"I am helping Jr Lester look for his family and/or anyone who is relative's of his.
"His grandparents were:
WILLIAM ABNER LESTER 1892 - 1942 & MARY PAYNE 1905 - 1972."His parent's were:
WILLIAM WHITTEN LESTER 1934 - 1999 & IMAGENE PENLEY LESTER 1937 - 2004."His grandfather died when his father was 6 years old. After he passed away his father was raised by NORA BAILEY. As far as we know Ms. Bailey was not related to them but we are not sure. We would love to find out more information about this woman, Ms. Nora Bailey and/or any surviving relatives of hers or surviving relatives of the Lester's, and/or the Payne's. His family was from Iaeger, West Virginia. His father moved to Buchanan County, Virginia. Sadly he doesn't know many of his father's family and he wants to meet any relatives he can find."
