Where the Sources Disagree

• birthplace — Jackson County, West Virginia (Maddox Family History and Maddox Family History Charts) · Wirt County, West Virginia (Supplement: Vesta Maddox and Roy Enoch, husband no. 1 summary) — the chronicle uses Jackson County, West Virginia.

  The supplemental family sheet gives Wirt County while the two principal histories give Jackson County. Both are compiled sources, so the existing reading is retained pending an original birth record.

• mother — Minnie Swain (Drift Run United Methodist Cemetery Index; Supplement: The Parents of Roy Offa Enoch, qualified closing statement) · Clara Etta Wilcox (Supplement: The Parents of Roy Offa Enoch, heading over the child list that includes Roy) — the chronicle uses Minnie Swain.

  The supplement's child-list heading implies Clara Etta Wilcox, but its closing statement says Minnie Swain is believed to be Roy's mother. The cemetery abstract independently names O. and Minnie Swain Enoch as Roy's parents, so Minnie is used while the contradiction remains visible.
