Classification: Query
Surnames: Parnell, Raymer, Deal
I am following this line:

Archie Eugene Parnell / Deal [explained below] son of,

Walter Parnell who married a Myrtle Raymer,

William E. Parnell married Sarah Jane "Sally" Kindley [also seen on her children's birth documents as Sarah Jane Smith and Sally Smith],

Pink Parnell [Pless Pink Parnell and/or P. P. Parnell] married to Jane Sossamon and/or Martha J Griffin and/or Treassy Unknown.

What I do know...

Walter Parnell and Myrtle Raymer were married for a short time and had a son named Archie Eugene Parnell born in 1923. Walter was from Concord, NC and left for Danville, VA after some trouble with the AFL/CIO. His wife Myrtle Lee Raymer Parnell stayed in Concord.

I am assuming there was a divorce because Myrtle married a Mr. Deal. I found Myrtle on the 1930 Cabarrus Co. Census as Mertie Deal. Archie was then raised by his grandparents, William and Minnie Raymer, also as seen on the 1930 Cabarrus Co. Census.

Archie did not know that the man his mother was married to was not his father. He went to school, and was known as, Archie Eugene Deal. He never found out his real name until he applied for a job at Martin Aircraft and needed a birth certificate. He never had his name changed and continued to live by the name Archie Eugene Deal.

I am trying to figure out who William E. Parnell's real parents were. It appears that Pink, also seen as Pless Pink Parnell is his father, but which woman is the mother?
