document is most often reported as fact. It is NOT.

The AHS document, itself, is replete with giant leaps of inference and with

speculations. Later research by members of the same family line as BYRON
FOY have detected some gross errors in some of the information reported in the
AHS document. The speculations, errors and inferences in the AHS document
which have been treated as fact in later writings by some FOY researchers have
created some notable problems in the FOY family history.

BYRON C. FOY was an interesting fellow. He was born in Baird, Texas June
20, 1893. His parents were WALTER FRANKLIN FOY and “FANNIE” A.
SMITH.

Following BYRON’ s birth this FOY family moved to Dallas, Texas where
BYRON grew up. BYRON’ s father, WALTER, owned and operated FOY’ s
Drug Store which was located at 161 South Ervay. The store had telephone
number 651-4r (where 4r stands for four rings.)

BYRON attended the University of Texas following which he returned to the

Dallas area and became a car salesman for Ford. He subsequently moved with
his father and mother to Los Angeles, California where he met a woman named
THELMA P. CHRYSLER. THELMA was the daughter of WALTER
CHRYSLER, owner of the famous Chrysler Corporation. In 1924 BYRON and
THELMA CHRYSLER were married and BRYON became a vice-president and
director of Chrysler. He later was appointed president of the DeSoto Division
of Chrysler in Detroit, Michigan. Later, he and THELMA lived in New York
city.

Since the publishing of the AHS document, BYRON FOY’s family line has been
independently well researched and documented. Many of his surviving relatives
still live in the Dallas, Texas area. Some of BYRON’s “Texas cousins”, now in
their 80s, have mixed memories of BYRON. Some say he had “gotten on a high

horse and tried to make himself into something he wasn’ t.”

BYRON’ s surviving relatives point out that BYRON and his Chrysler heiress
wife, THELMA, while living in New York City became a part of “high society”
in that city. The Chryslers, of course, had a deep and noble family lineage.
BYRON wanted a family lineage to match theirs, so --- he bought one.
