Henry Beulah Smith with daughter 1900 census

gishpar — 5 Jul 2008 11:09:25 GMT

I am looking for Henry Homer Smith supposedly born Sept. 10, 1871 in MS. I am beginning to think he changed his name.

However, I found a Henry and Beulah Smith on the 1900 census.

Ancestry has the daughter born about 1895 with the name of German R.

I cannot make out the name because I believe that transcription to be incorrect.

I think the mother and daughter might have died.

Does anyone know of this couple and daughter listed on the 1900 census of Brazos County?

Thanks,

hinant t. wilson and family

rabalais06 — 7 Nov 2007 7:45:00 GMT

For one of my classes we went to the boonville cemetary and did sketch maps of different areas. In a family plot I discovered 3 people that all died on the same day. Hinant t. wilson(maybe hinantt wilson), Mary E.C. Wilson, and Ann M. Allen. They all died December 8, 1885. I assume some type of accident happened since they were all died on the same day and were all burried together, but through my research I haven't been able to find anything about what happened. There was also an HZT Wilson that was 107 when he died. We had a sheet with some family histories, but none of them had anything about this family. any help or direction of where to look would be appreciated.

thanks.

Bryan policeman A. G. (Race) HEARN, d. 9 Feb 1870

RonDeLord — 18 Jan 2007 1:37:39 GMT

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. Bryan policeman A. G. HEARN was stabbed to death by William McIVER or or about 9 Feb 1870. Virtually nothing is known about HEARN. In the Brazos Co obit book, there was a W. T. HEARN, 40, who died in 1895 and buried at Alexander Chapel (I assume this is same cemetery). He was from TN. The 1860 census for TN reports an A. G. HEARN, 36. It is unknown if there is a connection, but I am curious if any HEARN/HEARNE's are buried in the cemetery.

James E. Blaylock — 8 Jul 2006 8:42:00 GMT

I am searching for information on Alex Lewis b. 1895 and Cora B. (Copeland) Lewis b. 1897. They appear as a black couple in 1920 for Brazos County, but I think this was a Census taker error. On the 1930 Census, they appear as a white couple with their children. Any information on this couple and their children would be appreciated.

Possibly Austin School in Bryan in 1926

Dianne Ramsey — 2 Aug 2006 6:31:18 GMT

I cannot say for sure but I think I've attached two pictures of Austin high in Bryan. On is a class group picture. It is labeled 1926. The second seems to be a football team picture. Looking at the faces, both appear to have been taken the same year. Looking toward the football picture, (Alfred) Richard Ramsey is middle row, far left. His brother Nelson Ramsey is front row, far left. Thought others might enjoy looking for relatives. Please post if you can identify someone. With enough positive IDs maybe we can prove the school and date of the photos beyond question.

Shadric Reed family

Lou Poole — 27 Jan 2002 3:47:06 GMT

I'm hoping someone out there might know something about the Shadric Reed family. He first shows up with his new wife, Narcissa/Narcissus in the Tyler County 1850 census. He's 24, and she's 18, both born in Louisiana.

In 1860 the family had moved to Walker County (riverport town of Tuscaloosa) where he's listed as a teamster. The children consist of Sarah Jane, 8, Susan L., 6 and Samuel L., 3. Sarah Jane married Samuel A.J. Thomas of Prairie Plains, Grimes County, in 1866.

In 1870 the family had moved to Brazos County where the children in the household are now Laura, 16, Samuel, 13, Lucien, 10, Flournoy, 6, and Clara, 3.

I now know that Narcissus died 16 Nov 1886, and Shadric died 3 Dec 1897. Both are buried in the Boonville Cemetery in Brazos County (just east of downtown Bryan).

There was an S.L. Reed who served during the Civil War in Terry's Rangers, but I can't be sure at this time if this was Shadric.

And that's about all I know. If anyone knows of what happened to the other children (other than Sarah Jane, my wife's g-g-grandmother), or where in Louisiana they came from, or anything about Shadric's and/or Narcissus' parents, I'd really love to hear from you.

James Donahue, b. 1843, Arkansas

Richard Foster — 16 Jun 2006 4:45:43 GMT

Found this family on the 1870 Brazos County census:

James Donahue, 27, Farmer, born Arkansas
Bither Donahue, 30, Keeping house, Arkansas
Wm Donahue, 14, Laborer, Arkansas
Jonna Donahue, 16, at home, Arkansas

Anyone familiar with this family? I have a Byather Spires who married a Donahue, but she was born in Mississippi in 1832 and I'm trying to determine if this is the same woman or not.

OLD PHOTO FOUND OF SIMMONS CHILDREN

Judy Erickson — 7 Jun 2006 3:17:45 GMT

Dear List,

I try to rescue old identified photos and find their families. With that said, I have just purchased an old cabinet card style photo of two children. They are identified on the back as "Mr. William A. Simmons and his twin sister". These children are probably 8-12 months of age, dressed in white outfits and sitting together in a chair.

Photo is in excellent condition. My guess would be this photo taken around 1900-1910. It is clear, and has no damage or fading.

Photo was taken (imprinted on front side) by Harper Studio. They had 4 locations, Bryan, TX: Ennis, TX, Temple, TX and Waxahachie, TX. I do not know which location this photo was taken. I will also post on these county sites.

If these children are your family and you are interested in this wonderful old photo, please contact me privately at: jmje36@aol.com.

Thank you, Judy in TX
