Daisy Maureen Lawson: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

Daisy Maureen Lawson was born between 1899 and 1901 in Texas (daughter of Walter H. Lawson and Zella Griggs); died on 22 Oct 2001 in Paris, Lamar County, Texas.

Notes:

She appears to be the daughter of Walter H. and Zella (Griggs) Lawson. However, if this is correct, she was actualy born ca June 1899 instead of in August or September, 1901, as is shown by some.

She later married a TEMPELTON. Ken Wright notes that she had a sister, Polly, who married Steve CANTRELL, both thought to have died in Orange County, California. They were the parents of Billy CANTRELL of Oregon.

Daisy married John Hood Wright in Aug 1926 in Stephenville, Erath County, Texas. John (son of William Keaton Wright and Margaret F. McLemore) was born on 29 Jun 1887 in Carlton, Hamilton County, Texas; died on 26 Aug 1951 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
