Research Notes

Regarding her Last Name At Birth:
Wilson may be her married name and not her Last Name At Birth. There is a Social Security record for Lenora Wilson, whose parents were Frank Lewis and Rosetta McQuire of Mississippi.[6] If this can be proved to be the same person, her Last Name At Birth should be changed to Lewis.
