Individual Details

Leona Jean Briles was always knows as "Jeanie" to avoid confusing her with her mother, Leona Hays Connally Briles.

Jeanie, the youngest child of her parents, was born on December 26, 1935. The next child born in the Briles family was the oldest daughter of Jeanie's oldest brother Worthie Elwood Briles, Susan Marie Briles. Susan was born on December 26, 1943, exactly 8 years after Jeanie was born. Interestingly, the next child born to the Briles family was Susan's brother David Elwood Briles, who was born on May 26, 1945. Just coincidences, but they are interesting!
