106	viii.	Adelle ROBERTS was born on 15 December 1912 in Memphis, Shelby, TN.²⁹⁹ She died after 15 December 1912 at the age of 0 in Memphis, Shelby, TN.²⁹⁹ I have no death record - this is supposition only.

Also birth record says that mother had 9 children, 8 surviving. That adds up only if this supposition is correct - before the last were born, Mary Fields Roberts had had 7 children - it takes a set of twins to make 9.
