Borden Family/1900's

mefuddled — 3 Feb 2007 6:30:52 GMT

Iam curious as to what happened to the Borden family all of whom seem to have disappeared [or changed their names] after the 1900 census and the murder of Phillip Scroggins by Ben Borden.

The 1880 census listed the following:
Borden, Robert 42 Atty Al TN TN
Borden, Ruthy 41 Al TN TN
Borden, Eli D. 21 phyc Al Al Al
Borden, Andrew 15 TX Al Al
Borden, Joseph 13 TX Al Al
Borden, Benjamin 11 TX Al Al
Borden, Virgie 09 TX Al Al
Borden, Sarah 8/12 TX Al Al

The 1900 census listed the following Borden households:
Borden, Mrs. Ruthy 61 Al TN TN
Borden, B. W. 32 Al Al Al
Smith, Joel s-i-l 21 TX MS AL
Smith, Della dau. 20 TX Al Al

Borden, J. M. 34 TX AL AL
Borden, Eliza TX GA TX

Borden, EVA 25,wd TX
Borden, Eli Wheeler 1 TX

All of these people, with the exception of Eliza Grace Wilson Borden, widow of Joseph Borden simply disappear after this census. I read that Joseph Borden was shot and killed in a gun battle in front of a boarding house, by Fred Scroggins, brother of the man murdered by Joseph's brother Ben W. Borden.

Can anyone suggested what happened to Ruth Borden, Eva Borden and her son Eli Wheeler Borden or Sarah Della/Dorah Borden Smith, wife of Joel M. Smith?

Lyddy T Bryant and John Crutchfield in Homer/Lufkin 1860's

nhflory — 9 Jul 2008 6:08:25 GMT

I am looking for any information on Lyddy T Bryant. I believe she married John Crutchfield ( son of Ulysses Crutchfied of Pulaski GA ) in 1861. She and John had a son in 1861 John Martin Crutchfield ( My great grandfather). Lyddy seems to have died in 1862 and John Crutchfield remarried afterward to a woman named Johanna. John and Johanna went on to have 2 girls Mary Jane 1872 and Malinda 1873 Crutchfield. I believe that John Crutchfield died in 1873 in Angelina. I do know that John was in the Confederate Army Civil War as his second wife Johanna filed for a pension in the 1900's

I have absolutely no information on Lyddy T Bryant and very limited on John.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

James Sr and Josephine had 3 chn live to adulthood........
(per their Texas death certificates - all surname Nunnellee)
(1) James Franklin Jr born 15 Dec 1884 Jones Co MS - died
22 Jul 1958 Jefferson Co TX. Married Jessie Ethel [DAVIS].
Has NO living children.
(2) Jodie Harry born 30 Aug 1886 Lauderdale Co MS - died
19 Jan 1945 Harris Co TX. Married Lela [CHEEK].
MAY have 1 son born 1920 living?
(3) Jesse Clyde born 17 Jul 1890 Jackson MS - died 12 Aug 1942 Travis Co TX. Married Mary [unknown].
MAY have a dtr born 1919 living? other children unknown...
NOTE: Jesse Clyde's birthplace "Jackson MS" is from his WWI draft registration and I do not know if it is Jackson County, MS or a city named Jackson in MS.

I do not known when or where James Franklin Sr died but by 1900 Josephine [McDuffie] Nunnellee was widowed and in living in Polk Co TX:
1900 Polk Co TX/8 Justice Prec/HH 236-249/pg 183b

NUNELLY, Walter H /HH/wm age 38 AL

Nunelly, George /wm age 14 MS
Nunelly, Wily /wm age 07 MS
Nunelly, Sarah /wf age 04 MS
Nunelly, Louise /wf age 03 MS

Walter and Amanda married 24 Jun 1870 Lauderdale Co MS and just 1 day before the 1870 census was taken.
However, Amanda 1st married a "Mr Nunnelee" so I do not know whether James was Walter or Amanda's son ???
I am certain, however, that Amanda's 1st husband was Walter's brother because..........
(a) 1880 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 62-86/pg 4a
(03 Jun 1880)
NUNLEY, Walter H /HH/wm age 50 AL/Ga?/Ga?

Nunley, Martha S /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<

(b) 1900 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 279/pg 329a
(25 Jun 1900)
NUNNELEE, Walter H /HH/wm age 67 born Mar 1833 AL/Ga/Va

Nunnelee, Amanda /wife/wf age 67 born unk TN/Tn/Tn
+ 1 of 4 chn lvg
NUNNELEE, George L P /NEPHEW/wm age 39 born Sep 1860 <<< MS/Ga/TN + single

I do not know who Walter or Amanda's parents or siblings are
but because of the surname spelling Nunnelee and Nunnellee I am certain that Walter is a descendant of James Franklin Nunnelee or Walter Franklin Nunnelee both sons of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].

My money is on Walter's middle name being Hubbard or Hampton and that his parents were Martha [Terrell] and Simeon Nunnelee son of James Franklin Nunnelee son of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].

1850 Washington Co AL/HH 196-190/pg 340a
NUNNELEE, Simeon /HH/wm age 48 Ga
Nunly, Martha /wf age 50 Ga
Nunly, Hampton /wm age 19 Ga <<<
Nunly, Hubbard /wm age 17 Ga <<<
Nunly, Mary A /wf age 14 Ga
Nunly, William E /wm age 10 Ga
Nunly, Perry /wm age 08 Ga

...................................................
One last item, Walter received a CSA pension :
"W. H. NUNNELLEE applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley Co AR in 1908, citing his service in Co D, 20th Mississippi Infantry. His application was approved on August 6, 1908. Amanda Nunnellee also applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley County in 1912, stating that her husband had died on August 10, 1911. Her application was approved on August 8, 1912. The PENSION record file NUMBER is 4039."

About 7-8 years ago the wife of (a descendant) Billy Thayer NUNNELLEE was doing a little research on this family but he has since passed away and I cannot locate his wife T___.

If anyone can share any information on the ancestry or descendants of this "orphaned" Nunnellee family I would deeply, deeply appreciate it.

Jesse and Buelah DANSBY

athenian_1 — 2 Apr 2008 4:10:42 GMT

I am trying to find information about the ancestors and descendants of Jessie DANSBY -- born about 1882 somewhere in Texas.

In 1908, Jesse married Buelah BENTON in Carthage, Texas. Buelah's family was from Panola and Shelby counties and they lived in Shelby county for a while. Jesse worked for the railroad and they moved to Lufkin, Texas sometime before the 1918 draft registration. In 1930, he was enumerated as a roomer in Shreveport while she was at home with their son Jesse Jr. (may have been known as Skeet). They also had a daughter named Gladys who spent some time in Chicago then returned to Texas.

I don't know when Jesse died but Buelah and Jesse Jr. both died in Houston.

Any and all information about this family would be greatly appreciated

Richardson/McClure/Thomas Family came to Texas...

ScottBThomas — 27 Dec 2007 3:44:49 GMT

My family came from Fairfield County, SC. Thomas Richardson born around 1800, and his wife, Susannah Anderson Richardson, born about 1804.
My understanding is that Thomas and Susannah had the following children:
1) Martha Catherine Richardson, born about 1820, married William Watts Thomas. She died when the family was moving to Texas (Around 1840-maybe sooner). They were going through the Mississippi river, and there was a big catastrophe that struck. I have been told that the ferry they came down on caught on fire, possibly a hurricane. Two stories have said that either both William And Martha died, or that only Martha died. Martha and William had a child: James Henry Francis Thomas, born around 1840 in MS, after his mother and father died, Thomas and Susannah Richardson were left to raise him.
2) Sevella Ann Richardson who married John Fletcher McClure, who is son of Houston and Amy (Ann) Ogilvie McClure.
3) John Franklin Richardson who married Catherine Cassandra (Also spelt Cassander) Draper who was the daughter of John Madison Draper & Mary Wrightsell Draper.
4) Henry Samuel Richardson who married Mary Francis McClure, who is the daughter of Houson and Amy (Ann) Ogilvie McClure.

Does anyone know how or when the family came here? I would like information on any of the above people. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

POW/MIA KOrean War, Angelina Co. SEWELL

powmiadna — 4 Oct 2007 6:45:03 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Angelina County , Texas as his home of record.

Soldier: NATHAL SEWELL
Born: October 25, 1920
Date of loss:

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 137 families in Texas that have not been located. There is one family from Angelina County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (77 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Allen A & Lizzie Hutchens Parrish

pdsain — 9 Sep 2007 8:39:03 GMT

Allen A Parrish was born 28 Jan 1891 per his W W I Draft registration card, most likely in Rains county, Texas. The 1900 census gives year of birth as 1890.

Allen and sister Norah Parrish born Aug 1887 are living with their step father Rufe Brown born appx 1862 MS who is widowed in the 1900 Rains county census. Their parents are listed as being from MS and AR.

Their step siblings are Frank 8/1883, Lucy I 9/1885, Nezzie 7/1887 and Bart D Brown 1/1889. Allen and Norah's mother would have been Brown's second wife.

I believe Allen A and Norah were children of Allen Parrish born 1853 MS and Mary unknown born appx 1862 AR and had older sister listed as L. M. Parrish born 1879 in Rains or Wood county in 1880 census.

Allen Parrish born 1853 was the son of James A and Phebe Shelton Parrish of Virginia.

Allen A Parrish married Lizzie Hutchens from Tennessee 21 Feb 1909 in Rains county. Original marriage license in possession of the RGCS. No marriage record found for his sister Norah.

No cemetery or death records for Allen Parrish born 1853 and Mary Parrish who probably married R. Brown but most likely buried in Willow Springs or the Turner Cemetery. The elder Allen Parrish was the brother of James H Parrish of MS settled in Rains county.

In 1906 or 1907 James H Parrish sold his farm property to a Hutchens which I find a Hutchens family in J P 1 of Rains county from TN who arrived in Texas 1893-1897 and another Hutchens family in JP 5.

Allen and Lizzie had four known children; Eunice abt 1910, Fay abt 1913, Elmer abt 1915 and Edward A born 25 May 1919 and died 8 Mar 2002 last residence was Lubbock, Texas.

Edward's birth record filed in Rains county. This Parrish family is not found in 1930 census. The Texas death index shows an Allem A Parrish died 23 Jun 1951 in Angelina county and I suspect he is Allen A Parrish and a Lizzie Parish listed in Angelina deaths 6 Oct 1950.

A Parrish cousin moved to Angelina county from Rains county.

On the 14th of Nov 1945 Edward A Parrish, born 1919, enlisted in the Corp of Engineers, U S Army, in Lubbock, Texas which the record shows he was married at the time.

In 1993 Edward A Parrish married Zada A Andrews born appx 1905 in Lubbock county, public address for 1993, 1994 & 1995 show that Edward A Parrish lived on 9th Street in Lubbock and another record shows 2400 Quaker Ave.

I would like to know if Edward A Parrish had children and what became of his parents and siblings as I have not been able to pinpoint any records other than the possible deaths.

Does anyone know this family ? Will also post to Rains & Lubbock counties.

Thank You - Paula

Dr. Henry Randolph Anderson

manderson1147 — 5 Jul 2007 7:54:49 GMT

Henry Randolph ANDERSON married Katie Aseneth PARNELL, 19 OCT 1892. Henry died in Clawson, Angelina County, in 1911. He was a doctor and practiced in Angelina and several surrounding counties. The information regarding his practice and death comes from his registration form with the Texas Medical Association.

Although we have quite a bit of information on Henry (b: 1850 Spotsylvania County, VA), we have found no clue as to who his parents may be.

We've twice requested a death certificate, but both times were told one didn't exist for him.

We're completely stumped. If you're also researching Henry, please reply and let's brainstorm!

On the 1910 census he is married to an Alvie/Albie [surname unknown] They move to Houston, Harris County prior to the 1920 census.

Is he the son of Stanley and Louisa Smith [per 1880 Angelina Co census]?

What happened to his first wife, Sarah Della [or Adella] Borden?

Earnest Eli Bounds (1896-1967)& Ollie Williams

pw618 — 28 Sep 2006 11:26:21 GMT

Cannot find where Earnest and Ollie are buried --not the in Angelina Co. Cemetery Records, but died in Angelina Co.

Name: Ernest Bounds SSN: 458-09-1329 Last Residence: 75941 Diboll, Angelina, Texas, United States of America Born: 20 Dec 1896 Died: Apr 1967 State (Year) SSN issued: Texas (Before 1951 )

Here he is in Angelina Co. 1930

Ernest E. Bounds 32 Tx
Ollie 31 Tx-La-La
James C. 7 Tx-Tx
Edward Jr 1 9/12 Tx
Willie Williams 31 Tx-La-La - brother-in-law

I can't find him in 1910 or 1920 --I think his father was William Bounds. That Bounds family was in Houston Co. after 1880, but in Trinity Co. 1880.

1900 Cherokee Co. Texas #133
William Bounds May 1875 25 - Tennessee-Tennessee- Tennessee
May 20 May 1880 (m4 yrs) 3 children 1 living Tx-Tx-Tx
Ernest Dec 1896 - 4 Tx

The other Earnest had a brother Willie --but this one doesn't have a brother unless born after 1900.

I also found a Steve Randall Bounds born to James C. Bounds and Gloria Anderson, who would be a grandson of Earnest and Ollie Bounds.

Would like info about any of these. I have more info to share on this family.

Jo (Sheffield) (Hopkins) Croom, Lufkin to Beaumont

jah_2 — 16 Dec 2006 7:02:19 GMT

I am trying to find out some information for a friend in Texas. As I am located in Pennsylvania, and I have done very little research in Texas, I am asking for some guidance.

Her grandmother's name was Jo or Joe Sheffield. She lived in Lufkin, TX. She first married a Hopkins, then a Croom. I don't know where either of the men were from. She died in Beaumont and may have been buried in Woodville (I'm not sure if that was a town or a cemetery.)

I no longer have a subscription to Ancestry or HeritageQuest, but I tried looking for her on the census on HeritageQuest, but could not find her. My friend is interested in learning her birth and death dates for starters.

Thanks to anyone who can assist.
