  4. ↑ When mother married Milton Pitt, Early remained and worked with his grandparents and eventually Larkin adopted him, making his name officially Early Ernest Gyger.

    From the notes of Floyd and Arlene Gyger:

    "Grandma Pitts, the grandmother of Early Ernest Gyger, was rocking the baby (Early Ernest Gyger) when his true father, Will Wellington came to see his son. He never got to see the baby. Early was six months old and Will Wellington had come to take his son and Tabitha Pitts (Early's mother) with him. Grandpa Pitts chased Will Wellington away and he never did get to see the baby. Will Wellington, Early's father, was killed in a dispute over water for cattle and was buried at Tyler, Texas.
