Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997
Lester Terry
Birth 10 Apr 1923 Orange County
Certificate #23353

It is reported that Chester and Lester were twins. The list of children above has both Lester and Chester, but I found that the birth Index summary list has only Chester, not Lester, born in Orange County, Texas. Another Chester was born close to the same time also, but in Roberts County, Texas, named Chester Hugh.

Chester is reported born on 10 April 1923, and Chester Hugh on 9 May 1923. I wondered if the birth certificate was made out incorrectly, with the name being written Lester instead of Chester, or the name Lester being incorrectly typed onto the summary Index list for the year as Chester, maybe under the influence of the next certificate in the name of Chester. But later a death record was found for each child, a day apart in July of the same year.

The Texas birth index for 1923 lists only the name of Chester, while the birth certificates search onlne produces a certificate only in the name of Lester.

The twins died one day apart.
