Every exported claim about this person: what it says, how strong its best source is (tier 1 = original record image, 5 = unsourced lead), its review state, and the sources that carry it. Source links open the workings page for that citation.
| Claim | Predicate | Summary | Status | Tier | Review | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
claim:martha-jane-taylor:name:1 | name | Martha Jane Taylor The 1850 census names Martha as George Frisby's wife, and the 1860/1870 censuses place Samuel with Martha after her remarriage to William Crumpler. Taylor and the fuller Martha Jane form come from the FamilySearch profile and remain supported rather than confirmed. | supported | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

claim:martha-jane-taylor:parent-of:1 | parent-of | parent-of Samuel A. Frisby Samuel appears as a child in Martha's 1860 and 1870 Crumpler households after her earlier 1850 household with George Frisby. The multi-census household chain strongly supports Martha as his mother, but no reviewed vital record names the relationship directly. | supported | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

Conflicts and open questions
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.
