Notes
- The Green-Tatum family know this person as Cloma. This is the name reported in most censuses also. Other family information matches also with husband and children's names.
The 1900 census reports one child still in the home of Samuel S and Nancy Elizabeth Tatum. Her name appears to be written as Colema, perhaps Colima. No vowel has a dot like an i, but the transcription of this name in Ancestry.com seems in error as Colenia. I can find no reference to a name like this after 1900, under Colenia or possible variations that this written name could have intended.
Tatum, Samuel Head W M Jul 1835 20 SC SC Unknown Farmer

Tatum, Colenia Daughter W F Sep 1883 GA SC GA
The birth date (given only in the 1900 census) is Sept 1883. This matches well with the estimated birth date by age in the censuses of 1920 and 1930. It is likely that the child in the 1900 census is the same daughter known in later documents as Cloma.
Further, the 1930 census lists her as Cloma C Brundrette. It is possible that the other name in the 1900 census is represented by the initial C given in 1930.
Green-Tatum family tradition knows the husband of Cloma Tatum as Will. The family name was phonetically uncertain, but is firmly established in public documentation as Brundrett.

Note that in the 1930 census, the name of the family is changed by adding an e. I have not found additional documentation to determine if the family themselves had formally changed the spelling, or if this was just the way the enumerator wrote the name.
