Notes
- Lois Marie Dodson is reported as the wife of Henry Durward McSwain in two family genealogies, and is the sole wife. These genealogies provide no documentation. I have not found any documentation of Lois as Henry's wife, but have found many documents and records confirming his wife as Leona V, but I have not discovered her maiden name. In searching for further information about Lois Dodson, I have found only the 1910 census of her, in Elk City, Oklahoma, the home of the McSwain family. She is only 4 years old here.
