• Notes

  1920 census index lists a Charles Spong (brother) and Jane Spong (mother) living with Ben and Ethel. These Spongs are listed with Irish heritage, which does not match up with any of my other information. Upon closer examination, it appears a page of the census is missing. Ben and Ethel Spong appear at the end of page 1, page 2 is missing, and then this Charles and Jane appear at the top of page 3, with a ------- for last name (same as previous). So their last name was not Spong, it was whoever was at the end of page 2.
