Hi Bobby,
Some researchers have Francis Anne Lesesne as the second wife of William Welborn Brailsford (b.June 23, 1846, d. Jan. 4, 1923)with a marriage date of Oct.10, 1880.However, William Welborn Brailsford was married to Elizabeth Morrison Whilden (b.June 1865, d. 1947).Elizabeth M. was listed as William's wife on both the 1900 and 1910 Census records. William died before Elizabeth M. (both buried at Manning Cemetery).Doesn't seem likely he had a second wife?
William Welborn Brailsford was the son of Joseph Brailsford and Mary Rebecca Felder (Joseph the brother of my gggrandfather, Theodore W. Brailsford)Joseph and Theodore W. parents were Robert Brailsford and Elizabeth Louisa James.
Hope this helps.Dianne Reynolds
