I am searching for descendants of James
DeWitt LESLIE b. 1886 in Union
Springs,
AL. He and his wife, Irene Frobus Leslie, lived in the
Birmingham area from the early to late 1900's. Their son, Ira LESLIE, was b. abt 1914 and married Myrna H. (unk.) Ira was program director for several radio stations in
Birmingham, including WVOK, before his death in 1968. According to his obit, he had a daughter, Mrs. Diane
HERNANDEZ, of
Texas. Ira's sister, Mary E. LESLIE b. 1916 married W. L. ADAMS and they had at least two daughters, Kay
ADAMS MASON and Nancy
ADAMS WALKER. Mary LESLIE
ADAMS died about 1970.
I am seeking information on this family to complete my LESLIE family history for my husband's family (not for publication) and also in the hopes of having a Leslie reunion in the near future. I would appreciate any leads on contacting any of the family. If you prefer to contact me off-list, my email is
esleslie@bellsouth.net and I will also be glad to share my family research done over the last 20+ years.
