Descendants of William Hampton McLeod - 2 Jul 2009

First Generation

1. William Hampton McLeod 1-6 was born on 3 Jan 1884 in California. He appeared in the census in 1885 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. He appeared in the census in 1900 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. He appeared in the census in 1910 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. He appeared in the census in 1920 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. He died on 3 Jul 1936. He was buried in Mountain View Cem, Walla Walla, Washington.
William was almost certainly born in either Plumas or Sierra Counties.

His 1900 census entry says he was born Oct 1883. His tombstone says Jan 03, 1884.

In 1910 the family is in Walla Walla Ward 2, Walla Walla, Washington, hiding out under their initials, with false birthplaces for Elsie:

W H McLeod, 26, head, Calif, at sea, Calif, clerk, wholesale
L C McLeod, 26, wife ["LC" = "Elsie"], Wash, Calif, Calif
Howard McLeod, 2, son, Wash, Calif, Calif
Kenneth McLeod, 4/12, son, Wash, Calif, Calif

They have been married for 3 years.


In 1920 they are still in Walla Walla, but a little more accurate:

William H Mc Leod, 36, head, Calif, On Ship from Scotland, Calif, truck driver, Union Oil Co.
Elsie Mc Leod, 35, wife, Kansas, NY, Ohio
Howard Mc Leod, 12, son, Wash, Calif, Kan
Kenneth Mc Leod, 10, son, Wash, Calif, Kan
Gilbert Mc Leod, 6, son, Wash, Calif, Kan
Dorothy Mc Leod, 3, dau, Wash, Calif, Kan
Wayne Mc Leod, 1 6/12, son, Wash, Calif, Kan
Phillina Noll, 37, boarder


William Hampton McLeod and Elsie Esadora Austin were married in 1906/7 in Washington (Prob). Elsie Esadora Austin2,5-9 was born on 25 Feb 1884 in Burton, Harvey, Kansas. She appeared in the census in 1910 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Washington. She died on 31 Dec 1965 in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, California. She was buried in Mountain View Cem, Walla Walla, Washington.

Elsie's Interment.net entry gave me her birth and death dates. The SSDI said her last residence was California. That led to the CDI entry, which had her mother's maiden name but not her father's surname.

MCLEOD, ELSIE A

Mother: HOWARD
Father: (Not Stated)
d. 12/31/1965, SANTA CLARA Co,
