Notes:

Per the 1900 Texas Census, his middle initial was J, and he was born in Texas. However, according to his descendants, his middle name was Everett. They also list his place of birth as Indian Territory. At the time of the 1910 Federal Census, twelve year-old Earl was living in Comanche County, Oklahoma, and enumerated with Levi and Sarah Hoskins as a foster child. His father, Ralph, was living in New Mexico at the time, with his new wife and his younger brother Ernest. One of Earl's daughters told Charles Strong that Earl disliked his new stepmother, whom he called "the old lady" and ran away from New Mexico. The relationship, if any, between the Strong family and Levi Hoskins is unknown.

At the time of the 1930 Census, Earl and his wife, along with their five children, were living in Chandler, Grady County, Oklahoma. Living with them, as well, was his niece, Agnes Strong, and her four month old daughter, Peggy Lynn.
