My grandfather's name is Ira Pruitt whom was stationed in TX with the Army, where my father Ira Jr. was born. This would be 1940's. Does this sound familiar? Can you help me??

HI,
Just saw your post about Joleta. I am the daughter of Pearl Gardner, the woman who owned Joleta and their sheep during the best years of your life. I enjoyed your story. My years at the ranch were also some of my best.

Pioneer History of Bandera, 75 Years of Intrepid History, by J. Marvin Hunter is now available as a download free to our computers! Out of Print now.

All the old timers in Bandera were either interviewed by Hunter or submitted their stories - lots of great details. Indian fighting is mentioned constantly. The problem was so bad that the legislature passed a law absolving Bandera folks from paying certain taxes since they had to spend so much time fighting the Indians. Amazing.

Hunter's articles says: In 1863 a party of men, who, not caring to take sides in the great struggle that was being waged between the North and the South, left their homes in Williamson County, Texas.

Perhaps you may find info in Williamson County records or historical documents.

Good luck.

How are you related to Roxie Ann?

I remember when I was about 13, attending Hallie's funeral in Rock Springs. (I'm now 58.)
My grandmother, Carrie Mae, (b 8/2/1907) was very close to Bessie (married to Albert Becker) and Eldora. They would come to visit from Rock Springs when my husband, children and I would visit my grandparents. It's great to find a connection.

Paula,

Gertrude Walker is the daughter of James Watt Walker and Carrie Mae Howell Walker (my grandparents). James Watt is the son of Chambliss Walker and Laura Gertrude Hill(Walker).

Chambliss is the son of James Walker, Sr. and Ella Marsha Bunton. Delbert Walker is the brother of James Watt.

If you have any additional info on Roxie Ann Howell, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a copy of her death cert, but it is incomplete as to the names of her parents.

My name is Ginger Mitchell. James Watt Walker and Carrie Mae Walker were my grandparents, buried in Oak Rest cemetary in Medina. The oldest child was Gertrude 8/29/1927 - 11/22/1937 (buried in Means cemetery). My mom was Beulah Belle, uncles Malcolm Cecil and Thomas Watt. I have traced, by death certs James' dad, Chambliss (buried in Means cemetery), his dad James Washington Walker (b 12/25/0847 d 12/12/1930 (buried in Oak Rest).

I know Carrie Mae's maiden name was Howell, but I don't have any other info.

Re: Any info on Amos McDaniel or John S. McDaniel?

davidcmcdaniel — 2008-08-14 01:51:59Z

Lois,

Thanks so very much. I did look at the cemetery listings for Bandera and found a Mary McDaniel, but I think she probably would have married and so have a different last name on her tombstone. I am really hoping one of the children of John S. and Joe McDaniel stayed around the Bandera area and had kids so that a surviving kinsman can help me move further back.

David McDaniel

Any info on Amos McDaniel or John S. McDaniel?

davidcmcdaniel — 2008-08-13 18:12:32Z

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

Re: Looking for family of John S. McDaniel and Joe Stidham

davidcmcdaniel — 2008-08-04 13:30:07Z

Thanks very much for your help. I have seen the draft card and report of death for Amos J. McDaniel (my grandfather). He died as an indigent at the Veterans Hospital of some contagious disease (all his belongings were burned after his death). Unfortunately, I can't determine the McDaniel line any further back than his own parents, John S. and Joe (Stidham) McDaniel. I thought it possible that the descendents of one of his brothers or sister might still live in the Bandera area and might be able to point me in the right direction to get beyond John S. McDaniel.

Sincerely, David McDaniel

Re: Spencer Griffin Family - Moved to Texas 1857

I have an Anthony Griffin wife's will who list Spencer Griffin as her son 1846 Catahoula Parish La
I would like to hear from you on Griffins my email AnnieL_83@msn.com

Re: Spencer Griffin Family - Moved to Texas 1857

Kevin_Currington — 2008-12-07 21:10:47Z

Annie - this Spencer Griffin was born in Montgomery Co. KY in 1796. We aren't yet sure who his father was, but it was one of Anthony Griffin, Richard Griffin or Terry Griffin who were sons of Richard Griffin Sr who died intestate in 1824 in Montgomery Co. KY.

Richard SR's descendents created an heir's agreement on the division of his property, and it listed all 10 children as heir's. He had 5 sons and 5 daughters. The other two sons were named William and Young, and both preceeded their father in death.

Richard SR. moved his family to KY from Charlotte Co. VA ca. 1795. There is a land deed recorded in Charlotte that shows a power of attorney from Richard Griffin, of Clark Co. KY to his son Terry for transacting a land sale of Richard's property in VA.

THis is probably more information than you need right now, but I hope it is helpful.

Hello!
I am related to this family on my paternal side. I descend from your grandmother's brother, George W. Lindsey. He was my great, great, great grandfather. His daughter Louisa Jane (Lindsey) Smith was my great, great grandmother and her daughter, Annie Louise (Smith) Cottrell was my great grandmother. She divorced and married to a Kirkland and is buried in Greenville TX. If you would like to exchange information on this family, I would be more than happy to.
Here's my tree on ancestry - still a work in progress!

Looking for information on ggrandmother's birth. Per mother, Mary Louise Ross was born in or around Tarpley, Bandera County, Texas. Her Father's name was Taylor Ross. I believe I saw on Bandera's website that they started keeping birth records, either the year she was born or the next. Appears she was born around December 1876. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to hear back from you on connections you have made to Amasa Gleason Clark. I have a couple of copies of his book. When I went to Washington DC I went to the Library of Congress and read it there.

Re: Joleta Dude/Guest Ranch History

rmbion — 2008-08-06 16:41:27Z

My mother was among the first guests at the new Lost valley Ranch, developed by a man named Robinson, @ 1947. Little more than a year later my parents built a home on Robindale West Rd atop the bluff that looked down on Bandera Creek and to Joleta Ranch on the other side, We lived there from late 1948 until June, 1950. Best years of my life.
Joleta used to run sheep on their acres: I pulled several out of the mud of the creek one time: the creek would dry into pools during the summer---lots of mud and concentrations of moccasins and soft-shelled turtles.
My most intimate connection to the ranch was when my goat, Janey, got lost. Mom got a call from Joleta saying there was one in the horse corral with a broken leg. Before she could hang up, I was on my way down the bluff to the rescue. I found Janey and carried her up the creek and through the underbrush and up the bluff to home. Vet set her leg and all was well.

Re: Any info on Amos McDaniel or John S. McDaniel?

Verjie R. McDaniel born July 29, 1889, died December 13, 1953.

Re: Any info on Amos McDaniel or John S. McDaniel?

LoisKindlaSmith — 2008-08-13 23:56:13Z

David, never give up! Try searching the Bandera County website at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txbander/

Click on cemeteries - There are many, large and small. Be sure to follow up on all the different references within each posting. You can also contact Susan Hawkins, the site coordinator.

Also from that Bandera site you can click on home pages for surrounding counties. Many good folks have posted cemetery surveys and you may find something pertinent to your search.

Try contacting historical groups in the area. Have you searched the LDS site in Utah? You can personally examine their records at a Family History Center near you if you find a hit. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Try FindAGrave.com.

The Texas Historical Commission Atlas site allows search by county for cemeteries with addresses and maps (they take a long time to upload on my computer), the link is:
http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/shell-county.htm

Good luck on your search.

Re: I'd like to hire a researcher!

LoisKindlaSmith — 2008-08-29 16:26:38Z

Try contacting the Bandera County Commission, Bandera Historical Committee, or one of the Church historical groups. They should be able to recommend someone.

Addresses probably on http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txbander/

Or, try putting an ad in Bandera County Courier.

Kalka, Franciszek (?) gravemarker

LoisKindlaSmith — 2008-09-09 18:51:52Z

Old deterioriated stone in St. Stanislaus Cemetery, Bandera, in Polish. Records show: Franciszek (Frank) Kalka Jan. 25 1825 - Dec 1, 1891.

Could possibly be female. Inscription looks like:
"F??cisze"

Can anyone identify the deceased by parents or marriage?

Oldest Kalka settlers were Joseph Kalka (married Anna Morawietz) born 8 Mar 1836; and Casper (married Marianna Kolibaba) born 3 Jan 1819; their parents were Simon Kalka & Francisca Petruska Kalka.

Stone is in old Sec A, Row V, #10, between Tomas Mazurek (1816-1891) and Christian Jenschke (1883-1964) not marked, and Anton Kindla (1859-1892).

Other Kalkas (with birth dates) in old Sec A: Albert 1860, Miss Barbara 1898, Miss Cunegunda 1906, Baby?, Mrs. Elizabeth J. 1870, Joseph Kalka 1836, Frances Kalka (no dates.

Any info would be appreciated.

Inventory 1936 Bandera County Archives

LoisKindlaSmith — 2008-10-09 18:15:14Z

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.

The Portal to Texas History http://texashistory.unt.edu for

I just sent a note telling what I was trying to locate (name & Date of Death) to the library address that I believe I found online. Actually addressed just to "Bandera Public Library, Bandera, Texas 78003" should get it delivered. The cost was very minimal and may have even been a small donation. It has been a while so I don't remember exactly. Worth a shot, though.
