P. E. DUGAT dd:1870

A. Neale Rabensburg — 24 Apr 1999 12:00:00 GMT

It came to my attention this date from a representative of the Oakwood Cemetery Association, Refugio, REFUGIO COUNTY, TEXAS, that a headstone has recently been unearthed with the name P. E. DUGAT and a death date of 1870. I researched my own DUGAT database and found a PETER (PIERRE) EMILE DUGAT (DUGAS) who died in 1870. PETER E. DUGAT was married to SUSANNAH (SUSAN) WINFREE daughter of A. B. J. (ABSOLOM JESSE) WINFREE of present CHAMBERS COUNTY, TEXAS. PETER EMILE DUGAT was the son of JOSEPH F. and CELINA BREAUX DUGAT of LOUISIANA and TEXAS. PETER E. DUGAT'S brother JOSEPH LEONAR DUGAT and his family left the lower Trinity River Basin in December, 1869 for St. Marys located about 20 miles from Refugio. Most of the earlier DUGAT arrivals to the REFUGIO COUNTY vicinity settled in St. Marys and are buried there. I was not aware that any DUGAT family members were buried at Oakwood Cemetery. Does anybody have any clues who might be this P. E. DUGAT?

Chambers Co deputy constable Levi Oliver, d. 5 March 1930

RonDeLord — 17 Jun 2007 9:58:28 GMT

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. On 5 March 1930 R. H. WALLACE, 19, shot and killed Chambers County deputy constable Levi OLIVER. The newspaper reported that the shooting resulted from a "family fuss." The question I have was OLIVER and WALLCE related or was OLIVER attempting to break up a family fuss?

My Family Surname - Dillard

Cliff Dillard — 30 Jan 2006 4:34:26 GMT

I am also researching my Dad's family who lived in Old River or Winfree (Chambers County, Tx). His name was David Vinson Dillard, born in 1909. His father had 7-8 kids: William (+ Lena), Adelle, John, Bronson and several others. We had lost touch with them many years ago and I don't remember much about them. I think that their father was George S Dillard and that he lived near the Coopers (William Henry and his 9 kids). I remember Uncle Bill and Aunt Lena lived up a hill about a mile from Old River. Two of his brothers - John and Bronson (bachelors), lived down the hill, nearer the water. He had a son Buddie who had lived in La Porte.

Would appreciate any info that anyone might have on my family.

I know that there is another Dillard family in Mont Belvieu, but am not sure that they are related. Anyone know for sure? Have received word that they probably are not related.

My Uncle's Family - Terry, Chambers & Liberty Co., Texas

Cliff Dillard — 30 Jan 2006 4:28:22 GMT

If anyone has information on my uncle's family in Chambers County, Tx. We have been running into a brick wall, so far. This is what we think that we know:

George Washington Terry & Mahaley Bennett had a son Robert Silas Terry (born 7/3/1869).

Robert married ??? and had a son William (Bill) Terry. She died or they divorced.

Then, Robert married my grandmother Sarah Emma Minnie Cooper (born 10/28/1894) on 3/24/1908 in Anahuac. He had 3 children: Charles Washington(Walter)Terry(8/31/1911) and Margaret Julia Terry(9/3/1913) and Vernon Silas Terry(6/6/1916). Charles was born in Moss Bluff (Liberty Co.).

If anyone knows anything about Robert or his dad George, it would make my day. We haven't been able to find out anything about them - where did they come from, etc.

Please send me an E-mail if you know about them.

Henry HOLMES b. ca 1835 ILL? married to a Mary b. ca 1834 Ohio? then in 1870 married to a Julia b. ca 1847 GA or LA.

Children of Henry HOLMES :

6.Jessie D.b. ca 1878 married to a Julia C in 1900 Chambers Co, then Clara C in 1910 Galveston Co
7.Virg (Virginia) b. ca 1880

I don't know who Virg married or anything about her. I don't know what happened to Howard.

I have not been able to find the son of Frank Henry, Joseph Henry in 1910 ...?? This is the direct line that I am "chasing"

I am not sure if the children of Jesse, and Edwin stayed in the Chambers Co area. I am not sure what happened to Howard or to Virg, children of Henry Holmes.
I assume that Henry Holmes died in Harris Co between 1880 and 1900, but he could have moved to Chambers Co prior to his death. I am not sure what happened to his wife Julia,either.

Love to hear from anyone on these lines.

Thanks

GRIFFITH,DUGAT,JOHNSON,WILLIAMS

A. Neale Rabensburg — 11 Jun 1998 12:00:00 GMT

Henry GRIFFITH, Albert Gamelia DUGAT, Dugat WILLIAMS and Blair JOHNSON served together during the Civil War in Hoods "Texas" Brigade, 5th Texas, Company F. During the Second Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) on August 30, 1862, Henry GRIFFITH of CHAMBERS COUNTY, TEXAS, according to his cousin Lucinda DUNMAN of COLEMAN COUNTY, TEXAS, witnessed the death of both Blair JOHNSON and Albert G. DUGAT. Henry GRIFFITH was wounded himself at the battle and taken to Yorktown, Virginia, presumably for medical treatment. I deduce that Henry GRIFFITH was incapacitated and unable to report back to his Company F of Albert's death, leaving it up to others to discover that he had indeed perished in the battle. It was Albert DUGAT's first cousin, Dugat WILLIAMS, of LIBERTY COUNTY, TEXAS, who searched for Albert DUGAT the following day. Dugat WILLIAMS' Civil War letters back to his fiancee Laura BRYAN in Texas are in the possession today of Anne Parker. Dugat WILLIAMS had the sad task of discovering the body of his first cousin Albert Dugat. He buried him within a few feet of where he fell.

Are there any letters or other documents that survive today from (Dr.) Henry GRIFFITH which might shed some additional light on the events of the 5th Texas and circumstances surrounding the death of Albert Gamelia DUGAT? I have read the transcription of Henry's letter to Lucinda DUNMAN that is recorded in Flavia Fleishman's "Old River Country" book. Does anyone know who Blair JOHNSON was? The known written accounts describing where and when Blair and Albert died on the battlefield that day vary. Also, the wound that killed Albert Dugat has been vividly described in two separate accounts as decapitation by an artillery shell and a wound clear through his right breast.

Hello,

I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, James B. Petty, who served as Justice of the Peace in Cedar Bayou in the late 1800's-early 1900's. He married Rebecca Ann Butler Reid in 1885 and had the following children:

Emma Petty, Aug. 15, 1886
Oscar Joseph Petty, April 7, 1888
William Silas Petty, Feb. 19, 1890
Mettie R. Bell Petty, July 28, 1896
Henery (sic) Arvin Petty, Dec. 8, 1897
Robert Doyle Petty, Oct. 31, 1899
Myrtle Elizebth (sic) Petty, Sept. 26, 1902
Floyd Schilling Petty, March 11, 1904

James Petty was born in Tennessee on December 21, 1860, and died in Cedar Bayou, TX, on May 19, 1908, at the age of 47.

Alfred & Erika Falander family history

Kermit Lohr-Flanders — 17 Jan 2001 12:00:00 GMT

Searching for history of the Alfred & Erika Falander family.
They were Finnish imigrants to Crystal Falls, Iron County, MI in 1903. They later in 1910 moved to Stowell, Chambers County, TX. Here they farmed a small acreage of citrus fruit. The hurricane of 1915 wiped them out and again put them on the move to Coos Bay, OR. There most of the 8 children married and moved off to parts of the west coast.
All of the children, except Walter, changed their surname to Flanders

SHERMAN, KNESS, SCHRECKENGAUST

gdavis99 — 17 Sep 2005 11:55:10 GMT

Searching for information on the death and marriage of L. R. Sherman. I believe his first name is Leo or Lev. He was b abt 1817 in NH or NY and was living in Wallisville by 1860. He died between 1870 and 1880, as his wife, Margaret had married John Stengler by 1880. Margaret and L. R. Sherman had children Edward b abt 1843 in Illinois; John b abt 1845 in Illinois; and Leverett b abt 1847 in Missouri. I noticed the marker in Anahuac Cemetery. This is definitely the family I am seeking. Does anyone have access to death records or cemetery records that would give information on the full name and death date of L. R. Sherman?

Thanks very much for any help given.

Events connected with the Fereday family of Anahuac 1930's.

amyovsepian_1 — 20 May 2004 12:40:38 GMT

I am looking for information about a man who was connected with my great-grandparents, Samuel E. Fereday and Minnie Viola (Cook) Fereday, of Anahuac in the 1930's. I do not know the man's name, but apparently he was S.E. Fereday's business partner, maybe with a fishing camp called "Sam's Place" or some other venture. Apparently some things happened and this business partner hung himself probably in the late 1930's. Does anyone know anything about these people, or know where I could look to find out?

Thanks,

He had 9 children: Mary Ann, Charles, Luther, William F., Laura Isabel, Joseph E., Emma J., Baptiste F. and Jessee. Mary was born in about 1851 and Jessee was born in about 1879. I'm new in the geneology area and would like to add to my current knowledge. The other names above are male spouses of the women listed above (except for Griffith & Stubbs). These last 2 are spouses of Henry Charles & George W., sons of Charles(second son of William H. above). That's a mouthful.

Sherman - Jones

lumoto — 28 May 2003 4:52:23 GMT

My g-grandparents are Amanda Petronile Sherman (b 15 Oct 1863 – d 14 Dec 1918 – flu epidemic) m Andrew Prather Jones (b 14 Aug 1863 – d 10 Jun 1929) m 16 Nov 1882, Wallisville, Chambers Co, later moved to Beaumont, Texas.

She was the daughter of Lothrop Blockman Sherman and Mary Sophronia Kirk.
Andrew Jones moved into Chambers Co from DeWitt Co. aft 1870. My suspicion is that he was perhaps distant relatives to the Joneses in Wallisville. His ancestors were from Frederick Co, VA, to Kentucky and Indiana, Missouri then to Victoria, TX.

Would love to compare, share, swap info on this family.

She is buried in Eminance Cemetery. Would like to know the death date and/or place of burial of Lothrop Blockman.

Arthur WIGGINS was the only child born in LA while the other children of John & Elizabeth WIGGINS were born in Chambers County.

Raskopf a fireman in San Francisco

smith1956 — 1 Feb 2003 12:19:55 GMT

My Great Grandmother was married several times. Looks like her second husband was a very nice looking man named Raskopf. I have documents signed by her as Emeline Raskopf. I don't think this marriage was very long lived. She was in San Francisco during the big earthquake and supposedly her husband was a fireman at that time. Then I find her in 1910 in Nome Alaska already divorced from another husband. I would love to know who Raskofp was. I have a great picture of the two of them, the back is labled, "Little Grandmother Raskopf" I have a feeling that Grandma was a pretty hot little number. Probably needed a fireman around!
