Looking for descendants of Enoch Elijah Placker Sr. and wife, Mary Louise Rashell Placker. They were married in the 1870's and had 11 children. They lived in Bexar, Live Oak Counties, Texas. My grandfather, William L. Williams, was Mary Louise's first child, b. 1869. Some of the Placker children were Elijah Jr, Wesley, Rosa Lee, Maggie, Laura.

I am a descendant of Elijah Placker. My father, Arthur Placker, was the son of Elijah Jr. He had three other children. I have been trying to learn more about Elijah Sr., esp. anything about his parents. I have been told that I am 1/16 Indian, but haven't been able to learn any more than that. Any response would be appreciated.

His brother William Franklin Ross was adopted in Abilene, Tx. In 1949. They are trying to find any of their family. They saw their mother last in 1958 or 59. and have had no contact since with any of their birth family. Any help would be appricated, They would especially like to find any siblings. The last time their mother visited them she had two boys with her and they believe that these are brothers. thanks for any help.

Hi - I'm the daughter of Arther Placker, a son of Elijah Jr. I can't help you on your search of Annis. My Daddy passed away in 2000. I do believe I heard him and our Aunt - Lorene McKee - mention Annis. This was in around 1993, which was about the last time I visited with her. Our Grandmother, Maggie Placker was still alive at that time. If I remember rightly, they were saying they weren't sure what ever happened to Annis - she left and they thought she went to California. I have a half-sister who lives in Hot Springs, also. I didn't know she existed until I was 13 and my parents had divorced, and didn't meet her until 1992, and we have had contact ever since. Lorene McKee lives in Seguin, TX - close to San Antonio. I know of a brother, Clifton, who lived in California last, and is no longer with us. I'm not sure of any more children of Elijah Jr, but I know he was one of 9 children, and his father's name was Elijah also. I still have some unanswered questions, and your e-mail has renewed my thirst for that info. I know there is a Placker reunion every summer somewhere in TX, and have asked for info on it. The person who gave me the most information was a Mrs. Jansen. I will try to find her address and send it to you. I wish you luck on your quest - keep me informed, as i would also like to know more about my Daddy's family, also. Maureen

Maureen, I spoke with Faye Janssen last night on the phone and she is sending me all the information that she has that might help and as soon as I have her address and that information i will pass it on to you if you will send me your address, She told me that Annis is really Annie Elizabeth, We are looking for any medical history as well Billy is diabetic and his son has a heart defect that has shown up in his baby. Thank you so much for this information. Billy saw his grandmother Maggie in the mid 70's but has had no contact with anyone of his family since then. My e mail is dhaleyhll@yahoo.com Thanks Donna

Faye was the one that provided me with a lot of information, already. She seems to be a real nice lady. She has a history of working in a library, so she really had the knowledge and access to all records. She even sent me pictures of our Great Grandfather Elijah Sr & other pictures. Hopefully she will be able to help you find the info you desire. I would still like to know if and or when there is going to be another Placker reunion, if you could find that out and let me know.
If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Clifton's first wife was also living in Arkansas - and had remarried - when she passed away. I believe she passed away the last couple of years. I think her last name was Price, but I'm not sure. Anyway, she had two boys who were Clifton's, and i think they are still in Arkadelphia.
I know Aunt Lorene is still living, and she should know as much about her sister as anyone. Her name is Lorene McKee, and she lives in Seguin, TX. I will try to get her phone number for you this pm.
Thanks for the reply - I enjoy talking to family - even if I have never met them.
