Wow
Interest in this thread amazes me. I think we will get an answer.
A few other things I recall from my prior work. Arch Persons, the father was much older than his mother, who married at 19 to escape her life in Alabama using Persons as a ticket to a better life. Persons, however, was not the right ticket. Relatively well heeled but a bit of a drifter. Both the player and the father had family ties to Monroeville, Alabama.
I like the grandfather theory and was not aware of the Arch III and Arch IV references. If the 1897 date is correct, then Arch IV would have been a 27 year old when Truman was born. Arch III could have fathered Arch III in 1897 and still played ball in the 1908-1912 period.
Thanks for your interest and help. Hopefully we can turn this from speculation to a verifiable connection between Persons and Capote. Or not.
