    LKH note:
    Looking for more documentation to confirm.

    Find a Grave gives her maiden name as Pruitt
    Of Clara and Richard Mullins' five daughters, 4 of their records in Kentucky Birth Index give Clara's maiden name as Pruitt, but one, Bernice Cordia Mullins, gives mother's maiden name as Spivey.

    I have not yet found any marriage for Clara prior to her being wife of Richard Mullins in 1930, so that is not where the surname Pruitt comes from.

    I have, however, found that Clara's mother Marvella Barnes married David Spivey in 1905. Clara was born in 1901. It appears that Clara became a part of Marvella and David Spivey's family and took the surname of Spivey throughout her life. I have not found any information about her biological father other than the surname of Pruitt.

    Another possible clue.
    In the 1900 census Marvella (age 22), seamstress, is living in Livingston in the household of David & Mary Wolf. Mary and Marvella were sisters.
    Next door is the family of James & Mary Prewitt, whose household includes two sons, John (age 20) and Joseph (age 8), and two daughters, Clara (age 12) and Ellen (age 9).

    This may be one of the reasons I have not yet found any record with exact birth information for Clara.
