The Kentucky birth index lists Clait Morris, born 23 May 1911 in Pulaski Co., mother’s maiden name Laura Alfrey. (The county may be an encoding error similar to all the ones that index Rowan Co. as Breathitt
11; there is no other indication that the Cleve Morris family spent any time in Pulaski Co.)
