He was white and the Hood name was the maiden name of his wife, so that wouldn't have been who raised him. All we know is that we have drawing of a young woman that was said to have been his mother and on the back it said Eliza Stephens. We don't know his fathers name, or Eliza'a maiden name. I spoke with my mother this morning and she said that the April 1946 death date could very well have been him, as she would have been 19 and she said that she knew she was a teenager when he died. Also, she did know that he died in Jefferson County. She also told me that she believes that he is buried at Alliance Baptist Church cemetary in Short Creek AL, as she can remember going to 'decoration' there.
