Need Obit: Jesse Franklin Allen died Burnet, 4 Oct 1976

p8j8o8s8f8o — 5 Jul 2008 9:57:07 GMT

Dear Volunteer,
First of all thank you for volunteering your help and valuable time. I am trying to trace a cousin's family that seems to be "lost". I have found a member who died in Burnet.

Jesse Franklin Allen, born 18 Sept 1907, Poth, Texas; died 4 Oct 1976 Burnet,TX. He evidently was buried at Lake Hills Memorial Park according to the USGenWeb Burnet Co. web site funeral notice of 6 Oct 1976 however I am hoping for an obituary.
I "think" he lived in San Antonio Texas between 1935 and 1945 having two daughters: Anna Mae and Martha Florence by his wife Inez Busby. I am sure his parents were John Lovic Allen and Anna Mae Wilson

Would there be a possibility of obtaining a copy, for a fee, of an obituary? The dates of the USGenWeb site for the county for newspaper sources don't seem to cover that year.

I would appreciate any suggestions and again thank you for your help! Thanks, P.J.

Butler Mystery

chambers79981 — 14 Jul 2008 7:26:13 GMT

I went to Bear Creek Cemetary where a lot of my relatives are buried and found a Lockie Butler buried there. My ggggrandfather's name was Lockie Butler, so I thought it was him, but when I came home and looked at his birth and death dates, they didn't match up. I found on the Texas Death Index that it is in fact a Mrs. Lockie Butler who is buried there. There are no marriage listings online for the time that she would have married and I can't find her in the Texas Birth Index using just her birth date. (I was thinking her husband was another Lockie Butler - possibly a son or grandson of my Lockie Butler - or her first name is Lockie). Nothing seemed to jump out at me. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone on this board would know the maiden name of this Mrs. Lockie Butler and if she in fact was married to another Lockie Butler (other than my ggggf) or another Butler altogether. Any help is appreciated. Her birth date is 7/23/1906 and her death date is 9/7/1933.

Thanks

Wommack/Sheppard Families

jimlinc1 — 26 Aug 2008 12:28:45 GMT

The 1800 Moore Cy, N. Carolina census lists a Britian Wammock family and neighbor John Shephard family. They are again listed as neighbors in the 1810 census for Moore Cy except the spelling changes to Brittain Wommack and John Shepherd. John Shepherd appears to stay in Moore Cy until 1840 when it appears he is in Marion Cy, Georgia. I have not found Britian Wommack in the 1820 or 1830 census but it appears he is also listed in the 1840 census for Marion Cy, Georgia. An 1842 will in Marion Cy GA lists two daughters named Elizabeth Womack and Nancy Womack. I am trying to determine if these daughters married sons of Britian Wommack and the sons names. Can anyone identify the families of Britian Wommack and John shepherd from the above 1800/1810 census. Nancy may have married one William Wommack. As you can see the Wommack and Shepherd spellings changed from time to time. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Any Stewarts or Hunts in the area, I would appreciate you contacting me.
Flora and Sanford were my grandparents.

Where Is She???

Pbass1 — 13 Feb 2002 1:09:56 GMT

I am searching for the grave of my gr-gr grandmother, Hanna Catherine Copeland-Perry. I have searched Williamson and Burnet Co. cemetery records with no luck.
Benjamin Tichner Perry and his wife, Hanna Catherine owned land in both Burnet and Williamson Counties in the late 1800's. Family History records indicate she died 01 October, 1899 in Liberty Hill. However, since some of the land they owned entered Burnet County, perhaps this is where she is buried?! Her sister-in-law Martha Rebecca Perry-Barker (and other relatives) are buried in the Mahomet cemetery. Any ideas out there? If you are also researching this family, please contact me. I have lots to share/swap. Thank you.

Marriage look up please - Cox family

CSG93 — 29 May 2008 4:53:15 GMT

My uncle Willard St. Clair (aka Sinclair) was in Texas after World War I and met Callie Amelia Cox, daughter of James K.P. Cox and Louisa Missouri Carter.

Sometime around 1918-1919 they were married.

The 1930 census for them states Willard was married at the age of 25 which gives us the 1918-1919, but Callie was married at the age of 18 to someone else in early 1900-1903. I think she married James Pearce but this is only a possibility right now.

We know for sure Willard and Callie were married after he got out of the service.

Could someone look up Callie's marriage in early 1900 to whomever, and also see if she married Willard in Burnet County?

We were also told that they had a child, but I haven't found any children yet to date.

I am grateful for any help. Thank you.

Janie Goode Walker

JimMcMillen75 — 16 Jun 2008 3:15:17 GMT

The query here that was gatewayed to the mailing list about this person has appaerntly been removed. If whoever was looking for further information about her will look in the Texas Death Certificates that recently came on line, they will find her. Some of the info in the original post appears to be wrong (according to the DC) but is close enough that the Janie Walker who died in 1945 is the same person. She didn't die in Shamrock, however, but in Collingsworth County. Just click on All Events and choose Death/Burial, enter Jamie Walker and 1945. You'll find her there. Put your cursor on her underlined name and the information will come up. You can also view and download a copy of the original DC.

Help Me Burnet Friends - Lucinda Whitis Shelton Smith

genetracks — 22 May 2008 1:23:00 GMT

I have been searching for 15 years trying to find the parents of my grandmother Annie Smith. The search has led me to a probate record for Archibald Monroe Smith who died July 23, 1922 in Burnet County.
I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBATE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A COPY.

"Archie was married to Lucinda Whitis and in Archie Monroe Smith's probate record, filed 23 Nov 1922 in Burnet County, Annie Walker is listed as being an heir/daughter of Lucinda. Two sons of Lucinda's are also mentioned Si (Cye) Shelton and Mark Shelton (who is listed as deceased with heirs)."

Lucinda Whitis first marriage was to Fielding Shelton in Kentucky. He died about 1882 and she, with her parents/family, moved to Burnet county, Texas.

Her second marriage was to a J. J. Smith, 22 Jan 1883 in Burnet county. But by 19 May 1890, she marries again to Archie Monroe Smith who requests that Annie be given to her sister Mary B Whitis Harper to be raised. I am wondering what happened to this J. J. Smith. Is there a divorce record? Did he die? What the initials stood for. It is NOT James J M Smith, born 1839 GA. in the 1880 Burnet census.

Lucinda died 15 Jul 1921. Could there be a probate for her or maybe an obituary?

Below is the 1900 census for Archie and Lucinda. Can't find Thomas or Jesse past the 1900 census.

Amanda Anderson Alford Groce 1831-????

PhyllisRisingerThomas — 20 Apr 2008 8:51:29 GMT

I’m looking for info on Amanda Anderson Alford Groce and would appreciate any info/clues you can share.

Census records indicate she was born in AL abt 1831.

She m. John C. Alford in Fayette Co TX, 7-20-1850; he was killed in July 1860.
Their children: Emma b. abt 1853, James b. abt 1854, Genoa b. abt 1856.

She m. James L. Groce in Fayette Co TX 12-23-1868.
She may or may not be the mother of James’ daughter, Oceanica Annie Mae Groce, who was born in Fayette Co TX, 7-27-1863.
A guardianship for Oceanica in Fayette Co TX says that Amanda & James are the parents who fought for her custody.
Deed records in Burnet Co TX have an affidavit stating that Amanda & James were divorced [and the parents of Oce], another deed record in Burnet has Amanda living in Marcelena, Wilson Co TX in 1893.

I have not found a divorce record for Amanda & James.

Samuel Holland - trying to find parents

antiquemll — 31 Oct 2007 2:34:11 GMT

I saw a post on this message board about Samuel Holland, a pioneer of the county.
I am writing a book about murders in N. Texas. I have very little info to go on and I hope that someone can help me.
Sam Holland was about 35 years old when he was killed in Wichita Falls, Wichita County, Texas April 3, 1916 putting his birth at around 1881. Very little was known about this man except that he had been in Wichita Falls for a few weeks, coming from Sneedville, Cottle County, Texas near Paducah where he had been a fireman on the railroad and a gin repairer. The newspaper mentions that he had a sister, Mrs. May Wyatt of Grapevine, Tarrant County, Texas and a brother in law, J. A. Crouch of Crowley, Tarrant County, Texas.
Any information as to the family of this Sam Holland would be appreciated! Julie

Lewis, Thomas Bracey

Bruce Berry — 27 Aug 2005 5:45:27 GMT

I'm not sure how to do this. I've never tried to do my geneology, nor worked with a message board, so please be patient. Here's what I can tell you just now-my mom was Wanda Mozelle (Bunny) Lewis (1929-1993), her dad was Vernon Bruce Lewis (married to Ava Beatrice Gregg), his dad was Robert Franklin Lewis and his dad was Thomas Bracey Lewis. Around there, I get confused because there are 2 Thomas Lewis' about the same age. I remember as a kid, us visiting Robert Franklin Lewis' home outside of Spicewood, and my mom telling me the house had been built by slave labor. I also remember her telling me that granite from the Lewis land was used to build the capitol.
Anyway, I'd like to find out more about the Lewis & Gregg families, so anyone with info, or is willing to help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Bruce Berry

Elizabeth Simpson, "witch" ?!?

SteveRossignol — 16 Sep 2007 7:42:59 GMT

Hello All--

I am doing research into the history of the Texas Hill Country during the Civil War and I have come across the local legend from the Bertram Area of Elizabeth Simpson, b April 10, 1834, d. September 24, 1864. She was allegedly an African-American slave who was hung as a horse thief and "witch" and buried in the old Bittick Family Cemetery near the old town of Gabriel Mills in western Williamson County.

Her grave is still the site of teenagers at Halloween, who leave presents on the headstone. I am sure that many of you have heard these stories. But how did these stories begin?

My question here is purely historical---I am not really interested in the "occult" stuff, but a hanging for "witchcraft" would seem to be rather unusual, if indeed it is correct. A woman hanged for horse theft also seems strange, but perhaps not totally out of the question. I am leaning towards the additional theory that she may have been lynched for Unionist activities, as were many other Hill Country residents during these times. Or she may have been an escaping slave.

If any one amongst you can tell me any information whatsoever I would greatly appreciate it. Any local rumors you may have heard would be fine, but historical evidence would be great. What was her relationship to the Bittick family? Would a slave have been buried in a white cemetery?

Any and all answers welcome. You may also reply directly to me at stever@moment.net.

Thanks!

In talking with those that are still alive and able to remember she had all the characteristics of indian. Ola A Lewis the third child of James Henry was my grandmother. She married M.L. Bizzell. I think one of her brothers married a sister of Papa Bizzell. I was in Georgetown yesterday and looked at Mary's death certificate and it listed her name as Mary E Lewis and her father as John Rushin. I went to Burnet and looked at the marriage license and it listed her name as Mary Hettie Rusha.
