George Alexander McLeod of Diligent River & Advocate

I originally had him m/1 to Helen Blanch CHUNEY but now believe she was
possibly nee CORMIER. There's a divorce here somewhere as Helen later m/2
divorcee, Burton Manson McWhirter.

George's daughter, Evelyn is believed to be by Helen. Evelyn m/1 Wallace
Robison about 1954 in River Hebert; m/2 Robert "Budd" Quipp.
