Surnames: PERRY LESTER KINSON SCOTT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UkB.2ACI/4835.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Aurora, I noticed in this message that you mention a book about Prosper by Bill HAYS that may have information on Velta PERRY and her husband Cliff LESTER. You said that the book indicates three children. I only have record of two. Does the book elaborate? I am still trying to find info on Velta's mother, who died giving birth to her. The marriage license supposedly lists the woman's name as Evie KINSON. In other sources, she's listed as Ida. There was a KINSON clan which passed through Collin at about the time of Ida / Evie KINSON's marriage (7 Aug 1892) to James Willis PERRY (father of Velta). That KINSON clan was headed by Edward KINSON who later settled in Hood Co., TX. The only daughter of his that could be a match is one called Jane KINSON. If this book by Bill HAYS has any info on Velta's folks, I would be very interested. I also never found the fate of Velta's grandparents, Nathan A. W. PERRY and Ellen O. HOUSE PERRY. Their daughter, Lulu, died of measles in the Buckner Orphanage in 1888 and her obit stated that she was survived by a father and brother and a sister. The brother was James Willis PERRY, but who was the sister? So many PERRY mysteries. By the way, I have Robert L. LESTER's folks as Lewis LESTER and Elizabeth SCOTT. Best Wishes! Laura
