Notes for AMBROSE MANN GURLEY:
Ambrose Mann Gurley is a different story.  He is found in the 1900 census of Greenville County, South Carolina, as a 
single man, boarding in a house. 
After that I cannot find him either in the census or elsewhere.  I did not find him in the WWI draft registration.  
It appears that he died before the draft and maybe before the 1910 census.  I only did a cursory check of 1910.
