reported as 38, which would match the proper birthdate.
