Individual Details

Mary Leslie Thornburg

(11 Nov 1921 - 6 Mar 1987)



Although Patty Sweet, correspondent on this family line, gave her name as Nettilee - a direct descendant has her as "Mary" but with the same dates. She does appear in the 1930 census - but as a 7 year old. I have an autosomal DNA match to her grandson and she has several husbands listed at Ancestry.

The California Death Index gives her as Mary Leslie Moore, b. 30 Nov 1921 in Oklahoma, died 6 March 1987 in San Joaquin County. Her mother's maiden name Allen, father, Thornburg. She is buried Cherokee Memorial Park, Lodi, San Joaquin Co, CA. Interestingly none of the assorted husbands given to her at Ancestry.com were named Moore.
