I'm searching for a connection between my grandfather and the Bonesteel line in Kansas.The only information I have right now is that Lee Roy Bonesteele was born in Kansas in 1882 ... I believe the 'e' on the end was added to the name by Lee after he arrived in California.
The only other information I have was that Lee Roy's mother was married to a Bonesteel in Kansas, but left him because he was a gambler ... moved to California with Lee Roy, then married Mark Rose.Lee Roy then worked with Mark Rose in the building of the All American Canal at the turn of the century, after which they homesteaded a farm in the Imperial Valley.Lee Roy married into the Bristol family ... his first wife died in child birth, so he then married her sister ... which was my Grandmother.Both Lee Roy and my Grandmother died when I was very young, so I have barely any memory of them.
