Yes this is my grandmother Betty Lou.My great grandfather Leslie Augustus Askew was born in Dec 1892 approximately. His father James Taylor Askew I'm not sure about his date of birth.James Taylor had a brother by the name Britton George (Gatewood)Askew whom might have moved from Texas area to Oregon.

James Taylor Askew's father was John W.Askew and his mother was Mary Looney.So far I know lived in Bowie County.I don't know if they came to Bowie County Tx from another state or if they were born there.
