  Harry Vanscoy - b. 1927, WV.  Am unable to find any other information on this Harry Vanscoy who only appears in the 1940 Census.  It is unknown where he was in the 1930 Census. 

The name Harry could be a middle name.  Or at the time I was updating this page in 2020, this Harry could still be alive in his 90's.  There is also the possibility that this Harry was not actually a son but someone else's child adopted by Erastus and Vernia.  In the obituary for Bernice above, there is no mention of a brother named Harry.  There is also the possibility that this Harry died young and was not known to the grandchildren of Erastus and Vernia.

This Harry is NOT a Harry Leroy Vanscoy who was born Dec 28, 1926 and died in 2007.  Everyone on ancestry.com has made this assumption, which is wrong.  This particular Harry Leroy Vanscoy's father was, James Alba Vanscoy, not Erastus.
