Research notes
Working notes from the research, kept verbatim — what was read, what it proved, what stays open. Many open with a line grading the parentage; what the grades mean.
Research note · 27 Jul 2026
PROOF CLASS: FATHER = DIRECT (4 Sep 2026) - the 1920 census states him SON of the head. MOTHER = ARGUMENT - the same sheet gives HIS father b. Texas and mother b. Arkansas, matching the head and the wife exactly; two columns, not one.
Audited 27 Jul 2026 - post-1850 spine, Phase 3 (ancestry/post-1850-plan.md). Parents were already attached here; this note records the record that EVIDENCES them, and ProofFather/ProofMother have been set to Proven.
1920 U.S. Census, TEXARKANA, MILLER CO., ARKANSAS, District 0071, enumerated 21 Jan 1920 (Ancestry coll. 6061 rec. 65337820; NARA T625). IMAGE READ 27 Jul 2026. Household as written: Temple, Tom L. - HEAD - M W 32 M - b. TEXAS - father b. Virginia, mother b. Virginia - Foreman; Hall C. - WIFE - F W 28 M - b. Arkansas - father and mother b. Arkansas; Hellen C. - DAUGHTER - F W 8 - b. Arkansas; LOUIS L. L. - SON - M W 5 - b. TEXAS - father b. Texas, mother b. Arkansas.
'Louis L. L.' is the indexer's reading of Lewis Latane. He is age 5 in Jan 1920 and born in TEXAS, matching [69] b. 12 Dec 1914 at Houston exactly - and the Texas birthplace distinguishes him from his Arkansas-born sister on the line above. The head at 32 matches [68] b. 1887 and the wife at 28 matches [48] b. 1891.
INCIDENTAL CORROBORATION FOR THE DEEP LINE: the head's parents are both recorded born VIRGINIA, consistent with the Virginia Temple origin worked out in temple-arnold-liston-junction.md. That is independent of anything in this household.
** EVIDENCE BASIS: read FROM THE IMAGE, not the index - an explicit 'Relation to Head of House' column plus household composition and ages. **
