Yes I wondered about stage names too. I think I might have read something from John Hartford or Bob Carlin about him as well but I can't put my fingers on it right now.

<p>Thanks, Wes.....Not surprised that you had something. I did see the "Burnt Cork" entry but found that I may have had a typo in my original Google search string that prevented others from coming up, though I viewed them and still haven't found much more than a mention of his name. Still can't find him in ancestry.com nor could I find Clem Titus. Makes me wonder how many stage names differed from their legal names.</p>
