Notes

  • The Chickasaw History reports that Charles Adams and Fannie Colbert-Green-Cochran had no children.  This source reports that they married in about 1879.  But the sources reports that Fannie married her next husband, Thoephilus East, on 13 May 1884.  But one of Charles' children, Charles, was born abt 1885, estimated fomr his age in teh 1910 census.  He could have been borni n 1884.  So it had previously appeared that he was Fannie's son.  Another child, Oliver, was born Dec 1881 according to the 1900 census.

    I had assumed this meant that Fannie and Charles had married about 1880 or 1879.  This matches Chckasaw History.  But it also appeared thatboth these sons were Fannie's. Fannie would have been about 50 when Oliver was born, possible, and a bit older when Charles was born, stretching it.  But if Fannie is not their mother, I do not know who the mother was, and the birth date for Charles Jr would seem to be wrong, ifthe Chickasaw History sources is correct about the marriage date of Fannie and Charles Sr.

    "She married Charles Adams circa 1879. (Charles Adams is #26911.) Shemarried Dr. Theophilus H. East in Berwyn, Pickens Co., Chick Nation, IT, 13 MAY 1884. They had no children."
