Data source is the 1990 book, "Moomaw-Mumma-Mumaw-Mumaugh Genealogy" compiled by Robert Austin Moomaw (deceased).
Bob Moomaw's book lists Clarence's middle name as "Walker", howeve onr his WWI draft registration his name is recorded as "Wilkes" and Clarence personally signed his name to the form, suggesting that he probably provided that name himself. Therefore that is the name I have used in this database.
