    The hand of the enumerator is almost illegible.  Some of these names are indecipherable, and I cannot see how the ancestry transcriber got some of the names they came up with.  I have tried to determine something close to the possible letters intended by the enumerator.

    The name transcribed by Ancestry as Patric is actually Felix.  This was an older brother of Tilman Porter Cohron.  The age here of 19 in 1920 matches the grave information for F L Cohron in Throckmorton Cemetery, Throckmorton County, Texas.  The dates given there for birth and death are 1901-1951.  Family sources indicate the full name of Felix was Felix Lacy.  F L married Marie Jackson, while Tilman married her half-sister Pauline Mae Jackson.

    Many of the details of the members of these families have been analyzed in email discussions and joint research of Marion Mixon, Wanda Tate Cox and Orville Boyd Jenkins.  This involved
    family information, physical investigation of cemeteries, posted records from censuses and other public documents, cemetery registers and analysis of these and other sources.
    Tilman's father's name is virtually unreadable here, appearing to have been overwritten.  Ancestry.com transcribes it as Tera, but in 1930 his name is clearly W S Cohron.  His mother in 1920 is Caldonia J, but in 1930 she is called Carolina J.

    In 1930, we find Tilman married to Pauline.  From family sources we know this to be Pauline Mae Jackson, daughter of Toliver and Elizabeth (Griffith) Jackson of Parker County, Texas.  From their ages we can tell they have been married a little over a year.

    Notice that both the Texas Death Index and the Social Security Death Index spell his name Tillmon.  This may indicate this was the formal way it was spelled, though it appears as Tilman in censuses, and in family sources as well.

    My distant cousin and co-researcher Marion Mixon discovered that Tilman and his wife Pauline were buried in different cemeteries:
    "It appears Pauline Mae and Tilman P. Cohron are buried in two seperate locations.  Reseach indicates she is buried in Curtis Cemetery Weatherford, Parker Co., Texas."
    -- Marion L Mixon, email 9 July 2008

    Tilman is buried in Millsap, Parker County, Texas, where the SSDI reports his last residence.
