Notes
- Robert's name is recorded by his uncle William (Bud) Jenkins as RobertE Christian. Most censuses have his name as only Robert. The 1920census reports him as Robert Lee. His name on his WWI draftregistration card is also Robert Lee Christian. I wonder if his fullname was Robert E Lee Christian. I have seen many men with that name,named after the great Virgina general, and usually the E is only aninitial. This seems to be confirmed in the Social Security DeathIndex, which records his name as Robert E Christian.

In Robert's WWI Draft Registration, we find a common phenomenon; thebirth year is noe year off from other sources. This says the year was1899 instead of 1898, as in most public and family sources.
