Notes for NOLAN B. FRAZIER:
Apparently when Lula was giving birth to Nolan she was with " Aunt Bessie" during the birth. Traditionally the person in attendance at the time of childbirth becomes the "namesake" of that child. By Bessie being a female, Nolan was given the middle initial "B" in recognition of her presence at his birth.
(Could this be the Bessie Ligon who married William McFarland?)
