Fred Stokes‘ funeral program lists his place of birth as “Nash County, Wilson, North Carolina.”

Which was it?

Nash County, but probably the far southeast part of the county, bordering Wilson County. So I feature it here anyway.

The Stokes family migrated to Montgomery County, Georgia, between 1888 and 1892.

1900 census of Lothair township, Montgomery County, Georgia.
