  • Notes  Married:
    • I haven't found any record of the marriage between Samuel and Goldie. However, she is living with him in the 1930 census after his wife's passing in 1928, and Samuel's 1936 death certificate shows her as his wife. When Goldie also passed away in Florida, she was buried in the same Florida community where Samuel's & Clara's daughter, Thelma, and her husband, Tarzan Atkins, were buried. — Footnote: Although one might think they were married by "common law"; neither Virginia nor West Virginia has ever recognized common law marriages except in special circumstances involving a common law marriage legally documented as taking place in another state (which was not the case).
