About Eugene Edward Roddenberry

"'In 1907, Leon died at the age of forty, leaving Clara with little education and a family to raise.' She sought solace in a bottle and the family dissolved. Eugene and his youngest brother, Hilbert, were sent to live across the state line in a north Florida orphanage.'

"After a year, the two children were taken out of the orphanage, but the family was never fully reunited.

Gene's father eventually found his way to El Paso, Texas, where he became a part of the U.S. Army's buildup of 5,000 troopers along the border, chasing Pancho Villa. It was there that Star Trek's creator, Eugene Wesley Roddenberry was born in 1921."

Charlton Co Herald, Oct 24, 1919: "Eugene Roddenberry is now in Washington, D.C. making preparations to go with the U.S. Regulars to the Mexican border."

Charlton Co Herald, Jul 11, 1924: "The relatives and friends of Eugene Roddenberry, son of Leon Roddenberry, a former citizen of Charlton County, will be interested to learn that he and his wife and children are now living in Los Angeles, California and are doing well and are happy."

Eugene Roddenberry followed in his father's and brother's footsteps and joined the Los Angeles Police Department.
