The best person to resolve this with is Jack Goins.His email is online in numerous places.The Clinton Manis story is interesting.That would not surprise me, but Clinton Manis was murdered during the Civil War by Iredell Willis, so he cannot be the father of most of the children, and certainly wasn't her partner for eight years.Abija and Nelson Manis had sons named Clinton, but they were too young to be the father of Elizabeth's children.In fact, Elizabeth was unmarried in every census, so you can only presume that at least some of the children were out of wedlock.I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that Jack found a reference to a Clinton Minor in a court document.Have you seen the actual death certificate (original) which names Clinton Minor?Does it really show Minor as the husband?
