| Claim | Predicate | Summary | Status | Tier | Review | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
claim:george-frisby:name:1 | name | George Frisby The 1850 census identifies George Frisby with Martha in DeSoto County. Conflicting compiled sources give middle initials M. and W.; neither is preferred. | supported | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

claim:george-frisby:living-status:1 | living-status | deceased George appears as an adult in 1850; no exact death date is asserted. | supported | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

claim:george-frisby:parent-of:1 | parent-of | parent-of Samuel A. Frisby (hypothesis) Strong indirect household chain: George and Martha Frisby are together in 1850; after George's apparent death, nine-year-old Samuel Frisby appears with Martha and William Crumpler in 1860, and Dolfus Samual Crumpler remains in the stepfamily in 1870. No reviewed record explicitly names George as Samuel's father, so the edge is conditional. | conditional | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

Question
question:samuel-adolphus-frisby:parentage(open)Can a direct record name George Frisby and Martha Jane Taylor as Samuel A. Frisby's parents, and does George connect to Norman Frisby's Mississippi/Louisiana family? The 1850–1870 household chain supports George and Martha at roughly 85–90% confidence, but no reviewed source explicitly names both parents.
Next: Search DeSoto County, Mississippi probate, estate and guardianship packets from 1855–1860 for George Frisby's minor heirs Samuel and Mary, then deeds and Claiborne County Frisby records for George's parents or siblings. Do not connect George to Norman, Daniel, Alvah or Thomas Jefferson Frisby without a parent-naming record.
