Seeking info re James Helton b. 1845 in MS d. 10 Oct 1939 Wise Co., TX

tnhounddog — 26 Apr 2008 5:15:26 GMT

I am seeking info re James Helton b. 1845 in MS & d. 10 Oct 1939 in Wise Co., TX.

The James Helton is am researching was the son of Peter Helton b. abt. 1815 in TN & Thursy McCoy b. 1825 in TN. James was b. abt. 1845 in Tishomingo Co., MS.

According to family stories, James Helton married Nancy Ann Robinson. They lived in TN until abt. 1890 then settled in Wise Co., TX. I am trying to verify that this is the correct James Helton.

I found James, Nancy & family on the 1900 Census Justice Precinct 4 Wise Co., TX.
Helton, James H. h Nov 1845 MS TN TN
Nancy A. w Aug 1851 MS TN TN
James M. s Jul 1875 TN MS MS
Nara E. d Jan 1880 TN MS MS
Nettie L d Aug 1882 TN MS MS
Roe B. Jul 1884 TN MS MS
Demetria A. d Sep 1886 TN MS MS
Edgar C. s Oct 1890 TN MS MS

James, Nancy, son Edgar C. & daughter-in-law M. Fay are listed as buried at the Cottondale Cemetery.
James Helton Nov 20, 1845 - Oct 10, 1939
Nancy Ann Helton Aug 8, 1850 - Mar 21, 1926

Edgar C. Helton 1889 (Nov 20) 1969
M. Fay Helton 1900 - 1997

Are obits from the 1920's & 1930's avaialable? If so, what is the source.

I tried the links for death certificates & obits on USGenWeb for Wise Co., TX, but was unable to access the links to make a request for some reason or another.

I would appreciate any helpful suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

John W. Strawn

JStrawn34 — 12 Mar 2008 5:14:12 GMT

Seeking information concerning the family of John W. Strawn Sr. b. 1824 in TN and wife Olive b.1842 in IL (m. 1878 in IL) were reportedly in Wise Co, TX sometime between 1880 and 1900. He and wife had probably moved to Wise Co. from Erath Co. but I have no documentation. His son John W. Jr. b. 1849 in GA. moved to Erath Co and married Mary M. Butchee b. 1865 in MS in/around Chalk Mtn TX in 1896. John Sr. had moved his family to TX from Elk Co KS sometime after the 1880 Census. John Jr. moved his family to Beckham Co. OK in 1900. John Sr evidently moved to Beckham Co, OK as his death is reported there in 1904.

Minerly or Minerely Cemetery, TX (Wise County?)

asouthall1 — 22 Feb 2008 2:42:50 GMT

I have obtained funeral records for Sarah Ann (Howard Teague d.1931, her husband Oscar Fitzallen Teague d.1925, & their son Martin Frank Teague d.1926, all buried in Minerly or Minerely Cemetery, as it was spelled at least these two ways on the records. They lived in Decatur, but I am unable to find any mention of this cemetery on the Wise County site or by Google. It is a mystery. Oscar's record states Minerly near the Drop, so maybe this describes a drop in the land that was called the Drop?
If anyone has any information as to at least the location of this cemetery &/or a list of names interred there, please email me at:

The TEAGUE Family lived in Wise County from approximately 1860 until 1885, when they moved to Foard County, Texas. There is apparently a Teague Cemetary in Wise Co., located between Rhome and Newark. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Daniel BOONE Family Photographs

DanFranklin48 — 7 Jan 2007 2:37:28 GMT

I have been working to identify a BOONE family picture since about 1990 and have finally made some progress. It came because I received a picture from a descendant of Josephine BOONE b.1876, TX.

The new picture is the one identified as Daniel and Margaret BOONE Family about 1900. Identfied are Back Row: Ida Ann, Victoria, Daniel Webster, William Penn Front Row: Josphine Adusta, Daniel, Margaret and Sunset.

Comparing the other picture Boone Family, I can now identify:
Back Row first on left: Daniel Webster BOONE b.1869, TX
Back Row Third from Right: Margaret (PAINE) BOONE b.1845, IL
Middle Row first from left: Sunset BOONE b.1883, TX
Middle Row first on Right: Daniel BOONE b.1841, IN

I'm guessing that the older lady in the center with the hat might be Julia Ann (BOONE) PACE b.1843, IN. She is a sister of Daniel BOONE and married Thomas D. PACE. My wife is a g.g.granddaughter of Julia Ann BOONE and this would explain why her family had the photograph.

Daniel BOONE and Julia Ann BOONE were children of John BOON b.1806, VA and Abigail LESH b.1811, OH.

Daniel BOONE and his family are listed in the 1870 census of Denton Co, TX and the 1880 and 1910 censuses of Wise Co, TX. John BOON and his family are listed in the 1840 and 1850 censuses of Wabash Co, IN.

Appreciate any assistance in identifying the others in this photograph.

Burkburnett Cemetery and Owens and Brumley Funeral Records for Burk are now online!

antiquemll — 25 Dec 2006 4:11:30 GMT

I am posting this on this board because many people moved from Wise Co. to Wichita Co. and surrounding counties.

Rebecca Lucier needed a project for her Gold Star Girl Scouts Badges which is the equivalent to a Boy Scouts Eagle Badge. She, with the help of her mother Diane set out to survey the Burkburnett Cemetery.
This turned into a bigger project then they expected! Not only did they survey the Burk Cemetery which is now online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/wichita/wichtoc.htm but they also were able to borrow the Funeral Home Records from Owens and Brumley in Burkburnett and scan the actual Funeral Records. The master index is online here http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/wichita/funeral/owen...

Then while they were working on all of this, they discovered an unknown African American Cemetery in Burkburnett called "Journey's End" and were instrumental in getting it mowed and cleaned up and found proof of many, many burials at the cemetery that were in unmarked graves.

Diane and Rebecca are leaving Wichita Falls this week. Diane's husband was stationed here at Sheppard Air Force Base and they are retiring to Idaho. I just want to thank both of them for ALL of the hours and hours of work that they did for the community while they were here.

Diane has left me with DVD's of the actual Funeral Records. These records are similar to a death certificate and have birth and death dates and in many cases if the family knows, the name of the deceased's parents. If, after locating your ancestor on the master list at the link above, you would like a copy of the actual funeral record, please e mail me at neatstuffgifts@aol.com and I will be happy to send it to you.

Boone Family Picture Wise Co, TX

DanFranklin48 — 26 Nov 2006 6:15:42 GMT

This is possibly a picture of the family of Daniel Boone b.1841, IN. He is listed in the 1880 and 1910 censuses of Wise Co, TX.
This picture was with the descendants of his sister, Julia Ann Boone, and was identified as the Boone family. It is most likely it is this Daniel Boone family, but the identities of those in the photo are unknown. Appreciate any help in identifying those in the photo.

Ruby Fay Allmon Moody

carol — 22 Oct 2006 3:14:31 GMT

My great aunt Ruby Fay Allmon Moody lived in Paradise for many years and died in the Decatur hospital in June 1995. She had no children. Her husband, Jess Frank Moody, had a son by his first marriage. Both Aunt Ruby and Jess are buried in Mount Olivet in Fort Worth.

Aunt Ruby had about 6 very large portraits of her grandparents and great-grandparents....who are my great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. I have tried for several years to find what happened to those portraits.

By chance, would anyone have any clues? Know Jess Frank Moody's son, know anyone local who might have handled an estate sale, know of antique dealers who might be a resource?

I know this is a long-shot...but any help is appreciated.

GREEN(E) HELP

hginger1962 — 22 Aug 2006 5:03:03 GMT

I am looking for information on a L.B. Green(e) based on the 1880 Eastland Co., Tx census who married a N.C.LNU. L.B. was born about 1844 in Tn and his wife was born about 1845 in Al. The census stated that they had three children; F.L. c1870, M.M. c1874, and M.O. c1877.

I have been looking for the parents of a Minnie Mae(May) Green born July 7, 1875 in Texas died July 7, 1915 in Boyd, Wise Co., Tx. She married a Dr. William Crawford Huddleston. I have had no luck with finding any information on Minnie in Wise County so I used an alternate spelling of her last name and came across this census in Eastland County, which isn't far from Wise. I found Minnie in a 1910 Census with her husband in Wise County, Tx and it states that her parents were born in Tn and Al.

Does anyone have any info on this family. I believe this L.B. Green(e) is Leonidas Bluford Green(e) born Febuary 10, 1844 in Roane Co., Tn. He was the son of Austin Letheridge Greene (1811-1903) Roane County clerk and Cordelia "Delia" Crow (1815-1849). Married a Calisty LNU. This Leonidas had a daughter named Minnie born very close to the time the Minnie I am searching for was.

Please help

Thanks,
Leslie

Hi all, I am doing some research for a fellow. I can trace his line back to 1880 Wise Co, the John W. Harvey family. Further back, however, in 1870, I can't find them anywhere. He is found in 1860 in Saline Co, Ar tho with his parents and family. It looks like he married about 1875 or so to Margaret A. ? possibly McLain?. I am looking for sources that can verify when they came to Wise Co, where they were in 1870, and where they are buried. Any help would be greatly appreciated

James WALKER and wife Josephine Maggie Gilcrease Walker

kevynacarm — 14 Jul 2006 8:07:28 GMT

I am looking for information on my great aunt Maggie Josephine WALKER (nee Gilcrease) and her husband James Walker. Almost all I know is the information from her death certificate, for which her husband James Walker was the informant.

At the time of her death in 1966, they were living on Route #1, Paradise, Wise County, Texas. She was a Cook and Cafe Operator, though she had cancer from 1963-1966 so I don't know when/ if she would have quit that job before her death.

She was born in Cherokee County in 1912, but I do not know when she married James, or when they moved to Wise County. Maybe he was from there.

While my main interest is information on Maggie, I would like to know more about James (other than just his name) and his immediate family also. I also don't know if Maggie & James had children.

Thanks for any information, no matter how small it may seem. Thanks!

Help on finding my mother's past

michael lovell — 15 May 2006 5:09:24 GMT

My grandmother was born Ella Marie Fisher on June 21, 1917 in Big Stone Gap, Va. She passed away July 1978 in Kingsport, Tn.
My grandmother had 5 daughter (my mother was one of the younger ones) and moved to Kingsport when my aunts were very young. Throughout my grandmother's lifetime she never talked about her family, my mother's and aunts' father(s), siblings or anything pertaining to her past.
When my grandmother passed away, my mother discovered she had aunts but didn't attempt to know them.
As she's gotten older she's developed medical problems that are considered genetic(heart problems, diabetes, etc.) and, with my 31st birthday fast approaching as well as my children growing, I am trying to find someone who may have some info one my grandmother's family for medical as well as personal reasons.
I would love to connect with someone who can shed some light on this part of my genealogy.
Any help, hints, etc will be much appreciated.

W H Buchannon married W E Hasket in Jack Co., Tx 1877

astevens_0691 — 19 Mar 2006 8:54:11 GMT

I finally found where Winnie Elizabeth Mahaffey Hasket Mann Buckhannon married her Buchanan husband. The marriage occurred in Jack Co., TX on 20 Jun 1877. W. H. Buchannan married W. E. Hasket. So now, might anyone know the given names of W. H. Buchannan? He may have died or divorced Winnie Elizabeth before the 1880 census, when she was enumerated living with her son John Thomas Hasket on the 1880 Wise Co., TX census. Since Winnie Elizabeth married Mr. Buchanon using the surname Hasket, that brings up the question of her marriage to Jacob Mann, which occurred between 1860 and 1870. Did Jacob Mann die, or did he and Winnie Elizabeth divorce? Questions, questions. I thought I looked through the Jack County, Texas marriage records five years ago!

John Oliver Mode, Margaret Ann Peeler, 1890 veterans' schedule question

AlisonStevens — 4 Jan 2006 12:10:42 GMT

John Oliver Mode and his wife Margaret Ann Peeler lived in Wise Co., TX near Alvord from priot to 1880 until at least John's death in 1894. They are buried in Alvord Cemetery. There is a good possibility that John Mode fought for the Union out of Kentucky during the Civil War. Does anyone have experience with the Veterans' Schedules made during the 1890 census? I have never looked for them before.

OLD PHOTOGRAPH RESCUED

Judy Erickson — 31 Jan 2006 9:30:35 GMT

I have rescued an old postcard type photograph of a young girl and a man standing on a porch. I suspect this photo was taken in the very early 1900's. The name on the back of the photo is "Miss Cordie Willson" and it also says Paradise, Tex.
I cannot tell if the photo is of "Cordie Willson" or if this was a postcard sent to her. But, it is an interesting photo and may be a find for somebody. I rescue old photos and try to return them to their families. If Cordie Willson is your family, or you are interested in this photo, please contact me privately at: jmje36@aol.com.

Identifying Men in Bridge Photograph (1870-1890)

NORMANLEWIS — 29 Jul 2005 10:07:05 GMT

Hi everyone.

I am hoping someone interested in the history of Wise County may be able to help me identify a photograph and possibly the men in the photograph. I believe the photograph is from the late 1870s to the late 1880's.

The photograph was in a trunk belonging to my 2nd Great Grandfather, Samuel Young. I believe he may be one of the men in the photograph.

He lived in Denton County from 1850 to the early or mid 1870s, living north of Denton in the Clear Creek/Gribble Springs community.

After leaving Denton, he moved to Wise County. I know he lived somwhere in the western portion of the county, somewhere between Chico and East Mound (south of Bridgeport).

Around 1883, he moved to eastern Jack County, living south of Cundiff and north of the West Fork of the Trinity.

I suspect the photograph was taken in the late 1870's or early 1880's. The bridge is wooden timbers on brick pilings. There are twelve men in the photograph. I think it is Wise County, but can't be for sure.

On the website below, you can see the bridge, a closeup of the group of men and closeups of each of the men's faces. If you can identify any of then men or the bridge, I would be so gateful.

The website is http://www.rowden.net/norm/bridge

Thanks for your ideas or suggestions.

The Marcus L D Higgins (b1846) family moved to Wise Co. around 1876, Precint 4. Wife Martha Jane Harvey (b 1848)
They had 5 children at that time and 2 more born in Wise Co.
Mary Bell Higgins (b 1869) Is the one in question. Spring of 1888 she had a sweetheart (the unknown) and when she told him she was going to have a baby, he left for parts unknown. Marcus then went to a neighbor and paid him to marry Mary Bell. This was Louis Butler. The child was born 2 Dec 1888 in Collin Co. Big family secret that looks like everyone knew. The Higgins family soon moved to Collin Co. to. Other family names from Wise Co. are: Honeycut, McLain, Copland, Thompson, Wallas, Swink, Thomason, Shankle, Smith, Aylon & Messel.

Freeman Family

DavidKentC — 7 Oct 2005 4:43:24 GMT

I am interested in a Freeman Family who moved from Hutton Township, Coles County, Illinois to Wise County, Texas. A Widow, Mary Freeman, born about 1799/1800 in Kentucky is listed in the 1850 Hutton Township Census with the following children: Simeon, Milton, Manuel, Minus, and Edna, all born between about 1831/2 to about 1839/40 in Indiana and Illinois. Simeon married 29 Dec. 1852 in Coles County, IL Susan Ingram. Milton married 29 Oct. 1859 in Coles County, IL Barbara Coon and Edna married 6 Jan. 1858 in Coles County, IL William Coon. Barbara and William Coon were children of Michael "Red Mike" Coon and his wife, Sarah (Welty) Coon. Evidently Simeon, Milton, and Edna all moved to Wise County, Texas and had families. Would appreciate any data on these people. Thank you

Adair marriage lookup?

marvinrfoster — 29 Aug 2005 9:51:59 GMT

I wasn't sure whom to ask about a lookup so I'll ask here.

My ADAIR kin are from Alvord, Wise County and I found my grandmother and three of her sisters in the Wise County Genweb marriage pages. I've also found them in the 1900 census for Wise County, but I'm unable to read the name of the mother of this tribe. Also, I have no idea what the father's name is either. It appears he died before the 1900 census was taken. So what I'm really after is to see if any of these marriage notices have information about my grandmother's parents, like their names. Here's what I have:

ADAIR, Miss Alice, married RAILEY, G.E., 8 Dec 1906, Book 6, Page 91
ADAIR, Miss Ethel, married WALLACE, Charles, 2 Jan 09, Book 6, Page 406
ADAIR, Miss Mollie, married PRINGLE, V. T., 6 Nov 09, Book 6, Page 496
ADAIR, Miss Ollie, married MORELAND, Louis, 24 Jul 04, Book 5, Page 282

I also found a male named ADAIR in the Wise County Genweb pages who is about the right age to be the father of these girls. This is also from the Groom list of the marriage records.

ADAIR, William, married RIDDLE, M. E., 4 Feb. 1883, Book 1, Page 137

Maybe someone with experience and tell me if these marriage documents usually have information about the bride or groom's parents. Anyone know?

Thank you in advance.

Descendants of Josephine & John Hoefle

kathysig1 — 19 Nov 2005 6:48:08 GMT

I am searching for descendants of Paul Schneider and his daughter Josephine. Josephine married John Hoefle and they lived in Windthorst, TX. They had children named Martin, Catherine, Mary, John P. and Clara. Martin and John were pharmacists.

I am interested in copies of old family pictures of Paul and brothers Andrew and Franz Xaver Schneider who immigrated from Furschenbach, Germany in 1880s. My grandfather Frank Xavier Schneider may be Paul's brother. Any help would be appreciated. Email me at kathysig1@insightbb.com. Thank you.

Wanting to know if they had any children. In Wise County Pioneer Book, it does not list any. Looking for a connection to James E. Martin that married a Madora Jane Caddell around 1880. Do not know who James E. Martin's parents are. Can anyone help me?

F. M. Andrews

imcrafty1 — 20 Jul 2005 1:38:01 GMT

Can anyone give me any information on F. M. Andrews. He shows up on the Wise County 1862 Tax Rolls (owns $120.00 in miscellaneous property) and does not show up again. I am trying to find out if he is the first husband of Mary Elizabeth Whaley Andrews Blewett, who was supposed to have died in the Civil War. He could have been the father of James Roland/Rolen Andrews, George Allen Andrews and John Harris Andrews. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
