Notes for Oscar Goines
It is known among the Goines family, as told my Mary Melissa (Dawson) Goines, herself, that Oscar's natural father was a Doctor Hollis. (Origin of his father yet unknown as of Nov 1997) He adopted the Goines name for himself, though there is no record of official adoption by William Lawrence Goines.
His older sister, Florence Goins, born in 1898 was indeed a Goins. In a 1900 Census Record, I discovered Mary Melissa living with her father, Thomas Dawson and sister Henrietta Dawson. Oscar was born after the census was taken, so he is not recorded. The census records her as a Widow with one child, Florence Goins. So apparently, Mary Melissa was married to another Goins, widowed, then conceived Oscar, and later married William Lawrence Goines, with whom she had other children.
