This could not possibly be a direct link to the birth parents because of the date but thought it is interesting that the names came up together in Edgefield SC ...possibly ancestors of some sort?

there are census for these 2 but never any children listed

Marie Nicholson Saint Andrews, Richland, SC abt 1913 South Carolina Inmate

Could you tell about when the Marie Inez Hill Nicholson was born and which is her maiden name..Hill or Nicholson.
Also is there a possiblity that she is the actual birth mother? Or at least a blood relative.

About when was William Roath born?
Is your father still alive? Which name did he go by?

If he is not alive, is this him? If it is him, you can send for his SS 5 Application and see what he put down for parents.
