Notes for Jesse Jerome & Clara (Family)
Clara was a half-sister of Jesse’s first wife Lavina Elizabeth Ashcroft.
This family is in my database because their grandson Kneale Foutz is the husband of my niece Charity Rodriguez, and I wanted to show how Kneale is related to Desirae Prince, wife of my brother Jeff Pettit, and granddaughter of Jesse’s brother Leroy.
