Notes:
Leander Travis Hutcheson, Jr. (know as L.T. Jr., and later, just as L.T. ) was born in Pikeville, Tennessee in 1904. He was the last of the 10 children of Lee Hutcheson (L.T. Sr.) and Olive Irene Kuykendall. His mother died when L.T. was just 4. Two years later, his father married Alma Freiley, who was not at all motherly, and who was pretty much despised by all of L.T. 's siblings. I can't say exactly how L.T. got along with his mother, but I know that his sister Edith (my grandmother) carried bitterness about her stepmother to her (Edith's) death in 1996, and reported that her stepmother often threatened to send the three children who remained at home to an orphanage.
L.T. was widowed three times. His first marriage was to Inez Ricketts in 1925. They had one daughter, Betty Carolyn, who married Budd Alexander, and who was still alive (as far as I know) at age 91 in 2017. Inez died at age 28 in 1936.
L.T.'s second wife was Rosebud McBroom. During World War II, they had two sons, L.T. III (known as 'Travis'), and Larry. Rosebud died in 1947.
L.T. and his third wife, Betty Koon had four children in the 1950's: Mary Elizabeth, Martha Frances, James Noel (he married Maurene Henry and they had LT IV), and John Lee (who was 30 years younger than his oldest half-sister, Betty).
LT Jr. was a district manager for Hoover Vacuum Company. He lived in Chattanooga, TN and Birmingham, Alabama.
After his third marriage, L.T. didn't maintain much contact with his siblings, who, were, for the most part, very close. Clarence Richmond, Jr. (L.T.'s nephew) is close to Betty Alexander's age, and did know Betty, but he met several of L.T.'s younger children for the first time at L.T.'s funeral in 1999. Clarence shared the family tree with his cousins at that time, and reported that several were quite unaware that they had so many close relatives.
- Robin Richmond (Clarence's son), leaning heavily on notes written by James Murphy (husband of L.T. Jr's niece Elizabeth Swallows), and transcribed and uploaded by James' daughter-in-law Alice Holliman Murphy.
