Notes
'Margaret A Castellaw', 'Nancy A Bailey', Margurite L, 'R Lesie' and 'Leecie' are all the same person. A few sources agree that she was born Margaret Arlecie (different spellings of middle name). Her middle name may have been Arlesia, as that was her maternal grandmother's name. One source remembers it sounding something like 'Lessia'. My mother, Julia Castellaw, called her 'Aunt Leecie', as did my oldest sister, Linda, who was very close to her. Aunt Leecie's tombstone reads Nancy A 'Margaret' Bailey, giving the impression that 'Margaret' was a nickname, but 'Nancy' was the nickname, not Margaret. Divorce and custody petition papers between Agnes and Frank show Margaret as minor child 'Arlecie'. In the 1920 census, she is 'R Lesie' and in the 1930 census, she is listed as 'Margurite L'.
