Edward was the son of William Ormond White and Ida Thompson Slocomb. Clare’s great-grandmother Agnes was the daughter of Howard George Ford and Mary Douthat Stribling.

Clare’s maternal grandfather was Stanford Glenn Barton (the son of Stanford Woodrow Barton and Dorothy Camille Glenn). Clare’s grandfather Stanford was born in either Tennessee or Missouri. Clare’s great-grandfather Stanford was the son of Price Matthew Barton and Susie Catherine Mize. Dorothy was the daughter of James McDuffie Glenn and Camille Mae Bell.

Clare’s maternal grandmother was Bobbye Jean Maxwell (the daughter of Roby Wesley Maxwell and Allie Rue Hayes). Bobbye was born in Tennessee. Roby was the son of Jesse Monroe Maxwell and Viola Bowman. Allie was the daughter of Ellis Clayton Hayes and Armena Teaner Alexander.

    Looks like her Ancestry profile is public. Seems like the closest Native is on her mum’s maternal side, but there is also Native further back on her dad’s maternal side.

      So it looks like there’s no Scandinavian or Native American.

    When looking at her relatives, it seems like Oscar L. Johnson and Arealia B. should be her grandparents. But in Oscar’s obituary, no “Clarence Johnson” is mentioned:

    Moreover, I believe Arealia was actually black, making it ever more strange that she is linked to Clare on some records. I think this is her:

    Could anyone figure out who her grandparents actually were? Or what’s going on.
