• Notes

  He worked on the railroad according to the 1920 US Florida Census. Their might be 2 Samuel Shorts born in the 1883-1888 range that I could be mixing up in the records. However, none of the documents rule each other out if Sam's wife in the census records didn't know where he or his parents were born. If there is only one Sam Shorts in this time frame, he probably graduated from Rutger's University in New Jersey. In the 1900 census, he was born in Alabama as were his parents. In the 1920 census, his wife says he was born in WV and his parents in Virginia.
