Looking for information on Clay J. Benn of Coffeyville, KS. He was born in 1889 in Arkansas. Mother was Olivia Francis Hyman, father was Henry Lewis Cain Benn. Olivia subsequently married Thomas Fulton Morrow of Montgomery County (Fawn Creek Township) on December 16, 1906. I understand Clay "got in trouble", changed his name to James Edward Ford - and left the state for California. I am looking for information on when and what the "trouble" was.

Can anyone help?
