    [Note: the death record of Nelson gives his parents as Bina Norcross and Clarissa Thomas, so it is possible the clerk misunderstood and recorded Clarence Thomas thinking the name he was given was the bride's father, rather than the groom's mother? Nelson's age should have said 50: perhaps a digital 50 in the original record was misread as 30 (an easy mistake to make) and this incorrect age reported in words rather than its original form? It seems unlikely that a man of 50 would pass for 30.]
