Notes for Lester Beasley:

He was born as Lester Beasley but went by the name of Chauncey L. Hamilton since he was about five years old after his mother married Ernest Hamilton. His Mother filed an affidavit of the name change with the state of California in 1941. At that time, Chauncey was a 29 year old married man with two children. It makes sense to believe that his mother may have wanted there to be an easy trail for family research, since she did this after long after Chauncey was a legal adult, and had already used the Hamilton name on all official documents (social security card, draft papers, marriage license, etc). She also filed her own birth certificate in 1942, when she was 58 years old.

Chauncey and Chester were twins. Chauncey being born first.
