Notes

• I find Lee Adley listed as Lee in the public records I have found.  But his son is named as Otdies Lee Adley Jr in his birth certificate.
  
  There was some confusion about Lee Roy's name because several sourcesreferred to his son as Otdies Lee Junior.  In April 2008, I got an email form a descendant, Patricia Ferguson Williams, who clarified the matter of the names:
  "His name was Otdies Lee Adley, and his father's name was Lee Roy Adley.  The 'Junior' part came in when his mother said 'Well, the first son is always called Junior.'  But they did not have the same name.  The son was called 'Lee,' and the father was called 'Lee Roy'."
  
  I got Ruby Henson's name from the Texas Birth Index record for OtdiesLee Jr's brother Edward John Adley.
  
  In the 1920 census, I found Lee Roy listed as Lee with his parents Andrew and Rosie in Brown County, Texas.

  In the 1930 census, Lee is working on the farm of Boyd Turner in Milam County, Texas.  He is listed as a boarder, but his occupation is reported as Farm Laborer.  I assume he is working on the farm where he is staying, but that is not specifically indicated.
