Notes:

My name is Byrda Vandiver Woodard and I live in Abilene. My dad was Jess Vandiver, Birdie's son. The Buird nickname came from all the nieces and nephews calling her Aunt Buird (Burd) either I guess. Because Will Thomas was Jess's stepdad and Will and Birdie had 4 children a lot of people just thought that Jess and Thelma were Thomas's. Jess's dad, Bill Vandiver, died when Thelma was 3 and Jess was 1. Think Will and Birdie were married within a year or so because of the date of RJ's birth date. So Will was the only father my dad knew.
