I've learned that he changed his name to Henry Williams and that his parents were dead before he was grown. From the census he was born around 1900 in Lee county, AR. He moved with the Chinese family to St. Louis, was a bartender, lived on Lafayette St. He was an uncle to Cleola Higgins Anderson Clarke. He was Catholic and died somewhere around late 50's early 60's. His sister, Pearl, was Clea's mother and died at age 20 when Clea was only 2. I'm stumped trying to find out what Henry and Pearl's parents name was. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've been told a variety of possible surnames for Henry before he changed his name to Williams but can't prove anything.
