Burford Ancestors - Generation 5 - Conclusion of Burford Ancestry

 Well, it seems we have arrived at the point in which the remaining "ancestors" in this generation are still living. (Can you even BE an 'ancestor' if you're still living?) How did that happen? Well, of the 13 children of Alexander Oscar Burford, with his first and second wives, the oldest (Raymond) was 31 years old when the youngest (Judy) was born. (Really makes you thankful for birth control, doesn't it?) I hesitate to make blog posts about living people. So I think I'll do a summary post to end this series. There are eight more people in Generation 5 of the Burford lineage -- 

Robert Neil Burford

Ronald Gene Burford

Donnie Jeneal Burford

Lee Burford Hombs

James Wesley Hombs

Richard Gerald Hombs

Suellen White

Aaron Duane White, Jr.

These are the children of the four youngest Burford siblings - Lester, Neil, Juanita, and Judy. 

Of these eight, three have died:

Ronald Gene Burford, son of Lester and Cleffie Burford, was born 29 March 1944. He died 06 June 1981, age 37, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.  

Lee Burford Hombs, son of Mel and Juanita Burford Hombs, was born 10 October 1937, and died in January 1939 (maybe 1938?) of pneumonia. (Family records indicate he was just a few months old when he died, but his gravestone says 1939. I can't find any legal records to verify the date.)

Richard Gerald 'Jerry' Hombs, son of Mel and Juanita Burford Hombs, was born 11 August 1941, and died in May 2024.
