- Henry raybon's Application for a Social Security # (497 KB)
As you can see, according to the application Henry used his mother's name and listed Reed Williams (Red William)as the father. Even though it's spelled wrong other times he has said the name as Reed. He also listed his mother but wrote it in the wrong spot and erased the information and rewrote it. It appears he listed her as Katie which is short for Catherine.
