Notes

• The name James Mack Henry on a Find-a-Grave memorial seems to represent the husband of Martha Lee Gregory Henry.  James' birth certificate and Martha Lee's obituary refer to him as James Meek Henry.

  A birth certifricate in the name James Meek Henry appears to be for this individual.  I see that the bierth day is the same, but the year is one year off, which we have seen in several other cases of grave dates.  This is a delayed birth certificate, applied for in later years.  The birth certificate has the birth date as 2 August 1909, where the grave says 1910.
