Your info on children of Jesse Leath and Bonita has some discrepancies. Haseltine and Connie are the same person. Constance Haseltine. Sybil Hortense. Lois Virginia. I believe that Aunt Othel was Faye Othel.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for information on JL Munson, Jr. I believe he was a friend of my father and played guitar professionally in and around Trinity, TX in the 50's. I have a vintage guitar that once belonged to him and I would like to be able to trace it back to his life story.
