RESEARCH NOTES:

Research from descendants of his sister, Nancy Casey Miller, state that his middle name was Emanuel. Also according to research from this side of the family, the name of his father was Emanuel instead of Lemuel. This could be true but the name of Emanuel is found very little in future generations of the descendants of Charles A. while the name of Lemuel is very common.

His direct descendants give his name as Charles A. with the 'A' unexplained.

Bessie Miller Daughtry's research notes had his middle name as Amanual. She crossed out the A and substituted an 'E'.
