Later turned his name around then shortned it to Tom. Also wasnt born in Arkansas. Also didnt die there. The 4 younger children all went to orphanage the two older Richard Earl and sister, were then old enough to be on their own. Have helped with original orphanage papers in exchange for info and got nothing in return, so sorry cant be of any more help. Just recheck your facts. Grandfather of Richard is from VA. Hope this can help.
