Tennessee Warrens - Leslie Buford
James Warren 8/16/12
Leslie Buford Warren, Sr.,age 52, registered for the draft in 1942 giving his birth date as 19 August 1888 in Nashville, Tennessee.He lived at 161 Forest Ave., North Brighton, Richmond county, New York.The person who would always know his address was Mrs. Margaret C. Warren at the same address.He worked for Bethlehem Shipyards at Marininers Harbor, S.I. (I think this is Staten Island).The Draft Registration card is here:
