Life History

Other facts

Notes

• The 1920 census reports that Adolphus was born in Texas, and other records indicate that the siblings born before him and after him were born in Erath County, Texas, where the family was living at the time of the 1920 census.
  
  But a detailed genealogy of the family reports he was born in Sugden, Jefferson County, Oklahoma.  The Social Security Death Index reports the same date as the genealogy, but reports no place of birth.  The California Death Index, however, does report that the birth was in Texas.
  
  Adolphus Lee Cohron

  The genealogy reports one source for this Oklahoma birth place in the One World Tree genealogy collection on Ancestry.com.  One World Tree includes 7 genealogies, six of which report this same Oklahoma location as the [place of birth.  The 7th has no place of birth.  None, however, report any source documentation for this place of birth.  I did find one which reports that the place where Adolphus married Lilly Dicky was Sugden.  It could be that this one confused the place of marriage with the place of birth of Adolphus.
