Looking for any family members of John P. Jones & Annie Jones. Last I knew they lived in the Killeen, TX area. John P. was known to me as Uncle Johnnie. He was my great-uncle and brother to my grandpaw Frank Edward Jones.

My John David Lawley married Beatrice Bellzora Wooten His son John Donald Lawley married Susan Tripp. Their Son Floy Newton Lawley was my mother peggy's father. I am trying to find more on John David and his wife Beatrice. Maybe we can help each other. It seems to be a well hidden family line. Our family stories claim it is Native and Freedmen(Slaves who were freed)

I want to say THANK YOU!! I was positive that this Mary did not belong to my family, even though I would welcome cousins searching the same line. It looks like Mary L. has found the right connections. Now if I could get more information on my Mary (who I think is really Mary E), it would be wonderful. My father said that thought that she died young and did not marry. My grandmother was Emma (Emily) of the family in Missouri. Thanks again.

James Frederick GREEN, d. 5 July 1892 (Donley Co Constable-Former Ranger)

RonDeLord — 2009-11-06 18:28:52Z

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. On 5 July 1892 Donley County Constable James F. GREEN and Cattle Inspector G.B. (Bingham) GRISSOM were killed in a shootout with Bob BELL in Clarendon, Donley County. While the newspaper reported all three men were buried locally, the place of burial has not been located. GRISSOM was buried in the Bolivar Cemetery in Denton County. I am searching for GREEN's place of burial and any surviving family members.

James Frederick GREEN was elected Constable for Precinct 2 in Donley County on November 4, 1890. The newspaper reported that GREEN had been a lawman in Clarendon for 5 years and a ranger and lawmen for a total of 16 years. It was also reported that he had killed a black man six weeks earlier in Clarendon while attempting to arrest him. He was reportedly born in Georgia. The newspaper reported age 36 at death which makes year of birth 1856 but ranger service records show age 22 in 1881 which means year of birth as 1859. The 1880 U.S. Federal Census reported Fred J. Green; Precinct 1, Callahan, Texas,; Age: 21; Estimated Birth Year: about 1859

The Texas State Archives reported records consisting of payment for service records from 1882-1887, under both Capt. G. W. Arrington and Capt. S. H. McMurry. He was in Co. G with Arrington and Co. B with McMurry. In addition a muster record was located:

Name: J. F. Green
Rank: Private
Comm. Off: Capt. G. W. Arrington
Organ: Front. Bat. Co. C
Date enlist: Mar 1, 1881
Date disch: Aug 31, 1882
Age: 22 Height: 6'
Descrip: Dark Hair, Brown Eyes, Dark Complexion
Place Birth: Georgia

Next she married a W.H. Morris and had 4 more sons by him. she must have been a busy lady! Walter Alvin was born 11 Apr 1886 Cornhill, Tx and died 3 Feb 1950 Tom Green Co. Tx. One sorce lists his siblings as Lucy Belk....Etta Belk b: 1892 Tx ....Myrtle Lucille Belk b: 1894 Tx..... There is other info if interested email me a cnjm@juno.com

Re: James Hullett and Francis Black

JoanERambo — 2009-11-02 04:41:21Z

I tried finding Francis Centers on the Soc Sec Dth Idx. Nothing for 2002. Do you know where she died and where she was living when she died?

Are you sure her first name was spelled Francis? Usually the female version of the name is spelled Frances. I tried it both ways, still nothing. If we can find a record of her Soc Sec you can obtain a copy of her application and back when she filled out that application she may have remembered more about when and where she was born, or names of her parents.

Do you have any idea of about when she was born? There are a couple of James Hulletts on the SSDI and one might be the one you want. One was born 1895, the other in 1907.

Happy Hunting (^_^)

Re: James Hullett and Francis Black

jessewhisenhunt1 — 2009-11-02 04:19:54Z

Francis Black later came Francis Centers and died 2002. Knew her but dont know where she is from and I can not find my fathers birth certificate. She did not remember the town she was from so I could not find out about my great grandparents or rest of family. James Hullett is my wife's fatheer but he laeft when she was born actually he was inprison in texas at birth and when her mom put her for adoption he was notified. He wanted to stop it but could not since he was in prison at least that is what we were told. He might have been from Mississippi and a native american but we dont know for sure

I am hoping someone can help me locate my needle in a haystack.

I am trying to locate Andrew Wells from Texas. Back in 1927 he went to Mt. Olilve, Covington County, Mississippi and had an affair with a Mary McMillan. Andrew's son was born January 27, 1927. He was named A W McMillan and later changed his name to A W Wells.

Due to health issues, we would love to get a medical history on the Wells side of the family. If any of this sounds familiar to you, please contact me at jw1947@juno.com.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Re: Sarah Roberts (maiden name) Nacogdoches, Texas?

chocolateice — 2009-11-01 17:17:10Z

Not yet. I am having a problem with Sarah's maiden name. On her marriage cert from Nacogdoches, Texas 7 March 1897 she is Miss. Sallie Roberts and with her son's Milton amended birth cert she is Sarah Hancock. Sarah had several children prior to marrying my great-grandfather Will Alexander (Otto, Amanda, Annie, Louise and their father is listed as Simon Linthecum). Attended a genealogy lock-in at the Waco Library on 10/30/2009 and I was told that Simon Linthicum could be the father of Sarah and that I should be looking in the Rusk Area and Nacogdoches, Texas for records. At this time, I am not sure. Sarah stated on the 1930 census that she was married at the age of 20 for the first time. With his information on Sarah, I would appreicate if someone would check if any marriage licenses for sarah (except William Alexander) are available in the Rusk and Nacogdoches, Texas. I can be reached at the following email plt@hot.rr.com Thanks!

Re: Della Green in Texas

tahirihlang — 2009-10-26 23:10:17Z

I found her!!!
She and her family lived in Anderson County texas from the 1850 till 1870's where they moved close to the dallas area.

Her mother name is Lurena from Tennessee (1822) and her fathers name is Samuel S Green from Alabama (1828). Samuel drops off the census in 1870 and I suspected that he may have died in the Civil War. However Lurena only states she is single on the census following his "disappearance" and not widowed...how odd!

Confirmed family link finding her son WS Henlee and her brother William H Green living in the same household in Oklahoma in 1900.

Any one linking themselves with this family?

I am still looking for confirmation of marriage Della Green (1855). Texas and William Henslee(1858) b. AR in the dallas area approx 1865-1870.

Edward Davis had also previously been married unless there was another Caroline Davis that lived in Coahoma Co prior to 1855, you do not say when the older Davis half brother was born; family 95.

Edward Davis 36 1814 born Baltimore I presume MD
Caroline Davis 24 born MISSOURI 1826
Harriet Davis 10 born 1840 MS
Nancy Davis 4 born MS 1846
Monro Davis 3 born MS 1847

I'm not finding any of these people, including Mary Louisa Lunsford in Coahoma Co in 1860 census who was not born until 1862/1863.

Hugh West 1853 IL IL IL farmer/married

Frank Tucker 1869 AR listed as stepson Martha was about 15/16 when Frank was born.

Hugh and Martha unknown had two known children; twins Emmett and Emma who married their Groves' step siblings. Emmett married Madora "Dora" Groves and Emma West married Henry Adolphus Groves. It appear Henry Adolphus and Emma died before 1920 or they left their two daughters to be raised by Emmett West and Dora Groves West.

Mary Louisa/Lou is listed as Lan M West born Oct 1862 MS in 1900 census married Hugh West in 1895 according to the 1900 Delta Co census. Between the two husbands she bore 10 children 7 were living in June of 1900

She married Mr. Groves in MS; Henry Adolphus was born Dec 1886 MS, Charlie M Groves Sept 1890 TX, twin sister Madora "Dora" Groves 27 Sept 1890 and Julia A Groves Feb 1893 TX.

Charley M Groves natural born 27 Sept 1890 Delta Co TX registered WW I Draft in Medicine Mounds, Hardeman county, Texas, section worker for the RR had wife and one child in June 1917. Wife "Mannie M" born TX 1895, son "Orbria L" born TX 1915, Lorena L L born TX after June 1917 TX, and Armilda born OK 1919 lived in Stringtown, Atoka Co 1920.

"Ber Derious" Groves born 11 Aug 1882 also registered in Hopkins County Texas. "Belva deRice" Groves born 11 Aug 1881 / 1882 must be the 5th Grove's who is not in the WEST household in 1900. The correct transcription should read Bev Derious, lived at RFD 1, Dike, Hopkins Co, wife was May M BURKHART Groves, he was farming for G. I.? Vaughn Sept 1918.

Hugh West's children from prior marriage to Martha unknown were Emmett/Emmit born 19 Oct 1889 TX twin sister Emma born 19 Oct 1889.

Emmit West registered WW I Draft Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County natural born in Casper? Texas he had wife and 3 children in 1917.

I have marriage records from Franklin county and do not find the Groves/West married in Franklin Co so it was probably in Delta County ? No, not finding them in Delta Co either. Emmet and Dora Groves West and son "Eulace" were in Franklin Co 1910 census.

Bluford Calvin Goodman born Hopkins Co TX 20 Jan 1869 resident of Cooper, Delta co died 22 Mar 1937 Pecan Grove Community in Delta Co buried in Cooper wife was Mary at time of death father was George Goodman. Two census records show he was born 1875 or 1876.

I think the Grove's and West's wound up in Oklahoma, not finding death certificates in Texas.

Came accross you post, I descend from Wheeler O Harris, your post has filled in some blanks for me. I have quite a bit of info on Wheeler's line, let me know if I can help you.
As far as the McClendon's, do this, google T.B. McClendon, then go to Thomas Burton " Tom " McClendon by Arnold and Moberly Family Genealogy. It should be on the first page.
There are pics of him and Malinda and a pretty good history,or you can e-mail me at rummy@ptd.net,and I will send a link

Re: Nelson Levias

krissy6161 — 2009-10-22 14:35:51Z

What is the best way to find records on African Americans prior to the civil war? I have Nelson Levias who was born in 1843 and his father who was born in 1820. The census on his father Levi Levias says that he was from Mississippi, his mother was from Georgia (I think) and his dad was from Virginia. What is the best way to find his father in records? Or is there a best way?

jameswilliams323 — 2009-10-24 20:53:50Z

Are you referring to the letters that I posted on my tree from Odie Minetra to Ed? Or are there other letters that you know about? I have Odie as Odie O Minatra 1889-4/10/1949. You are correct about his parents. What are you referring to when you mention the informant was mrs. Gertrude Minatra-wife. What was she the informant on? Anna Minatra was my grandmother. I think one of here sisters was George E Colliers mother. That is where I am stuck. Thank you so much for responding to me.

Abernathy is in Lubbock Co, TX. You might try RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) site. One of the volunteers for Lubbock Co, will take digital photos of headstones. Maybe you could get him to take one of the house you wanted, also.

Re: George Elwood (Ed) Collier

HL2604 — 2009-10-24 12:17:07Z

That's difficult to research! His daughter, Edna Mae (Collier) Williams did not know her paternal grandparents? Add the death certificate of Andre Jack Minatre who died 13 Mar 1912 in Victoria County at age 83. He was Andrew Jackson Minatre son of David Minatre found in 1850 TN-Giles-District 9-Page 20.

HL2604 — 2009-10-24 15:54:32Z

It's very confusing! There are several letters on Mr. Williams' tree from Odie Minatra to George Collier. Best "guesstimate": Clarence Odie Minatra (9 Oct 1887 - 10 Apr 1949). Parents were James David Minatra and Betty Jane Garrett of Giles, TN. The informant was Mrs. Gertrude Minatra-wife. Surname "Garrett", again! In addition to Ellis and Victoria Counties, the Minatra/Minatre/Minatree/Minatrea/Menatree/Minitree family was also in Navarro County. The surname has so many variations, DNA is needed to prove kinship?

Re: George Elwood (Ed) Collier

HL2604 — 2009-10-24 23:42:59Z

View online death certificate for Clarence Odie Minatra at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordseach/start.html#start The informant was Mrs. Gertrude Minatra. He also registered for WWI Draft in Runnels County as a single person who lived in Winters, TX. The birthdate, 9 Oct 1887, is consistent on both documents. See 1900 Ellis-Precinct 3-District 22-Page 40 for James D. Minitree[sp](42) and widowed with sons: Andrew(21), Clevie C.(14), and Oda[sp] C.(12). In 1910 Ellis-Ennis Ward 1-133-Page 14, find James D. Minatrea[sp](53), Clelvie(24), and Odie O.[?](21). Clelvie/Clelire was a public school teacher and Odie was editor of the school paper. In 1920 Navarro-Precinct 1-District 142-Page 2 find Odie Minatra(32), Gertie(21), and Modestine (1 5/12). Odie was manager of a state orphan home. In 1930 Dallas-Precinct 1-District 102-Page 23, find Odie C. Minatra(42) and Gertie(32). Odie was superintendant of an orphan home. Gertrude Minatra (12 Jan 1898 - 29 Aug 1978) died in Harris County per SSDI. In 1920 Haskell-Haskell-District 130-Page 6, find C. C. Minatra(34) and wife Ellen(27) living with L. M. Gruett/Garrett(62) and wife Cora(59).

Searching for William G. WALKER from GA to TN to MS to AR to TX

Bofratto1212 — 2009-10-29 16:36:38Z

Looking for information on the family of William G. WALKER b: 17 Aug 1813 in TN. d: 20 Oct 1873 in Collin Co., TX. Parents are unknown at this time. m: abt 1834 (place unknown at this time) to Mary Polly (McALISTER) dau. of David and Mary Molly (NALL) McALISTER. Mary Polly (McAlister) WALKER was b: abt 1819 in TN. William and Mary WALKER had nine children: Elizabeth A., Asa W., John Franklin, Julia E., George A., Harriett J., James D., Joseph H. and Martha D. WALKER. William G. WALKER was my gr-gr-grandfather. I have no information on William G. WALKER’s siblings or parents. This family has become my brickwall. Some researchers feel that William WALKER might be connected to the WALKER’s in Mississippi. Specifically to Isaac Newton WALKER b: 1780 NC and Jeremiah W. WALKER b: 1794 GA. Some say that William G. WALKER's fathers name might have been James Asa WALKER. I wish to correspond with others researching this WALKER line. Please contact me at jnb.fratto@verizon.net. Thanks for any leads or help. Barbara

Re: XIT Ranch

Harry936 — 2009-10-24 22:53:09Z

I saw a book at my local library about the XIT ranch. What little I know of it is this: A corporation in Chicago won the bid for building the state capital building, and was in return awarded all the land which was the XIT. It was a corporate owned ranch. Later they started selling off the land. The XIT no longer exists.

Re: Mary Lou Lunsford

bobbyroberts2112 — 2009-10-20 08:01:22Z

I'm sorry, I mistakenly said Mary Louise Lunsford was found in 1860 census. It is the 1870 district 5, Tunica, MS census which shows Caroline "Lumford", Margaret, "Louisa" age 7, John "Russell Davis age 17, and a Sarah Fox (unknown)

I have been communicating with the granddaughter (Elizabeth) of John Russell Davis who has been very helpful with this info. She has traveled to Mississippi several times looking up records. She resides in Texas. Her family records show Edward Franklin Davis died 1854, the same year son John Russel Davis was born (1854)
Edward F. Davis married Jane Caroline Glasscock 28 Sept. 1839 Phillips Co Arkansas, so she it seems was quite young.
Caroline, married Augustin R. Lunsford in 1855. Yes, you are correct, Augustin was previously married to a Rebecca, with child Nancy. Don't know what happened to them.
Record of Lunsford descendants show that Mary Lou's mom died when she was 12, she then went to live with a "Dora Vandever (Vandiver). Dora was born Madora Gillock. The "Gillock" family was supposedly well known for taking in orphans and strays! Madora's mother was Nancy "Applegate" Gillock. Madora was wife #2 of John Vandiver!
Dora Vandiver was in Delta Co, Texas by 1887 and Mary Louise was in next county (Lamar) by 1889, and then Delta Co where she married Hugh Arthur West 18 oct 1893. Hugh Died in Hopkins Co Tx 12-12-1904. Mary Louise ended up in Oklahoma. I wish we knew more about Hugh, all I know is he was born 1853 illinois. Their daughter Eva Louise West was my grandma! Hugh West married Martha E. Tucker in Saline Co Arkansas in 1874. 1870 census shows Hugh in Texas. Family story is Martha Tucker West died in a tornado near Norman, Ok. It's said Hugh had a sister named Emy Snyder who lived near Norman! Thanks for all the information, I hope I have helped. Bobby

Re: Mary Lou Lunsford

bobbyroberts2112 — 2009-10-19 06:12:08Z

This is the wrong lunsford family I believe! The Mary Louise Lunsford who married Adolphus Groves, & Hugh Arthur West, was born in Mississippi, not Missouri! We have recently found out her father was Augustin R. Lunsford who married Jane "Caroline" Glasscock Aug 30th, 1855 Coahoma Co, MS, marriage book A #98. Her parents split up when she was 9 months old. Mary Louise is found in 1860 Coahoma Co MS census as "Louisa" age 7, with sister Margaret "Mattie" & mother Caroline!
Caroline's #1 marriage was to Edward Franklin Davis. Their son "Rus" or John Russell Davis was Mary L's 1/2 brother. I hope this helps!
