Was Alfred A Mainess also known as "Dock" or was this a different person? I just found the 1900 census with the Alfred A Mainess Family in Greene Co., TN. It was a bit confusing since it was transcribed with the last three children with the surname of Weems but when I looked at the original page they were all Mainess. 1900 Tennessee, Green Co., CD 11, ED 39, [ancestry image 33 & 34), T623-1573, pg. 106 A & B, Sheet 17 a & b, 26 Jun 1900, Line 48, DW# 320, FM# 320.
