Hey, Im looking for information on Leonus/Leonis/ Leon Buckley. He is born and raised in Monticello, Lawrence County, MS. He left Ms in went to Franklin Parish, LA. He is African American. He did a 1917-1918 draft card for WWI in Franklin Parish, LA. He came back to MS and married my great grandmother Edna Lewis of Columbia, Marion County, MS in March of 1920. They had 4 children. There names are Eddie Buckley, Leavy/Levice/Levi Buckley, Lena/ Lela Buckley, and Freddie Buckley. Edna Buckley died in 1928. They separated the children. Eddie and Freddie Buckley was raised by a lady name Adline Adams. She was a cousin of the Buckley family. My grandfather and he's twin sister Lena/Lela Buckley was raised by their grandmother Nancy Lewis. All children lived in Columbia, MS. Nobody know what happened to their father, Leonis/Leonus/Leon Buckely. I don't know much about my family. I am also looking for any information on my grandfather's sister, Lena/Lela Buckley. They both was born on June 3, 1925 in Columbia, MS. I do know is she did get married. I don't know her married name. She lived in Bogalusa, LA. She had children and I am looking for them too.My great uncle is the only one left out of the children. It is important that I find more information on my great grandfather and my great aunt.
