The name I found in ancestries.com was Rufus Leander. Jesse Matthew was their son. Jesse married Lela Pearl Betts. She went by Pearl. They had 5 children: Cornot, Emmit, Neal, Margie DeRee, and Wayne. I do not have the maiden names of the wives, just the first names. Cornot married Thelma ?, I cannot rember Emmit wife's name, Neal married Edna, DeRee married Murray Frankenfeld (my family) and Wayne married Elenor. Neal is the only one of the Harbins still living.
Cornot & Thelma had one daughter, Sandra who married Bucky Liningston and still live in Harlingen, TX. Emit adopted a son, J. C. DeRee & Murray had 4 children, Robert M who lives in Topeka, KS, Edward Lee who lives in Nashville, TN, Barbara DeRee who lives in Garland, TX, and Shirley Lynn who lives in San Antonio, TX. Wayne and Elenor had 2 boys (I cannot remember their names). Neal & Edna have no children.
Jesse moved to south Texas sometime before 1921 as DeRee was born in Donna, TX.Pearl died in 1931. Jesse later married Inez McDade of Brenham, TX. They both died in the mid 1970's.
From DeRee's family Robert married Linda Kent in 1960 and had two girls. He later married Rose with no additional children. Edward married Harriet Huebert in 1970 and have one son Harry. Barbara married Wendal Hinton in 1964. They had 3 boys, Billy, Wendal and Jonmark.Billy died at age 2. Barbara has married twice since then. She is currently married to Eddie White.Shirley married Ray Webb in 1971 and has 2 children,Eric and Lisa.
The names of the spouses from Rufus back can be gleaned from ancestries.com. That is where I got the Harbin names. I just did not write down the wives' or children'snames.
