Notes
Willie Fleming Cox said her father was born 12 Mar 1866 in Chunky. This same date is on his headstone. His age and state of birth vary in the censuses, but the earliest report (1880 census, probably reported by his father or mother) is consistent with Willie's report. William's obituary states that he was born in Lauderdale County, but this is assumed to be incorrect.
William's daughter Willie said that he was born in Chunky, Newton County, MS
Lauderdale County, Mississippi1915William was elected Circuit Clerk of Lauderdale County, Mississippi in 191510,14
William C. was a Shriner, and a member of BPOE.2
