Alice Reina "Arenia" Flowers does not seem to be the daughter of Wiley Flowers. He was born in South Carolina. Both of her parents were born in Tennessee from three sources. She had a brother Wiley. Did you intend the attached father to be the brother?

Suggest that she be detached from Wiley or you correct him to the proper place and date of birth.
