You know, Grandpa at the age of 20 and the Smith girl at the age of 19................Then, I finally found my Father's Late Birth Certificate. He had not had a birth certificate until 1976 or thereabouts, so he had to have one for his Social Security and in getting one he had to prove his birthday, etc. So, by golly, guess who he got to verify his age? Orlean Smith, the same Orlean Smith who is the son of Annie Smith. And, in Orlean Smith's statement, he verified that Francis M. Hendrix was my Father's true birth Mother and she appears as such on my Father's birth certificate. And, I'm pretty convinced that Francis M. Hendrix was the daughter of Lorenzo Dow Hendrix and Katherine Benson. I've attached the same Canadian Township 1910 census ( different page ) that lists the Hendrix's ( they are about middle page on the sheet ). BTW, the whole darn bunch of them, the Benson's, Hendrix's, Barnes's, Payne's are all buried at Crowder Cemetery ( With the exception of my Father and Mother who are buried at the cemetery in Hugo, OK.). Thanks for you quick reply. Any help you may be, will be very deeply appreciated. Larry
