Working notes from the research, kept verbatim — what was read, what it proved, what stays open.

Research note · 27 Jul 2026
Audited 27 Jul 2026 - post-1850 spine, Phase 2 grading (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.1860 U.S. Census, SPRINGHILL, HEMPSTEAD CO., ARKANSAS, dwelling 720 (Ancestry coll. 7667 rec. 13095131; NARA M653_42 p. 794). Household as indexed: A D Fowlkes 27 - J D Fowlkes 24 - A P Fowlkes 3 - G D FOWLKES 1. Matches the attached parents Abner D Fowlkes and Josephine Derrick.CORROBORATION INDEPENDENT OF THE CENSUS: her own recorded name is GEORGIA DERRICK FOWLKES - the mother's maiden surname DERRICK carried as the daughter's middle name. That is evidence for the couple that does not depend on this record at all.** EVIDENCE BASIS: the 1860 and 1870 censuses record NO relationship column. This grading rests on household composition, ages and dwelling number as indexed - not on a stated relationship. That is a weaker instrument than a post-1880 census and is recorded here so the basis is never overstated. **
