I researching the family of William De'Louis BESLOW.His aliases included William L. BESSOLO and possibly Frank BESSOLO (who he claimed was his twin brother).William was born around April 1868 in either France, Italy or Michigan (depending on which record you look at).He supposedly he died Feb 27, 1929 in Gardena, Los Angeles county, California.
He moved from ? to Minnesota around 1893 where he married Flora BARTON on January 29, 1894 in Brainerd, Crow Wing County, Minnesota.
They had ten children, 8 in Minnesota (7 in Virginia, St Paul county) and 2 in Seattle, Washington (both died before their father saw them).
William BESLOW owned a store in Virginia, Minnesota around the beginning of the 1900s.
He moved to Seattle in 1906 with his family.He quickly fled (some say to avoid fraud charges for scamming many people out of their money).
William spent some time in jail in the Idaho State Penitentary - Boise, Shoshone County, Idaho.April 24, 1917 - Term 1 to 14 years - obtaining false representation.
He married Minnie LIEBRECHT in 1917 in Mexico (Flora filed for divorce but no final records exist for a final divorce).William and Minnie lived in California.She supposedly died in 1967.
Any clues to him or his past are appreciated.
