George Douglas showed me a copy of the family bible page that has his birth record that says he was born Augest 2, 1904. A copy was set to the GRG out in Califorina. That is bulletproof as the US government accepted family bibles as proof of birth for black people. Many southern states refused to register black births into county records until it became mandatory in the 1930's. Blacks were considerd near slaves until the early 1960,s when Jim Crow laws were abolished. It is up to the GRG if the make him verified/unverified or just sit on the evidence. It will become important to them if the guy that is No 1 dies and has no backup as the case is now. What is known now is he is in the 1910 cencus, 1920 cencus, and listed in a family Bible as being born Augest 2, 1904. Three early life documents.the Minimum required by the GRG for their verification. He should at least be listed as unverified so more people know about him.The more people that know about him the more research can be done.
