Lavelle Joyce

Notes:

Lavelle lists Clarence Joyce and Minnie Chambers as her parents on her marriage and social security information, but she's listed as the daughter of Chapman and Ida Chambers in 1930 while Minnie is working as a servant in Richlands. She isn't with Minnie and Clarence in the 1940 Census or with her grandmother who is living next door.

Was she the child of Chapman and Ida who was adopted by Minnie and Clarence? Or was she the daughter of Minnie and another man? Given her age, Minnie would have had this child when she was around 13.
