Orpha B. Shaw ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

The 1920 census shows Orpha Shaw living with G. W. and Jea J. Baughman and her relationship was listed as "daughter". That means perhaps she was previously married and that Baughman was her true maiden name. But her marital status was shown as "Single" and her age was only 16 at the time. I cannot figure out how her father would have a different surname unless she were adopted keeping the surname of Shaw. Sometimes the census form fails to indicate the full, true relationship and in this case it might have been "adopted daughter" instead of just "daughter".
