[It is said that Thomas named one son Arlie Clinton and four years later named another one Clinton Arlie. Arlie and a son whose name was spelled Clehton appeared in the 1930 census. However, a birth record for a son born c1926 (census age of 4) named Clayton, Clehton or Clinton has not been found. It seems that Thomas and his family may have moved from Caldwell to Avery county about the time this mystery child was born and therefore his birth may not have been recorded in either county.

A death certificate for Arlie Clinton exists. See his record herein for that information.] Clinton Arlie Coffey and Callie Marie Smith were married on 26 November 1954 in Lenoir, Caldwell Co., NC.35524 Callie Marie Smith was born on 13 December 1928 in West Virginia.
