Notes
- "She and Jesse had an infant son named Garvin who died before his first birthday. No source for this other than Fannie's recollections as she referred to him as Baby Garvin. He was never forgotten. Next child was Frederick (Fred} Gooch born April 25, 1908. Next and last child was Vivian Gooch (My Mother), born April 19, 1910-Died Oct 3, 1999 in Conroe, Texas."

The 1910 census reports an age requiring a birth date almost a year later than that reported by Venita and other family sources.

Other family sources also report the 1908 birth date. It seems odd that his parents would have reported him a year younger than he was. It could be enumerator error entry.
