Message Board Post:
Thanks, Bill. That definitely seems to pinpoint Avis as the mother of LaWayne and Walter
Badger. (Walter Harris Chaplin is Walter Badger's uncle.) Do you have any tips on how
I can find out what happened to WBC I's daughter, Marian F. Chaplin (b. about 1901 in
Georgia) and her daughter, Ruth Marian Chaplin (b. about 1928 in Florida)? They seem to
have vanished into thin air after 1945. The last record I can find about them is the 1945
Florida census, where Marian is age 44 and listed as "Marian Reed," living with
James L. Reed, age 32 (b. about 1913 in Florida), and Ruth is 17. But I can't find any
marriage or death records on any of them.
Also, if there's no father mentioned anywhere for Ruth Marian, is it safe to assume
Marian F. was unmarried when she had her?
Thanks much,
Kathleen
