Notes

In the 1950 US Census in San Diego, Page: 83; Enumeration District: 72-60, Charlotte seems to appear with daughters Priscilla, Donna, and Leslie, as well as a son, Jeffrey H, age 4. If he's listed with the correct age in 1950, it's highly unlikely that Donald Dunham is his father, as Donald died in 1944.

However, all of the daughters' obituaries mention a brother named Jeffrey H. Cutrer. Charlotte didn't marry John Cutrer until 1954. It's possible John adopted Jeffrey, but if he did, then who was Jeffrey's biological father?
