623	Personal correspondence from Edgar Seeley III, December 23, 2023 1920 Census: The two children, Andie & Robbie, were born in NC, not SC, on the farm of Grace King Hipp where the young family of Mack Herron King & wife were living; the deed for the farm is a NC deed, found in the Mecklenburg Co. Register's office. The farm lies in lower Steele Creek Twp., on the backwaters of the Catawba River, on Lake Wylie. The house lies 300 ft. from the border of York Co. SC. Between 1918 & 1920 the family moved to "Power Company Village" at the Catawba River Dam; this is actually in York Co. SC, and the next several children (Mack H.

He is now listed as 10 years behind his actual age. Nancy Grace Thomas is also listed 10 yea
