My new e-mail is ShrlMurp4@aol.com. Can not fine death cert of John Franklin, called "Bud" Garrett. Need to find funeral homes that operated in the area at his time of death: 6 Jan 1921. Could be his death cert was never filed. Do not what county he died in. He was a wagon cook and moved around from ranch to ranch.

Re: 6666 Ranch / Pitchfork Ranch

2003-06-22 17:41:06Z

The King Ranch ("the oldest and greatest ranch in Texas" per Mona D. Sizer) is not in King County, but in south Texas nearer the Gulf Coast. First owned by Capt. Richard King, who came from New York. I have a copy of "The King Ranch Story, Truth and Myth" by Mona Sizer (who has written more than 20 romance novels). She lists about ten more books about the King Ranch as her sources, so I am sure you will be able to find considerable documentation on the Kings.

Sam -- Thanks for the reply. I will keep your name and let you know if I ever get anything firm. By the way, did you attend the Carpenter Family Reunion in Amarillo yesterday? (June 21, 2003). I have considerable information on the Carpenters and regularly correspond with them if I can help you in any way. I will write to you independently since I didn't have your name in my genealogy --- only Shirley Murphy.

I interview my grandmother Maude Thelma Garrett in 1977 and she did not know how they were related. Her gr-parents, Thomas Columbus Carpenter and Mary Jones, raised the Woodard children. She said they came with this family from Ms to Tx. On 1900 census, King Co, Samuel O Woodard is a cousin. Keep me posted if you find anything;

I will investigate further. I also found King Springs Ranch in San Antonio that was started by a King so I am not sure which one is the ranch I am looking for. I will be interested in the book if it turns out to be 6666 Ranch. I will let you know. Thank you for your reply.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE DUMONT BAPTIST CHURCH ON NOVEMBER 5, 1922 UPON THE DEATH OF EMMA NEELEY CRISWELL WHO DIED OCTOBER 18, 1922.

(Original typed on letterhead stationery of Claude Adams, Pastor Dumont Baptist Church)

Dumont, Texas

Whereas, It hath pleased God to remove from our midst our beloved Sister Mrs. L. H. Croswell on Oct. 18; therefore, be it

Resolved, That though we are sad over our loss, we bow submissively to God's will, realizing our loss is heaven's gain.

Resolved, That we have lost one of our most faithful members, one who was always ready and willing to do any work that would glorify her Master: that her beautiful life and helpful ministry was an inspiration to those with whom she came in contact; and her influence lives on forever; be it further

Resolved, That we the members of Dumont Baptist church be more faithful and live more consecrated lives.

To the bereaved companion and children we would say, in this sad hour of affliction look to God who has promised to never leave thee nor forsake thee;

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes, one copy sent to the Baptist Standard and one sent to the family. Respectfully submitted,

Committee (signed) Mrs. A. Holmberg

Shelbys and Flippins in Dumont

Amy Dyer — 2002-07-18 13:46:27Z

Another researcher shared an article she had in her files about my Walker family. Louisa J. Walker b. Jan. 26, 1851 m. 1)James Asberry Flippin Oct. 13, 1878 in Comanche Co., TX. She married 2) W. H. Shelby July 2, 1885 in the same county. Louisa's younger sister Mary Dove Walker b. Sept. 5, 1868 m. John H. Shelby January 29, 1893, county unknown. The article states that "Dove" and John Shelby came to King Co. in a wagon train from Indian Territory in 1904-05 and were among the first to build a house in Dumont. John hauled freight and mail and later ran a gas station in Dumont across from the gin. Louisa Walker Flippin Shelby lived with her sister and bro-in-law, and her Flippin family visited there. John died of face cancer abt. 1936, and Dove eventually went to Farmington NM to live with another sister, Annie Stocking, where she died in the 1950's.

I'd appreciate any additional information, especially regarding the children of Louisa, and her date of death. These sisters were the daughters of Asher Walker and Nancy Ann Johnson. Asher was buried in Dumont Cemetery in 1913, so he probably came to King Co. to live with his daughters. Their younger brother, Perry Asher Walker, was my g-grandfather.

Re: 6666 Ranch / Pitchfork Ranch

itslammrda — 2002-11-30 16:11:50Z

I have a book called "King County: Windmills and Barbed Wire". This book covers King County, Texas. There is a W.C. King originally from Paris, TN who arrived in Texas in 1914. This info was entered into the book by his wife Deva C. King, 3729 Gene Lane, Ft. Worth, TX 76117. This book was published in 1976 so I doubt that she is still around. It appears, according to the book, that the 6666 Ranch was started by Burk Burnett. The ranch is still, or was in 1976, in the family. The Pitchfork was started by D.B. Gardner and Col. J.S. Godwin. I don't see any mention in the book of a King being owner of either ranch.

6666 Ranch / Pitchfork Ranch

lmortonmagri — 2001-07-22 22:30:48Z

My grandfather, A.C. Miller, was a chuck wagon cook for both the 6666 Ranch and the Pitchfork Ranch. I'm not sure of the time period. I did find a book on the Pitchfork Ranch that had a lot of his kinfolk listed on the payroll roster but not him. Does anyone know where I can get the information, particularly for the 6666 Ranch. I have already placed an order to purchase the book on the Pitchfork Ranch.
