Need info on one ARTHUR LEROY JOHNSON aka LEROY JOHNSON aka ROY JOHNSON Born
about 1912 or 13 known to have resided in McAlester Oklahoma and Okla City,
Ok area in the 30's and 40's married DOROTHY MAY ROBERTSON 1931 divorced 1933
unknown if living or deceased I think he had sisters named ANNA and LENA
unknown if they were 1/2 sisters mothers name was ANNA CRAFT or KRAFT fathers
name unknown
about all can tell you about my father is this His full name is Arthur LeRoy
Johnson,
According to the marriage license he was 21 yrs' old in 1931 if this is
accurate he would have been born in 1910 (but on my birth certificate in 1932
it shows he was 20 yrs' old so I would say he was probably born in 1912) but
I know for sure my mother lied about her age because it says she was 18 yrs'
old in 1931 when in fact she was only 14 1/2 yrs' old
But she says he was 4 or 5 years older than her so maybe he didn't have to
lie about his age. When they met in McAlester Oklahoma (Pittsburg Co.) in
1930-31 he was living with his mother who had divorced his dad and had
remarried a
Henry Craft/ Kraft. I think his dad and two older sisters were living in
Okla. City,OKla at this time.

His Dad's name might possibly have been Ira and he remarried a woman whose
name might have been Ezra This is what my mother thinks but she isn't sure.
His Sisters names were Lena and Anna Johnson (Again I think) he also had an
older Brother who was named Jack who died before he met my mother and I was
supposedly named after him. I may have over looked them in the 1920 census
but then again they may have moved to Oklahoma after the 1920 census. I have
both the marriage license and the divorce papers but there is nothing of any
value on them except that he signed the marriage app. as LeRoy Johnson which
leads me to believe he may have used his middle name as a first name. they
were married in OK City, OK on 10/13/1931 and divorced on Aug 27 1934 in
Pittsburg Co. Okla. As you can see I don't have much to go on but if you can
help I would be forever grateful.
I hope you can make heads from tails of this but if there's any questions I
will answer what I can.
