"To this union were born 8 children, Florance, Addie, Solly, Marvin, Julia, Lillian, Lucy and Lemuel. Solly died of Pneumonia, Lemmie was killed by a steam shovel. Florence married Stokes Clarke of Anson. She died in March 1931, leaving a daughter and 2 sons.
"Addie married R. T. Tomlinson. Has 2 children, Marshall Lea and Louise. She is now living in Haughton, La. -- lived in Shreveport a number of years.
"Julia married Carl Dunlap of Anson Co. She has one son, Pines, a talented young man. He is in the army on account of difficult in obtaining a job.
"Lillian married Tom Dunlap and died in 6 months after her marriage. Lucy married Fleetwood Dunlap and has 4 children, James, Fleetwood, Jr., Lucy Lea and Roberta.
"Eugenia died Aug. 16, 1930 in her 84th year. She was living at the time in Anson Co. with her daughter Julia, to which county she went after he husband's death."

Dear Miss Lea:
Yours of the 13th was promptly received. I thank you for the information regarding the Lea family and found it interesting. I have not seen Addie lately as she lives so far, and neither of us has a car available, at our disposal. I will copy the data and give her the typed copy as you had intended sending it to her. When cousin Eugenia was here she let me copy from the data she had, and later I wrote to her sister Willie but she gave me no dates. I think they are descendants of the forefathers of Solomon Lea, while I am from the father's side, Dr. Calvin Lea. He was my mother's first cousin. Addie and I were named for my grandmother, daughter of Rebecca Lea.
Yours sincerely,
Adilea Henderson Jordan (Mrs. Thomas A. Jordan)
546 Egan St.
Shreveport, Louisiana
