I don't know the complete names of my grandmother's siblings, they all being children of Levi Curtis LeSourd (spellings vary) and Rachel Anna Sleeth.My grandmother's sister was named Jennie and their brother was William (Bill).I don't know of any others at this time.
My grandmother, Mary LeSourd (no middle name, apparently), married Perry Wilmer Reed in 1907, and their children were:
Wilmer Reed, b. December 10, 1909.Died soon after.
Mary Elizabeth Reed, called Elizabeth.b. December 10, 1909 -- Wilmer's twin.d. October 16, 1967.
Robert Richard Reed -- I don't have his date of birth.
Perry and Mary adopted my mother, Martha Shideler Reed, daughter of Perry's brother Benjamin Franklin ("Frank") Reed, after Frank was killed in a railroad accident in 1917. My mother always considered Perry and Mary to be her parents, and I didn't even know she'd been adopted until I was 10!
I'd be tickled to share more info.E-mail me at [email protected].
Thanks, cuz!
