Bonnie's brother, Hubert Parker was employed in Gladewater, Texas, working for Rusty Cook, a plumber and pipe fitter. Rusty's wife was Ada Cook, formerly
Mrs. Dick Clay. Hubert was married to Ada's daughter, Edith Clay. Five months after the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie's brother, Hubert "Buster" Parker
and his wife Edith had a daughter who they named "Bonnie Ray Parker". After they divorced, Edith died. Bonnie Ray was just four years old when she went to live with
her maternal grandparents for a time, but then went to an orphanage in Houston. After a three year search, Billie Jean Parker located her young niece at the orphanage
one week before Bonnie's seventh birthday and adopted and raised her as her own. Billie Jean was living in Gladewater, Texas at the time, as was Bonnie Parker's brother,
Hubert. Having the name "Bonnie Parker" had caused the young girl a lot of misery at school. Jean got married and they moved to Stevens, Arkansas. Bonnie's name was
changed to "Rhea Leen", (seeing as Billie was already calling her by her middle name "Ray" for some time.) Rhea Leen kept her family association a secret until recently
when she found that she would no longer be looked down on, being the niece of the infamous Bonnie Parker. She then went on to market Bonnie and Clyde merchandise.
Hubert "Buster" Parker's wife - Edith Parker
(maiden name - Edith Ray Clay)
Edith was the sister of Clarence Clay, who was a friend of Clyde Barrow.
It was at the Clay's home that Clyde and Bonnie were first acquainted.
