==Warren Audrey Nesmith==
Warren Audrey Nesmith was born about 1918/9, in Texas, and probably in Dallas where the family was living in 1920.

He married, on 4 Mar  1942 to Bette Clair McMurray.  While he was away serving in World War II, Bette had a son Michael.  After Warren returned, they found they were incompatible and divorced. Warren remarried shortly afterward to Dolly Francis and they had a daughter Deborah Ann Nesmith in 1949. Bette remarried in 1970.

Later in life, Michael and Warren recreated their relationship and remained close until Warren died 28 May 1984 in Brazoria County, Texas at age 65.
