Details and sources

Record note

What this record rests on is Hill’s Raleigh (North Carolina) city directory [1929] (1929); Hill’s Raleigh (North Carolina) City Directory [1930] (1930), naming this maker and nothing more. Entries from 2 books stand under this name, and the software judged them likely the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. Nothing else on this site confirms it and no claim has been invented beyond that naming — not established, until someone can tell us more.

The books behind this record

This record draws on 2 sources, both read from machine text. The count weighs how well each source was read, not just how many are cited. A stack of half-read sources does not outweigh one page read properly.
