1.5.5.2.2.3A.5A.5. Peyton Baker Washam b 8 Nov 1875 Union City, Obion, TN. Delete the reference to his wife Miss. Hardcastle. Peyton is a widow in the 1900 census living with his sister and his father, Anderson Washam, lives next door. There is a grandson of Anderson Washam living with him named Joe Washam b Nov 1892.
Nancy Zacchetti, 2000, wrote the:

"Social Security Administration for Joseph Washam's application. He is the grandson listed on the census living with Anderson Washam. The application states that he is the son of Dorothy Clipper and "Anison" Washam. Joseph's SS application has his date of birth as 10-20-1894, Mayflower, AR and his age as 47."

Anderson's older male children died before Joseph was born. We assume the father is Peyton Baker Washam and “Anison” is Anderson, his grandfather who he lived with as a child. Therefore, Peyton married Dorothy Clipper abt 1891 and Joe is their child. Dorothy died before 1900, since Peyton is widowed.
Child of Peyton & Dorothy:

Joseph d. 15 May 1956 Mayflower, Faulkner, AR & bur in Mayflower Cemetery. Audie died 11 Oct 1973 Mayflower, Faulkner, AR.
