 General Notes:
The surname of Viola and her parents are both highly in question as the 1900 census shows Viola married and living with her widowed mother. Her mother's name is shown on the census as Martha Walker. If Viola's surname was also Walker, then the records are all correct and the researcher that showed her surname as Florida is wrong. However, it is possible that Viola's surname was Florida but her mother remarried after Viola's birth.
The biggest confusion comes from the fact that the other researcher shows her mother's name as "Sarah Crawford" but even if she did remarry, her given name would not change from Sarah to Martha. Obviously something is not correct and more research is needed. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
