Might he have been adopted? At the time of the 1930 census, Charley and Annie did not have a six year old son in their home. However, a 5 year old Nephew, Roy C. WOODS was living with them. Perhaps Roy C/Robert Charles could even be the same person.

Robert married Ruby Helen Dickerson on 8 Nov 1945. Ruby was born on 29 Jul 1927 in Wiergate, Newton County, Texas; died on 6 Apr 1997 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Jasper, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
