Thanks for the information. I will see what I can find out for a death date for John Fountain.

OK...that might clear up who belongs where in the family. I had originally been linking my George up to Charles all along since Charles and Rachel showed up on the death certificate for George. It made sense to me, since they both died in Midland and George showed up on the early census with them.
After George's first wife died though and he remarried, he had stated that his father was John and his mother was Rachel. I then shifted my search to John and Rachel, because whereas the death information would have been provided by his son, his own marriage information was provided by himself which should prove to more accurate.
