The following is a quote from an e-mail dated March 30, 1998 from Clav
in L anny Jones Menefee, adopted son of John Ambrose Menefee:
" John A., was a County Attorney for 38 years for Upton Co., Te
xa s, he received his law degree from Cumberland University in Lebanon, Te
nne ssee in 1929.  Before that everything is in the dark.  I think he w
as ju st starting to Law School when the birth certificate for John A. w
as Regis tered.
"The house that his mother lived in was one of the first hous
es th at was build in Austin, TX."
There are two birth certificates for John.  One states that h
is na me is George Quinn Menefee,Jr., and that he was born Feb. 15, 190
8, the ot her states that his name is John Ambrose Menefee, born Feb. 1
5, 1908. Th ey both lists George Quinn Sr., and Willana Graham as his moth
er, both ha ve the same file number (66825) from the Austin Texas Bure
au of Vital Stat istics, one was filed Feb 25, 1908 and the other Novemb
er 9, 1926. Therefo re this is the reason that Calvin beleives that Geor
ge Quinn Menefee, Jr ., changed his name to John Ambrose Menefee.  S
He married Mary L. Campbell in Pecos County Texas on July 26, 1
93 6, and married her again in Upton County Texas, on Dec. 17, 1936?"[ross
