Note: Pertaining to Wyvetta Laverne (Hayden) Cox's Father.
Throughout her life she never knew that her Birth Certificate Father was not in fact her Father and that her real Father was Walter "Red" Williams. Also when you see the comparison of Walter's Sister Mary Ethel Williams and my Mother there is little doubt as she looked almost exactly like Ethel.
