As I stated you will need a copy of Minnie Stephenson's death certificate, has parents names on it, place of burial and/or copy of her application for her to get her Social Security number to find out who the parents of Minnie Lee White were. The same would apply to Walter Sumpter, born 1912 died 1982 last residence Wetumka, Hughes Co, OK. Death certificate filed in Austin, below is link to Vital Records to find the form. The Application for social security is in Baltimore, MD, providing the form below. You are going to spend about 45.00 to get these forms. http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi Date of request: 11 Aug 2008 Social Security Administration OEO FOIA Workgroup 300 N.

Box 33022 Baltimore, Maryland 21290-3022 Please send me a photocopy of the actual application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5--Social Security Number Record Third Party Request for Photocopy) filed by the person listed below.
