Joseph Weber, age 92 is searching for his mother Vera Seagraves/Weber/Stone/ perhaps Willis. She was born April 16 1900 in Louisiana to Thomas S. Seagraves and Ada Rowand. She had two brothers Walter Dempsey Seagraves b. near Jonesboro, Louisiana and James Robert Seegraves b. 1895 in Clay, Louisiana.

Vera separated from her first husband Kenneth P. WEBER in 1920 in Kansas or New Mexico. Joseph (aka Virgil) age 4 was sent to a boys orphanage in Albuquerque, NM and his younger sister Mabel Inez (aka Marjorie Mabel) was given to a foster family in Potter Co, TX by the name of Horace and Claudia (DOBBS) GAITHER.

** Joseph Weber was reunited with his long lost 90 year old sister just one month ago. Now they really want to know what happened to their mother and whether they have any half siblings still alive.

Vera, by all accounts was going to come back for the kids. She never did. She married a 2nd time to Benjamin Hatchet "Joe" STONE in Deming, NM in Oct 1921 but she left that marriage by February 1922 after 4 months. Hatchet's divorce plea looks for her in San Diego, CA in 1924 as Vera STONE or Billy STONE. She never showed up for court so a "no contest" divorce was given to Hatchet in Central, Grant Co, NM.

On the 1930 Census of Beaumont, Jefferson County, TX I find a Vera Willis with a 4 year old son John W. She is listed as a widow and a clerk in a shop. This Vera Willis is also listed with a birth state of Louisiana and a fathers state of Alabama which fits our Vera. John Walter Willis has a birth record in Jefferson County, TX for 11 July 1925. No father has been established yet but the census record states father born in Minnesota.

Can anyone help Joseph with finding either Vera or John Walter Willis?
