The 1930 U.S. census was also searched for David Conner, with the possibility that he was either missed by the census taker in 1920 or missed by those who compiled the index. One possible enumeration was found in Greenwood County, South Carolina. This David Conner was fifty-three years old, black, and born in South Carolina. He had a wife and seven children.

David might have moved from this area before 1917/1918, he might have died before that time, or he might have enlisted in the military already. Enlisted men obviously were not required to register for the draft.
