Notes for Ralph Oliver Hollings:
Taken from a marriage license affidavit: Ralph Hollings birth name was Ralph Hollingshead. His mother
also spelled her name Anie Hollingshead not Annie Hollings. At the time of his marriage , his mother was married to Terrell Creekmore.

I have found out that he never had a birth certificate. According to his social security death certificate he was born in 1901, but he always claimed he born in 1892. His death certificate also says that he was born in 1892.

I have found out from a phone conversion with his daugther, Rachel Grantham, that he changed his name because he was mad at his father.

I have found him 1920 Mississippi Census Records. It listed him as a Creekmore. In which was his stepfathers name.
