Yes, he was born Lester Campbell Ragsdale son of Jessie Thomas Ragsdale and Lola Lee Lesly. He was born 30 Jul 1911 in Limestone Co., TX. His siblings are William Clarence Ragsdale, b. 20 Feb 1914 in Limestone, Neoma G Ragsdale b. abt 1914 (no further information on her), and Willie Truman Ragsdale.

Lola Lee Lesly was the daughter Oscar Lee Lesly and Neoma Vesora Crabtree. Neoma Crabtree was the daughter of John Hurd Crabtree and Mary Lucinda Redden. John Hurd Crabtree was the son of William Carroll Crabtree and Mary Ann Estes. Mary Ann Estes was the sister of my 3rd great grandmother Missouri Estes who married Pickens Patton. They were the daughters of Hiram M Estes and Lucy Richardson.

I have lots and lots on this family as I am writing a book on the descendants of Hiram M Estes and Lucy Richardson.

This is my son's account. If you want to reach me, write to my email address nanabear39@comcast.net
