I’m hoping that someone can help me solve this mystery. Z C, as he’s sometimes listed in documents, was born about 1855 in Mississippi and died 23 Apr 1923 in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma.
In the 1860 census he is in Bethlehem, Marshall County, Mississippi, with his parents. In 1860 he’s in Waterford, Marshall County, Mississippi, also with his parents. I have been unable to find him in any census records until 1920, when he is in Oklahoma, with his second wife, Mary.
The mystery: Where is he between 1870 and 1920? I have information from others that include his first wife Lola Mont Swinney (1861-1952), his three children Harman Lamar Poe (1878-abt 1964), Minnie Dove Poe (1879-1959), and Thurman Allen Poe (1888-1979). Of course I’m still looking for documentation of his marriage to Lola and the births of the children.
