Inventory 1936 Bandera County Archives

LoisKindlaSmith — 9 Oct 2008 6:15:14 GMT

If you use the LDS reels for Bandera archives, it might be good to review this site. Seems like the explanation of the records would make it easier to choose the correct reel, and locate the portion you are searching for without looking at all the records on the reel - the labels are confusing. Wish I had known this the last time I was at Bandera Library.

Inventory was compiled 1936 under...Research and Records Section of the Division of Professional and Service Projects of the Work Projects Administration. Chrono Index begins P. 93, subject and entry index at p. 95.

Lots of interesting info, old laws pertaining to Bandera, organization of old deed records, probate, etc., names of different Courts and jurisdiction, etc.

I'd like to hire a researcher!

RedPondRanch — 29 Aug 2008 3:40:10 GMT

I'd like to hire someone to go to the Bandera County library and look up obituaries for me on the microfilm reader. I've already contacted the high school counselor, but so far no results.

Any suggestions?

Any info on Amos McDaniel or John S. McDaniel?

davidcmcdaniel — 13 Aug 2008 6:12:32 GMT

I am at a dead end trying to find earlier ancestors than my ggrandfather, John S. McDaniel, b. 1854 in Arkansas or Tennessee.

The 1900 census shows the John S. McDaniel family in Bandera, TX. Family is wife Joe; children Robert (b. 1887); Amos J. - my grandfather - (b. 1889, d. 1948); Thomas (b. 1891); and Mary L. (b. 1894). I know that John S. married Joe Stidham in Frisco, TX in 1883. He and Joe were named in a land transaction in Bandera in 1905 - the last date either shows up that I can tell.

The family of John S. McDaniel shown in the 1900 census from Bandera, TX has so many names reflected in the family of Amos K. McDaniel (living in Uvalde around 1880-1890) that it seems they must be related. Further, my father, son of Amos J., was christened David Oliver (another name repeated from family of Amos K.). The places of birth for the parents of John S. are also shown as being Arkansas.

At this time I am tempted to believe that John S. is the son of Amos K. McDaniel (There is excellent info on Amos K. and family at http://static.mcdaniel-genealogy.com/BenjaminMcDanielFamily/...)

There is a problem with this, however, because in the 1870 census that shows Amos K.'s family (in Austin), the John listed is shown as being born in 1860. Also, I have another 1870 census records that could plausibly show John S. McDaniel from Gibson Co, Tenn - it shows the household of David D. McDaniel (wife Mary, children John S. (1854), Sarah, Martha, Rachel, Livia, and an adult Mary Ethridge).

If anyone has any threads I can pull to trace back beyond John S., any knowledge of any of the children of John S. and Joe McDaniel who lived in Bandera after 1900, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

David McDaniel

Adamietz, Simon, burial place

LoisKindlaSmith — 29 Jul 2008 11:49:49 GMT

Attempting to locate the burial place of Simon Adamietz (1802 – 1879) and his wife, Josepha Conietzki Adamietz (abt 1816 – 1884), born in Poland. Those names do not appear in the old survey for St. Stanislaus cemetery in Bandera. There are old stones in St. Stanislaus which are unreadable, some in Polish.

Checked St. Joseph Cem in Leming, TX which has some Adamietz (various spelling), but no luck.

Does anyone know where they might be buried? My sister suggests the old homestead/ranch near Bandera. Any information greatly appreciated.

Amasa Clark's Reminiscences of a Centenarian

Lois Kindla Smith — 30 Nov 2005 7:43:44 GMT

I'm interested in locating Amasa Clark's Reminiscences of a Centenarian, to either purchase or obtain a copy. Amasa was the "First Permanent Settler" in Bandera according to J Marvin Hunter, arriving in 1852.

Joseph Richard Fryer

family_history_research — 22 Feb 2007 3:27:45 GMT

I am researching Joseph "Joe" Richard Fryer (name spelling variation-Friar).
b. March 1888 Texas d. Nov. 11, 1913 Honey Creek, Bandera Co., Texas
married June 11, 1907 San Saba Co., Texas to Sarah "Sary" Elizabeth Bessent b. June 14, 1899 Texas; d. June 25, 1981 Mills Co., Texas
To my knowledge they had one child Annie Elizabeth Fryer. I do not have date of birth, etc for Annie.
She married George Claburn Fryer and I think they had 3 children. They divorced -but I do not have marriage or divorce information for them. She remarried First Name Unknown Dobson.
I have found him in the 1900 Bandera Texas census.
According to family legend:
murder of Joe Friar Nov. 11, 1913 by O.L. "Boc" Freeman.

I would love to find more information in regards to him.
I will be happy to reimburse expenses for look up of information in regards to his murder.

There is another story posted on another message board that I would also like to find more information in regards to:
Does anyone have any information of a Friar baby girl being born in 1914, She was given to someone else. I have heard she was the child of Joe Friar and Sara Elizabeth Bessent, then there was a suspicion that the baby girl belonged to a man named William Henry, who was not married and he was a half brother. There's also a mention of a George Friar who was a judge.
Please contact me at my email address:

marriage records of bandera co. 1870

judy hugg grimes — 12 Aug 2001 7:33:36 GMT

I have a civil war widow who was married in 1860 and probably remarried after 1862. The little husband, james N. Patterson died in army camp at Rehondo, Ark. of measles and never got to war.

Her name would have been:
MARCELLA (marilla)Louise( DODD) PATTERSON.
She would probably have remarried under the names of:
M.L.Patterson or Marcella L. Patterson or even Louise or Lucy Patterson?
WE think she may have come home to stay with 'momma" and Momma was : lucy cave dodd AUTRY and we have been unable to find an Autrey (Autry) family in the 1870 census with a wife, lucy and a step dau. Marilla or marcella or lucy?

WE have looked so long...do you hear desperation here? grin,
IF anyone has access to BANDERA records, or marriage list, or even cemetery list? Please run a name check for this young widow for us? or her stepfather?: thanks.. judy hugg grimes, megbr549@aol.com.

Looking for info on Leona Elizabeth Weed and Berty A Weed Byerly. They are sisters and daughters of Solomon Franklin Weed and Eda Chadich. I am also looking for their sister and my grandmother Melvina Rebecca Weed Reavis' daughter. Her name is Maggie born May 1896. She married William W. (Bill) Adair in about 1915-16 in Bandera Co. She was raised by a family in the Bandera area. Supposely she was not my grandfather's child and he would not let her live with them. My grandmother always told my dad he had another sister. I did meet her a few times in the early l950's. I do not know what name she went by growing up. However, she did claim to be a Reavis when she was grown. I cannot find her anywhere except in the 1920 census as an Adair, not even her death.

Judge Triggo...

gpalmero1 — 22 Aug 2006 10:46:56 GMT

Hi, all!

I have a small weathered clipping from an unknown newspaper, which features a political cartoon, showing the main street of Bandera, and a Trojan Horse made of strange bits. Climbing out of the horse is a man with a gun, and a huge badge that reads "Law" on his chest. The caption reads: "Judge Triggo's Trojan Horse."

I believe that the Judge Triggo being satirized was my grandfather, Simon L. Triggo. But I cannot find a Triggo as judge in Bandera County. Does anybody know? Thanks.

LDS: John Kindla in Montrose, MS

LoisKindlaSmith — 20 May 2006 10:05:31 GMT

John Kindla (Centawa, Poland 1805 – 1883 Bandera, Texas) was my grandfather, arriving with the first large group of Poles in Galveston, TX on the bark Weser Dec 3, 1854 with his first wife and four surviving children. Searching the LDS records I see an Ancestral File showing a “John Kindla” with Marriage about 1858 in Montrose, Jasper Co., MS.

The person in file is linked (in error) with persons in our family BUT my grandfather John Kindla was not in the military or ever in Montrose, MS, he never left Texas. Kindla is a rare name and all Kindlas in Texas (I believe) are related to my Grandfather, his sons/half brothers: Joseph Kindla (circa 1840 Poland married to Anastasia Korus), Atascosa Co., TX, and Ernest Felix Kindla (1862-1946)married Mary Agnes Adamietz 1869-1951) Bandera Co., TX

Can anyone provide a clue on this situation, or further information. Thanks.

West Verde Creek grave marker Kindla - 1872

LoisKindlaSmith — 13 May 2006 6:58:42 GMT

Discovered another article in Family Bible giving the location of Theodore Kindla's death in 1872 by Indians as WEST VERDE CREEK which may be in Kerr County just north of Bandera line. Any info would be appreciated.

Several folks have reported seeing a marker, but not where. A local historian told us "1872 was a bad year for Apaches."

J. Marvin Hunter's article (below) says Sabinal Canyon:
"THEODORE KINDLA VICTILM OF SAVAGERY In the summer of 1872 Theodor Kindla, aged about 25, was a sheep boss for Judge J. B. Davenport, who ranged his flocks over in Sabinal Canyon, below Utopia…attached by several Indians, who roped him, shot several arrows into his body, lanced him several times, and while he was still alive the savages scalped him and also peeled the skin from the soles of his feet….the next day…the body was so badly decomposed that burial was made where the unfortunate man fell.” Reprint of 100 Years in Bandera, p 52

Where did the Bandera cemetery listing go?

RedPondRanch — 27 Feb 2005 2:26:59 GMT

Once upon a time, I was able to access an online list (outdated, to be sure) of burials in the Bandera City Cemetery. I think I got to it via the Bandera County GenWeb site, but in one of the site overhauls, the list vanished. Does anyone know where it went? Surely there is a cemetery committee that has a "master" list that could possibly be published online? If so, I'd be glad to help, since I have many, many family members buried there.

Thanks for any information!

Bandera Polish Pioneers family histories

Summer 2001 and 2002 issues were devoted to Bexar County Poles. Copies are available. The website has a searchable surname database at PGST.org

J Marvin Hunter's "When the Polish People Came"

LoisKindlaSmith — 1 Dec 2005 6:25:23 GMT

Searching for this book to understand more about my Polish ancestors - my g gfather was a Bandera Pioneer in 1855. If anyone has a copy, or knows where I can purchase one or obtain copies, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

Baker cites this book (pp 193 - 194) discussing the attacks by indians and the fear of attack by the early settlers in Bandera, so much so the residents considered abandoning the town. I'm interested in how the residents viewed my Polish ancestors.

If anyone has family reminiscences from early residents to share, I love to read them.

Greetings All!

I'm looking to identify "W. R. Johnson", what is his full name, what happened to him and who were his parents?

This is what little I have so far:

1) Married Penelope Dunning, the daughter of Samuel Washington Dunning & Nancy Elizabeth Satterwhite Edwards, on October 10, 1877, in Bandera Co..

2) Penelope "Nellie" Johnson was at the home of her parents at the time of the 1880 census with 2 yr. old daughter named Mary.

3) A son, Albert S. (?) Johnson, was born in July 1880; he is found in the 1900 Travis Co Census with James and Penelope.

4) Shortly afterwards Penelope married James Polk Winters, son of John Frelan Winters - patriot of the battle of San Jacinto.

Just today I found online the marriage record for W.R. Johnson and Penelope Danning (Dunning) at the USGENWEB Bandera site. This is the first time I've seen initials of his name! If you have any leads please respond.

Sincerely,
