Marvin "Cotton" Hamilton appears in 1920 census with William Slyvester Hamilton. Looks like his child, but the age is way off. Doubtful that he is W.S. Hamilton's brother...as he father died...and his mother had no other Hamilton children. So maybe Marvin "Cotton" was Edna's brother??? We do not know Edna's last name nor parents/family. ------------------------ Feb 4, 1920: William S Hamilton Age: 21 years Estimated birth year: 1898 Birthplace: Arkansas Race: White Home in 1920: Quapaw, Ottawa, Oklahoma View Image Roll: T625_1481 Page: 32B ED: 127 Image: 0402 1920 married to Edna M from KS age 18yrs old (father IN, mother KS) with a child Melvin/Marvin (cotton), 1 8/12 old born in KS or AR (father AR, mother KS)?.
