Searching for a marriage between (male) Lindsey and (female) Laymance living in Van Zandt County, Texas around 1872. Their daughter, Ophelia R.K. Lindsey, 1895-1923 is the object of this search. Found parents names on a death certificate but no first names. Any help appreciated

I am not related. Van Zandt Texas Genweb has transcribed marriages beginning in 1848. No match found Lindsey/Laymance-Lamance.

Texas death certificates shows a Thomas Eugene Lindsey born 11 Jun 1885 in Brownsboro died in Caldwell Co 1955 lived in Martindale, Hays Co at the time, buried in Itasca Cemetery, Hill Co; father listed as A L Lindsey and mother Margarett Lamance. Mrs. Thomas Lindsey informant. He was a police officer.

City/county match says there are two Brownsboro's one in Henderson Co one in Caldwell Co. Don't know how reliable this information may be but research says it was Henderson county where his mother was also born.

Texas death certificates 1890 - 1976, most US census records, soundexes all names.

Earlly settlers along the Horn Branch and the Kickapoo Creek waters are buried here. Martin Horn, for whom, Horn Branch is named and his wife Minna are buried here. The last burial occured here in 1913 and was Era Tindel, when roads to this site became impassable due to bad weather. A new cemetery was established nearby and named The New Rock Hill Cemetery in 1953. The Old Rock Hill Cemetery was deeded to the Rock Hill Cemetery Association, which owns and maintains both sites.

I have the information that you are seeking. It is extensive so contact me at bill-lewis@sbcglobal.net. I will be in Brownsboro till Monday or Tuesday without internet.

I have been to Old Rock Hill and it is a tough get to, it took me almost 2 years to get lined up to gain access it is behind a locked gate and there are two washed out places on the "Road" the route is not marked and it can be confusing. It is grown up and there is a lot of poison ivy.

Bill

Oh my word, all the work you did. Thank you so much for all the information. The one I needed was found in the Abe L Lindsey and Margaret L Laymance in Hill County. They were right under my nose just 15 miles away. Again, I thank you and appreciate it so much.
