Notes
- One genealogy provides information from Ambrose's birth certificate. Oddly, the genealogy reports birth in Oklahoma (no doubt folloiwng the censuses, a we all did), yet provides a Bowie County, Texas, record.

One genealogy reports marriage information but withholds the wife's name, because she is stil lliving. I have not found the online marriage records, though if it was in Bowie County, Texas, as reported, it should be there. Also, no specific date is given, which makes it a little fishy, to use a technical term.

Wife's name withheld on genealogy source
The ages reported in these two censuses do not match. The birth date in his Social Security records is 6 May 1910, so the age reported in 1920 was rounded up. He was not 10 years old until May after the census was taken in January. One or more genealogies give the nickname Jake. THis explains the initial J in his SS records.
