Notes:

Spelled Claricy on the 1900 census. Pam Mahon shows she married Robert Scurlock Jr, but is likely confusing her with Carrie Gladys Conn, who married Robert Scurlock. It could be that Carrie was married to a Scurlock, as the informant on the death certificate of her brother, James Patrick Conn, was a Mrs. Carrie Scurlock.

Notes:

In her annotated transcription of the Gravel Hill Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary notes that his headstone was inscribed "None knew thee but to love thee" and also shows that he had a Military Marker: Gram Berry Conn - Texas Cpl Co. D 143 Inf 36 Div WW I. She notes that he was a son of William Henry "Bill" Conn & Florence Ferguson - w Mary Williams - Gram had a twin brother, Green Berry Conn that died as a baby, buried in LA.
