Notes for Nora Lee McBrayer
For some reason my database says that Nora died in 1994 in Clearfield, but I can't find any death or record for her in Kentucky, and the Social Security Death index lists a Nora Jones born 7-15-1901, SSN 277-62-1525 issued in Ohio, died June 1987 in Ohio, last residence zip 43782 (covers several small towns in southern Perry Co., including McCuneville and Shawnee.) This is the same birthdate for Nora McBrayer Jones that I had from the McBrayer genealogy book, I wonder if maybe it's the same person and she didn't really die in 1994 in Clearfield.
