What the source supports

That Mrs. Thomas N. Johnson of Clarke County was named in 1923 as the mother of Rosa Lee Bayliss.

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her daughter's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's name. Her daughter has no record here, so no kinship record is made.
