Person:Mariah Middleton (1)

If this is the correct birth record it is confusing. Mother is listed as white, but baby is listed as black. Is Indiana Thompson the same person as Easter Middleton Thompson? Sarah Bryant was Walter Thompson's (white) wife, so she was not Indiana Thompson.

   FamilySearch - LYFQ-X35 ID number for Viola Mae Payne 1904-1929 only listing her by her married name of Payne. See https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Viola_Cooper_%282%29 . This researcher says her parents are Nannie Hockins LYFQ-X7Y and William Johnson LYFQ-PGZ BUT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SOURCES to back up this claim. This researcher also says that Nannie Hockins' parents are Henry Hockins G3KT-7YR and Mariah Middleton G3KT-6NK. Again, NO SOURCES. Mariah Middleton is listed as having been born in 1858 in Pensacola, Escambia, Florida, United States - NO SOURCES CITED.
