| Notes |
- Harry C Padgett was born May 29, 1912. I presume this to be in Kentucky since he lived there when he and Dorothy married and he was buried in Kentucky. See Figure 1 below.
In 1941 he was living in Waynesboro (Waynesburg?), Kentucky and his wife-to-be, Dorothy Kesterson, was living in Clinton, Tennessee. See Figure 2 below. They were married in Anderson Co., Tennessee on October 15, 1941, by Rev. J.L. Smith. Dorothy?s mother, Mary Kesterson, was a witness. See Figure 3 below. There is no evidence of Harry C Padgett serving in World War II. It is likely he did not as his tombstone is NOT of the style given to Veterans. See Figure 4 Below. Veteran tombstones are flat against the ground. Harry C Padgett?s tombstone is upright and large. Harry died May 21, 2001. His residence at the time was in Corbin, Whitley County, KY. He was buried in Corbin, Kentucky at the McFarland Cemetery. His tombstone is on FindAGrave website. See Figure 5. Another Harry Padgett lived in Hamilton Co., Tennessee. He was also married to a woman named Dorothy. He was older than our Harry C. Padgett. And had two children, Jean and Patrick, by the time the 1940 census was taken. Familysearch.org, a website maintained by the Mormon Church, lists a Harry C. Padgett as living in Corbin, Kentucky in July 2001, which was two months after his death. See Figure 6. It was likely his home or the home he was living in at the time of his death. It is interesting that Harry was issued a social security number from the state of California, which tells he was in California and probably applied for a job, therefore needing a social security number. See Figure 1.
I have not found a Harry Padgett in the census records. But I did find a Harold Padgett. It is possible that this is our Harry Padgett as Harry is often a nickname for Harold. See Figure 7. However, I cannot say with any certainty that Harold Padgett and Harry Padgett are one and the same.
Harry and Dorothy Padgett had two sons:
Joseph Paul (Little Paul to his aunts and uncles) and Elvis ____.
Paul was born:

According to records from McNeil Island, Washington State, Harry Cecil Padgett born 29 May 1912 was accepted for incarceration on December 28, 1935 after being convicted of Impersonating a Federal Officer. He was sentenced on December 5, 1935, after being convicted in San Francisco, California. With good behavior, he was set to be released on September 24, 1936. He was 23 years of age. Documentation is attached to this record.
