Need help about the above names. From the 1870 Census
Flora and her children are living with
Natt Roberts and
Elsa Roberts. The people living in the home are all named
Roberts. But on the 1880 Census of
Freestone census,
Flora (bonner)married Jack
Gouldsby on 12/25/1874. Their son was named
Soloman Gouldsby and Flora's children from a previous marriage.
Before I can claim
Flora as my great-great-grandmother and Sarah as my great-grandmother, I need to connect to living ancestors who probably knows about the family members I am searching.
What lead me to the
Freestone Area was my great-grandmother Sarah Ann
Roberts 7/15/1861 or 1860 last name was misspelled on the 1870 census as Roberta instead
Roberts. I know for sure, she married my great-grandfather William Alexander on 3/7/1897 in the Nacogdoches,
Texas. They had 6 children and she had several children through previous marriages. On the 1900 Census, she had 12 children and nine are living. I would like to know if she married anyone in the
Freestone,
Texas area? Also, Sarah and her family left Nacogdoches,
Texas round 1909 to
Dallas,
Texas.
Sarah's children: Janie
Moore, Lewis Black, Alexander: Milton, Jennie, Mary, Mattie E,
Augusta,
Cornelia Linthecum or Linthicum: Annie, Louise, Amanda,
Otto. I believe most of the children were born in Nacogdoches,
Texas. From the
Linthicum death certificates their father was
Simon Linthicum.
