Notes for Samuel Eugene & Minnie (Family)
This family is only in my database to document that Uula Downing’s husband Samuel E. Archer had remarried by 1904, so I am not entering their children.
(I did a nationwide search for 1910 and 1920 on Sam* Arch* born in Missouri. There was another Samuel Archer in Holt Co., Missouri of approximately the same age with a wife Anna, but he was listed with the same wife in 1900, so he couldn’t be the one who was married to Uula Downing. Plus he had parents’ birthplaces listed as Tennesee and Indiana. This one fits like a glove, not only the age and birthplace and both parents born in Missouri, but also the middle initial E, and the fact that his marriage to Minnie was listed as a second marriage.)
