J. Leonard Sr is the brother to my Ggrandmother Beulah Smith Stacey of Butler Co Alabama. I have located the family on the 1920-1930 federal census in the gilchrist area. I have also located them on the Florida state census in 1935. I have located a few marriages and graves for the family but am unsure if they are correct. Please contact me if you have any infomation at Sticklers@cableone.net
