I am looking for info on the ancestors and decendents of Andrew Jackson Cheairs in Texas. The info that I have is that he was among the people who created Houston County in TX. He was born abt. 1838 in Hempstead Co., AR; d. 1899 in Killeen, Bell Co., TX; m. Margaret Ann Prather who was b. 1846 in TX; d. 1877 in Porter Springs, Houston Co., TX. The only child of his that I know is John Eli Cheairs who had Lidia Cheairs and John Monroe Cheairs b. Jul 31, 1874, Navarro Co., TX; d. Apr 13, 1940, Abilene, Taylor Co., TX. He was married to Mary Etta Brock.
Does any of this sound familiar?

He was married to my grandmother Doris (his second wife). Does this sound farmiliar. They had sixteen children (I think) and both lived in Dona Ana, NM just outside of El Paso, TX. Does any of ring any bells for anyone? There is not a lot of information in my immediate family about our lineage and I would like to know more about or tree. Thanks, Melinda.l

Hello, thanks for your response. It seems that you may be my cousin. My mom is CeCe. Pete and Doris were my grandparents. My full name is Melinda May McCammon-Goldner. I got married a few years ago and that is where the hiphenation is from. What a small world. Anyway, I think you're missing Jenny. I haven't seen you since you were babies. I guess we really do have Cheairs' all over the country. Please tell Alan and Pam that I said Hi. Gotta run for now, please keep up your search, I know that I will. If I find out anything else, I'll let you know. I do know that my mom has been researching also. You could try to e-mail her and see if she can help you. Her address is: benn@totacc.com. Happy Thanksgiving. Keep in touch, Melinda.

I am the great-grandson of Andrew Jackson Cheairs. My cousin Dave Ellis of Austin Texas is the best person to contact for information on our lines. Also, I can give you the address of Ray Anderson, who is now the keeper of "The Cheairs Index."

Don, I am a descendent of David Boling Cheairs, thru John Titus Cheairs thru Ida Ophelia Cheairs Pipkin thru Ida Margaret Pipkin Sanders. I think that is everyone in correct order. Anyway, the were residents of Tillar, Arkansas. Drew and Deshea counties.
I am related to the Nathaniel Cheairs line from Springhill, Tenn. My grand mother spoke of visiting her cousins at Rippavilla (the family home)many times. I have correcponded with Nathanial Cheairs Hughes in the past but have lost his email address and have lost Ray Andersons address and telephone number. I know that he is in Lufkin or Nachadoches but I haven't run him down.
I would appreciate it if you would let me have his address or telephone number.
For information, the Cheairs in Little Rock, Ark. are kin. They are the first cousins of my mother.

Thanks;

Harold Sanders

I too am a decendent of the cheairs family. John Francis Cheairs, Jr was my great, great, great, great grandfather. Andrew Jackson was our 7th and 17th president but NOT Andrew Jackson Cheairs.
