LEMUEL LEONARD MANSKER
When my father, Joe everett Mansker, was a young man, he had a "difference of opinion" with his father, Henry Elias Mansker.Dad left home and went to Montana to stay with his uncle, Lemuel Leonard Mansker, on his ranch near Saco, Montana.Since Dad was born in 1905, this was probably in the early 1920's.I don't know how long Dad stayed there.According to Dad and other family members (all now deceased)Lem Mansker had two brothers, Jim Mansker and Follis Mansker.I am unsure of the spelling of Follis, so I spelled it as it was pronounced to me.Lem, Jim & Follis are said to the sons of Thomas Edison Mansker.However, they are not from either of the two marriages that we have records of, Emma Motley, m. 1872, and Paralee Eldridge, m.1873.The 1930 census for Phillips County, Montana, shows Lemuel Mansker to be 65 years old, which would have him born about 1865, too early to be borne by either of Thomas Edison's two listed wives.Therefore, I believe Thomas Edison had another wife, before the two listed who bore Lem, Jim, & Follis.Does anyone out there have any informaion to clear up this MANSKER MYSTERY?
