Greetings, I am seeking info on the black Arthur Irby (36y), wife Mary, and their next door neighbor George Brown & wife Lizzie, found in the 1920 Census for West Virginia, Raleigh Co, Coal City township, Hot Coal Precinct. I suspect the above Arthur is the same Arthur Brown who married Pattie Chappell in 1904 in Halifax Co VA. In the 1910 Census Arthur (26Y) and Pattie were listed with their 3 female children in Halifax Co Virginia. The name of the mother of Arthur was Sallie Brown. When Arthur married Pattie in 1904 he used the Surname Brown, and listed his mother as Sallie. I found Arthur (14Y) in the 1900 census for VA. living in the household of Sallie Brown, with his siblings. Arthur left (spelled abandoned) Pattie and his children in VA, and went alone to W.Va. I suspect that Arthur Irby and his next door neighbor George Brown in the 1920 West Virginia Census were related to each other.
