I am looking for information about Joseph SMITH (b. 1835, TX; d. 1862- 64?, place unknown). Joseph SMITH married Mary Jane SIDES on 19 April 1855 in Cherokee County, TX. They had three daughters: Frances SMITH m. James Preston MCELYEA (25 Jan 1875, Cherokee Co.); Nancy Emeline SMITH m. Thomas Berry PATTON (28 FEB 1878, Cherokee County); and Joanna SMITH m.

In the 1860 Census for Cherokee Co., pg 417/418, Rusk, TX there is a Carolina ROBERTS, age 40, born NC listed with five children. I believe tht the youngest child MARY ROBERTS age 1,born in TX is my great grandmother and that she along with a brother moved to Houston Co.,TX around 1873 where she married JOSEPH M. JAMES, sometime before 1880, when she is listed on the 1880 Houston Co., Census at age 21 and married. Neither MARY or JOSEPH are on the 1890 Census and she died in 1898 and is buried without a marker. She had eight children before her death. I can find no records of CAROLINA or her other children, other than on the 1880 Houston Co, census where a CAROLINE ROBERTS is living with her son, JOHN R. ROBERTS. The 1859 Mortality Schedule for Cherokee Co., Pg 108 Beat 1, list an AMOS ROBERTS, age 63 born in SC and died 12/1859. Could this be the husband of CAROLINA and father of MARY ? Was there come kind of epidemic in Cherokee County during the 1860's that might have killed the children of this couple? I would appreciate any information on either CAROLINA or AMOS ROBERTS. Thanks, Jack G. FULSOM jfulsom@sat.net

Jordan and Emma married and their children were born in Mississippi. After Jordan's death, Emma raised the children there, perhaps to be near family. Then she went to Texas. What records are available that I can search to find Emma's cause of death, and perhaps the reason why she was in Texas? Did she move there or was she visiting? An obituary would be great, but any and all leads appreciated!

I’m looking for information about Joshua SIMPSON, born around 1801-1805 in Kentucky, and his son Rolan H. SIMPSON. Joshua was at some point in Indiana and ~may~ have married his first wife there in 1819, then remarried with Sarah Burks in McNairy county, Tennessee, where Rolan was born around 1832. They were in Arkansas in 1840, and then came to Rusk County, Texas in 1844. He was a farmer and stock raiser, and eventually moved from Rusk to Cherkoee county by 1860, where he died in 1869. Rolan married Sarah Trimble in 1852 and after her death married Sarah Keeton around 1871. He was an overseer, then a farmer and stock-raiser, then a miller. He supplied the Confederate army with beef and supplies, and settled in Henderson (1860), Van Zandt (1870), and finally Johnson county where he had a good-sized farm. I’d love to hear from other descendants of these folks. Thanks kindly.

I was looking for a little history on individuals named in a diary kept by my gg-grandfather, Amos Dickens JONES, who lived in San Angustine area from Jan 1847 to June 1847. At that time he moved to Cherokee Co. to be with his in-laws, the Joseph Cokers. Joseph COKER's wife died in Jacksonville 1853 and is buried in the Old Jacksonville Cem. Joseph COKER then moved to Bexar Co about same year along with his sons-in-law, Amos JONES and Hyram Carroll ROGERS and the rest of the unmarried Coker children.

Another of Coker's daughters married a David Walker BENNETT in 1855 in Bexar Co. Just in case you recognize the name. Bennett was b. 1830 Anderson Co. KY; his father said to be Jesse Bennett.

Amos JONES rented land from "Widow HORN". Amos mentions going to Lucious POLK's to get pork and another time to sharpen plows. Levi SHOCKLEY lived nearby and visited and then moved to Nacogdoches Co.(Feb 18, 1847). Robert McRIGHT visited. There are more names mentioned in Cherokee Co.

Another question in Cherokee Co. On the journey from San Augustine to Cherokee Co. Amos JONES details the route: Crossed Attoyac Riv into Nacogdoches Co. - thru Melrose - thru Nacogdoches "town": - thru Douglas - crossed Angelean Riv - then by "Cooks Fort" - then into Cherokee Co. It took 3 1/2 days & 85 miles according to the diary. Question: What is known about Cook's Fort today? Bob Battaglia <bobbatt@texas.net> in the Alamo City

Joseph TURNEY born 14 Feb 1812 in Morgan Co., AL. He died 29 March 1890 in Jacksonville, Texas. I think a lot of what I have came from your area historical society. I have bits and pieces - maybe you could file it somewhere in case someone is looking for info. I have some Civil War pension info on this family - someone might be looking for that, or have it but not know how their branch fits into the Turney family. Joseph Turney was the son of Daniel Watson Turney from Alabama. Daniel Watson Turney was the son of Henry and Elizabeth Turney from near Liberty, TN in Dekalf Co (originally Smith Co., TN). I have the will of Henry, his land grant from NC for help in defense of Fort Nashborough in Rev. War., where they family lived in Shenandoah Co., VA 1762-1787. Do you want all of this? Are there in researchers in your area working on the Turney family?

Joseph Turney b. 1812 - he married 3 times and had 16 children, 11 of who lived to adulthood. I would think some of them must still be around the area. I am expecially interested in what units they were with in Civil War.

A son of Joseph Turney started Turney Texas. This was James Addison Turney born 22 Feb 1845 in Morgan Co., AL. He died 1918 in Jacksonville. He was married to a RICE and a McDOW.

I don't know what other surnames are in your area. Turneys are related to the LOONEY family in TX. Also KLEPPER/CLEPPER, TIMMONS, MATHENY, COOPER, GILLIAM, BARGER, LEWIS, REAVIS, GRAY, POTTER, PRESLEY, CULLUM, BITTLE, ROGERS - if any of these names mean anything to you. I won't mention the Taylor or Spurlock families because that is such a mess, none of us have figured it out. Also a connection to REESE/REEVES/REAVIS. Some of these families I have info from early Shenandoah Co., VA. I have a copy of 1785 head of household census in Shenandoah Co., VA that has so many of these early families. Would you like me to send you a copy? There are Matheny, Turney, Cooper, etc in there. Every time I look, I find a family I had missed before.

I will get this all together and send. Hope you will be able to figure it all out. There are several of us working on Turney family. My branch was a brother of Daniel Watson Turney who went to Arkansas about 1834. I have a lot of info on Van Buren/Cleburne Co., Searcy Co., and some on Carroll/Boone Co. in Arkansas if anyone is interested. Seems a lot of those families later moved to Texas or OK.

Mary Turney Miller in Michigan

P.S. feel free to give my email to anyone working on any of these families.

I'm trying to research my family background, and I have been told by my father, that his father was from Jacksonville, Tx. If you can help me with any type of leads it would be appreciated. My father is black and I don't know if they kept any type of records for blacks at that time.

So far it has been slow going because of that very same problem. If you know of some type of links for African American Geneology records, it would also be appreciated.

Thank you

Philip

P.S : I'm currently living in Lusaka, Zambia, Africa, and E-mail is my only means of communicating.

P.P.S. In my research, I came across some information listed in the USGENWEB for Texas, on people who owned land in particular counties of the state. So, since I'm the adventurious type of person, I decided to do a search on Holbert. The following information is what I found.

1.) John M. Holbert owned land in Franklin, County, Texas 2.) Joel Holbert owned land in Harrison, County, Texas 3.) John O. Holbert, and John D. Holbert both lived in Hopkins County, Texas 4.) Stephen Holbert owned land in Cherokee County, Texas NOTE: His Last name may have been Halbert

Subject: LOVELADY, AMIS, LOVE, SEAHORN, CAMPBELL, COUGLAS, JARRATT, TORRANCE, JOHNSON, COOK, PEOPLES

Dear Mr. Bennett, attached find information about William H. Lovelady of your county. I hope it will be of interest to anyone doing research on the Lovelady family.

William H. Lovelady was born 3 July 1836 in Sommerville, Tennessee; marrried (1)Annice Amis (2) Hannah Love, daughter of Robert Council Love and Jane Seahorn; died Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas. His children were Elizabeth Ann (born 1861), Jesse E., James H., Robartus L. (born 18 April 1875) and John W.

He settled near Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas, in the 1850's and was on the 1860 and 1870 census of that county. On the 1860 Census he is listed with female A.C. age 21 and a child age 1. One version of the history of Cherokee County states that William Houston Lovelady's wife was Hannah Love and this is borne out by the census of 1870 which lists him with wife Hannah, age 29, and daughter Elizabeth, age 9 Assume the first wife died and he married Hannah Love.. William was a Captain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and lost a leg in that conflict. On 13 Febraury 1890 he announced his candidacy for State Treasurer of Texas.

It is possible that William Lovelady was the son of John Lovelady of Hardemon County, Tennessee. John was born 1790-1800 and was on the 1836 Hardemon County tax list. His children were John (born 1810-15), Thomas (born 1825-30) and possibly William. Records of an early day doctor of Fayette County covering the period 1850-55 show the doctor treated William, Thomas, John and possibly Mrs. Lovelady.

The son John (1810-15) married Elizabeth Campbell on 15 July 1839 in Fayette County, Tennessee. He was on the Hardemon Census in 1830 as age 15-20 years old and on the 1850 Fayette Census as 43 years old. William H. Campbell, age 16, is listed with him on that census. Could this be William H. Campbell Lovelady? John died in May 1854 in Fsayette County, Tennessee, and his estate was administered by T.H. Lovelady who named D. M. Thomas and William Campbell as his securities. Elizabeth Lovelady and her children (Joseph born 1841; John C. born 1843, Jefferson born 1845, and Polly Ann born 1849) were allowed one year's allowance from the estate. Apparently John was in the grocery business and half of the grocery stock was sold to Rushing-Lovelady.

Elizabeth Lovelady died in 1855 and Thomas Lovelady was appointed administrator of her estate. There is no mention of the children in the estate papers. It is interesting to note that a Joe Rushing was in Cherokee County in 1848. Joe Rushing was a teacher and not in the grocery business

I have info on Mollie but what I need is info on Wm. who may have been called Bill Rogers. A Bill Rogers paid property taxes for a while in Tyler. I have been unable to ascertain a middle name or initial in order to separate him from so many other William Rogeres. My Wm. could possibly belong to the Hugh Rogers on the Smith County Census. Nothing is for sure. Would appreciate any help on my William Rogers or any other Rogers in that area if for anything else is just to eliminate them. P.S.

I would appreciate it if you would post the following with the Cherokee
County genealogical queries.

  I am looking for the court records (will and/or probate records) of the
death of Catherine (Katherine) Grimes.  In the TX 1860 Census for
Cherokee Co. Rusk PO she was living as head of the household, along with
a daughter Angeline (mispelled as Adeline in the 1860 census).  There
were other children living in the household.  Catherine cannot be found
in the 1870 Census, so we assume that she died during the time 1860-1870.
 I am looking for a list of her children, and the date of her death.

   I am also looking for her family Bible.  I saw in a will left by her
husband, John Grimes, Sr, d. 1837, Stewart Co. GA, that she was given the
family Bible.

   Any information that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.
I have researched the descendants of Walter Grimes, who came into the
Port of Jamestown, VA in 1691.  I will be happy to share the
documentation that I have.

   There were many Grimes, cousins of Jessee Grimes, who founded Grimes
Co. TX descended from Walter Grimes, moving into Cherokee Co. TX during
1853-57.  Marshall and Epsy Grimes and children were one of many.
Catherine was traveling with Marshall.  They came from Coffee County, AL.

   Thank you very much.

  This is Christine Knudson from Alexandria, VA.  Thank you for sending
me the announcement of the Ancestor Swap Meet, June 27, 1998.

  I am looking for the death date and where buried in Cherokee Co. of
Catherine (Katherine) Grimes (widow of John Grimes, Sr). She left Coffee
Co. AL around 1853, along with her three daughters, Mary Catherine, Sarah
E. and Angeline E.  Catherine and her girls traveled to TX with Marshall
and Epsy Grimes and their children and Marshall's parents, Thomas and
Jane Grimes.  I located Catherine and girls in the 1860 Cherokee Co. TX
National Census, in the Archives in Wash. DC.

  Jesse Grimes of Grimes Co. TX, was a first cousin of John Grimes, SR
and Thomas Grimes.  A large group of Grimes, descendants of Hugh Grimes
(born in VA, resided in NC) went to TX from the period 1828-1860.

  I have the will of Catherine Grimes' husband, John Grimes, SR, who died
in Stewart Co. GA, 1837.  In this will, it states that Catherine was
given the big family Bible.  I am looking for that Bible which I think
will list all her children.

  I hope that Catherine left some legal papers at the time of her death
in the Cherokee Co. courthouse.  Does anyone know of any such papers or
of copies of Bible Records of Cherokee Co.?

  I will be unable to come to TX to the swap meet, but will exchange any
of the Grimes information that I have researched in VA, NC, GA and AL.

Cherokee Co, TX.  On the 1880 Cherokee Co, TX census there is a Jefferson
WALKER residing with Elbert M. & Louisa KIRGAN that is the correct age.
There is a Marguret WALKER buried next to Lula KIRGAN in Pleasant Grove

Dialville, Cherokee Co, TX .  There are also DYESS and LAMBERT graves in
the
same family plot.    Is there a connection between the
KIRGAN/DYESS/LAMBERT/WALKER families.  There were no death certificates on
file in Cherokee Co, TX on the LAMBERT or WALKER grave, but on the KIRGAN
death certificate, the maiden name says "don't know" but a Bessie WALKER
was
the informant.  Jeff David and Rhoda WALKER are on the 1900 Cherokee Co, TX

 Barbara Glass  Date:    Tue, 02 Jun 1998 20:48:39 -0400

Subject:         David S. Glass

I spoke with Ida Lee Edmuston today and she referred me to this website.
I am looking for any information on David S. Glass who was a "lawman" in
Cherokee County in the early days of the county's existence.  Here is what
I know:  David was born c. 1810 probably in Alabama; married 1833 in Hinds
County, Mississippi to Sarah (Sally) Tubb(s).  He is listed as a member of
the Lexington (MS) Mason Lodge 1839, 1840 and 1841. My great-grandfather
Henry Clay Glass was born in Cherokee County, Texas in 1845, so the
migration took place sometime between these dates.
David Glass is first listed as a member of Euclid Lodge 45, Rusk, Texas in
1848; he is not listed on the 1851 report.
The story that comes down to us is that David Glass was a "lawman" (not
sure what this means); there was an incident where someone was killed and a
mob was going to lynch David Glass.  The Masons helped him escape.  David
Glass "died of a fever on his way back from Canada".
In approx. 1854, Sallie Glass took her brood of children back to
Mississippi where her family had property.
I know there are a lot of Glasses still in Cherokee County.  None of David
Glass' children stayed when the family left; my suspicion is that when
David Glass first went to Cherokee County, he was accompanied by brothers
or cousins.  Because I have no birth record and no death record, we are at
a dead end.
I would like to contact anyone who has worked on the Glass family
geneaology in this county; I would also like to find out about the incident
that led to David Glass' hasty departure, and his subsequent death.  A
history of the early days of the county would help give me context -- if
one exists, is there a copy I could purchase?
I would appreciate any information you are able to provide. Thanks in
advance.

a Baptist pastor, had died in 1894 in Red River County TX, where he had
gone to help establish new churches.
Jordan and Emma married, and their children were born, in Mississippi.
After Jordan's death, Emma raised the children there, perhaps to be near
family. Then she and some of the children went to Texas.
What records are available that I can search to find Emma's cause of

land bounty on which the Coker Cem is located.  Joseph and his married
children, etc., joined John here in 1854.

The other brother, James, who lived near Joseph in Cherokee Co TX, stayed
in Cherokee Co with his family.  It appears that Joseph and James arrived
in Cherokee Co somewhere around 1846, there is no official record.

They all seem to have departed Laurens Co. SC around 1826 and went to TN.
They then went to Talladega AL about 1832 and then to Cherokee about 1846.

This land was 320 acres in Cherokee County and was ptd to Harvey Randolph,
asgn, on May 1851.  Pat 645 Vol 5 Abst 267 GLO File Nac Bty 277.

Most of the above means nothing to me, but hopefully someone in Cherokee

Edinburgh (my relative) or Harvey Randolph, to whom he assigned his land,
and if nothing else, what is currently located on the land specified above.

C.C. Edinburg (referred to as Christ Edenburg in Muster Roll for the Battle
of  San Jacinto, Second Regiment T. Volunteers under Col. Sherman's Command)
also received land in Walker County, and that is apparently where he resided.
He is buried near Falkey School, eighteen miles North of Huntsville, Texas.
His tomb states that he lived born 1790-1864.  His wife was named Lucinda, I
have no record of his immigration.  Five children listed in census records,
Elizabeth (1843), Sam H. (1847), Christopher C. (1850), Rufus (1854) and

Subject:         Elisha and Alanson Moseley

Four bothers emigrated from east Georgia into newly opened Henry County
Georgia in 1822. Benjamin and Silas remained in the County and put down
deep roots which exist to this day. (Silas is my ancestor). Elisha (wife
Susannah) was involved in the establishment of McDonough, the county seat. He left
the county and may have been in Montgomery County Alabama in 1830. He next
shows up Texas in 1845 and was instrumental in the establishment of Cherokee
County. His whereabouts between 1830 and 1845 are completely unknown to me.

Alanson (wife Sarah) remained in Henry County through 1840 but then in 1845
was involved in the establishment of Rusk.The Texas data on the two
brothers I have learned from your excellent lookup service but that is about all I
know about them except that there is a Moseley cemetary somewhere about 4 miles
south of Rusk and that a descendant of Alanson, Minton Moseley was the Rusk
town druggist for some years.

I am scheduled  to write an article on the four brothers for a forthcoming
book "First Families of Henry County" and wish to know more about the Texas
exploits of Elisha and Alanson Moseley so they can be included.

I would appreciate anyone with information on the two communicating with
me. I would particularly like to hear from descendents.

 I am looking for info on my g-grandfather, Richard Pair he married my G-
grandmother Duan Hines in 1876 in Larissa, Texas.  I know that they had a
farm in or around Jacksonville, Texas.  I know nothing else about him, other
than he had an accident and died at a fairly early age ( I only surmise this
because Duan remarried and had another child).  Any info would be greatly
appreciated, I know that Duan's family lived primarily in & around
Limestone County.

Thomas Benjamin Sanders was born Feb. 7, 1862 somewhere in Mississippi. His death certificate list his parents as Sim Sanders and Mary Ward. In 1883 and 1888 he was a member of Pierce's Chapel Methodist Church in Jacksonville, Texas. January 1, 1891 he married a M. Jane Batton in Cherokee County. Children from the marriage were Luther L.. ( who married Myrtie Morris), James Emmit, William, Henry Paul ( my grandfather), Etta Elizabeth, Mitty, Charles Audie, and Mattie.
  Thomas died Feb. 12, 1934. The paper list suvivors as four sons, J.E., H.P., W.M., and A.C. all of Ironton; two daughters, Mrs M.A. Bradley and Mrs M.J. Morris, both of New Hope; one brother, Charlie Sanders of Mississippi; three sisters, Mrs E.M. Dunn of Louisiana, Mrs Nealie Herring of Hazel Hunt,Mississippi, and Sallie Littleton of Columbus, Mississippi.

I know very little about Jane Batton except that it shows her on the 1910 Census with Tom and seven children. She isn't on the 1920 Census but  Tom is with six children. On November 4, 1917 ( Luther was killed) and there's an article in a Cherokee, County book saying he was the son of Tom Sanders, and his father, mother, four brothers and two sisters survive. He was buried at Earle's Chapel. ( I found out all this information when I took a two day trip to Jacksonville last year.)
    So, I would really love to find out what happened to Jane and find someone in Jacksonville to communicate with that knows more on the surviving Sanders and Batton lines and past lives. I've reached a stonewall looking for Jane.
     Thanks for listening and replying, and if you can help or know anyone that can, please let  me know...

Jane must have died between 1910 and 1917...

Thanks so much for the reply.  I am researching Frank Buckelew.  He was born in 1852 in Union Parish La. He was the youngest of nine children. His mother "unknown" died in Cherokee Co. in 1856.  His father remarried there and died shortly after.  I a trying to find out the name of the first and second wives of Robert Buckelew.  The earlier records in Bandera Co. spell the name Buckalew. After Franks parents died, he and his sisters Mary and Martha didn't get along with
the stepmother and went to live with their uncle in Bandera Co. The oldest sister Mary was married to T.M. Hill in Cherokee Co. in 1855.  I think she was a widow shortly after.  From what I have found out, Frank was much younger than the other children.

Mrs. N. J. DOBBS Tyler Texas.

Also have a very old hand written list of the family birth dates etc.  It is on stationery with the heading "FURNITURE OF CHARACTER at reasonable prices DOBBS FURNITURE CO.

her daughters.

I just basically want to know where Larrisa College was i know it was in Canton, bit I don't know where Canton is or was either.

This is where Harvey Clay graduated and taught.

 MEDFORD, HARVEY C. (1831-1902). Harvey C. Medford, Confederate soldier and diarist, was born in Marion County, Alabama, on January 11, 1831, the son of Zack H. Medford. In early childhood he accompanied his parents to Itawamba County, Mississippi, and in 1852 moved with his father to Angelina County, Texas. On March 2, 1859, he graduated from Larissa College in Cherokee County. >From 1860 until 1862 he taught school in the Van Zandt County community of
Canton .

I have the first eleven generations of my Dickey genealogy report online and I am working deligently to get generation twelve up.  MAN! it that one BIG!. It well take several page to put up. These
are all descendants of  Robert Dickey born 1453 in Glasgow, Scotland. (None of this research was
done by the Anjou person that reportedly did some Fraudulent research for several surnames. The older generations were mostly done by my cousin who was librarian for the Library of Congress for about 20 years. The later generations are the collective works of several Dickey descendants
including myself.)

My branch of this family became pioneers of Houston, Anderson, Cherokee, and Smith Counties, in East Texas.

I will post some associted surnames as soon as I get the 12th generation completed. In the meantime, if you have any of these surnames, stop by for a visit at:

Franklin Holbert and his family were a part of the 1870 census taken in Cherokee County.

Currently, I'm trying to piece together whether or not Franklin Holbert and his family are in any way related to Ben Holbert.

Ben Holbert died in Kilgore, TX in 1940? His death certificate is located in the Longview or Gregg County Clerk's Office.  His papers was filed by my Grandmother Annie Ruth Holbert from Kilgore, TX.  Both Annie Ruth and Ben Holbert's death certificate are located at the County Clerk's Office.

Ben and Annie Ruth are both buried at Mt Hope Baptist Church cemetery in Kilgore.  At their times of death, Jones Funeral Home handled the arrangements for burial.  However, Jones Funeral Home has gone out of business.   I need your help in resolving who exactly is Ben Holbert's father and mother? Ben was born Nov 2, 1896 in Jacksonville, TX, but by whom? His brother's name is Melvin, and his sister's name was Stella.

How can I find out about other Holbert family's in the North Eastern Counties of Texas? I've yet to find any other Black Holbert family's from Texas. I'm wondering if they migrated west or died off?

I'd appreciate all the help that you can help me with.

The Holly Springs cemetery and Holly Springs Church, are there any type of  records for the both of them?

Subject:  BROWN

Henry BROWN (father) and Wiley BROWN (son) are in adjacent households [042 & 043] on page 290 of the 1850 Census for Simpson County.  Henry was born 1785/86 in NC.  His household included his wife Susannah STATHAM-BRUNFIELD-GARRAWAY, whom he married
in Rankin County on 9/25/1848].  Susannah STATHAM was born in 1794/95 and married:  1) Ridley BRUNFIELD in LA, & 2) Robert GARRAWAY in Rankin County, before marrying Henry BROWN.  Henry died about 1858 and in 1860 Susannah was listed as Susan BROWN in the
household [p. 951, HH 630] of her daughter and son-in-law, John T. COLEMAN, on p. 951, Household # 630 of the Rankin County census. Henry's household also included Elizabeth FINDLEY, age 15.  Prior to Susannah, Henry was married to Phrenetta [Surname Unknown] and they had two known children:  Wiley on 2/13/1818 and John on 12/23/1829.

In 1850 Wiley BROWN’s household in Simpson County included:  his wife Louissa DUKES;  a 6 month old son, George I.(?); and Jepetha FINDLEY, a 20 year old laborer whom I believe to be the husband of the Elizabeth FINDLEY who was listed in Henry BROWN’s household.  The MS Mortality Schedule shows Louissa, died in childbirth July, 1859 in Simpson County, MS.  On page 201 Household 422 of the 1860 Simpson County, MS, census, Wiley’s household included:  His wife, Mary A. [Ann][PUCKETT];  George I.(?);  Sarah A. [Ann];  and Sarah J. [Jean] DUKES.  I have been unable to find any record of the marriage of Wiley and Mary Ann.  I have not located Wiley in 1870; however, in 1880, Wiley and his family were in Cherokee County, TX (p. 447) and his household included:  his wife Mary A.;  Sarah A.; Ransom Green, age 12, who was born in MS;  and Rufus Puckett, age 7, who was born in TX.

I have not located John BROWN in 1850; however, in 1860 he is listed on page 107, household 678, of the census for Rankin County, MS, with his wife Cemantha [Samantha - surname unknown] and the following children: Jessilda, F, 6;  Henry, M, 4;  Robert, M, 2; and J. A., 4/12.  Later, John and Samantha had additional children:  Zora Bobel, Christopher C., and Emelie Samantha.  John
married a 2nd time to Margaret E. TARVER on 7/28/1865 in Angelina County, TX.  They had the following children:  Ader S., Shockley, Mary, John P., Laura V., and Lenora Elizabeth.  The first
three were born in Tyler County, TX and the others were born in Cherokee County, TX.

I would like to hear from anyone who has knowledge of this family since there are big voids in my knowledge.  Thanks,

Subject:           History of George Whitfield Terrell Family

My name is Tammy Usrey and I am beginning to research my family and my husbands.  He is a descendent of George Whitfield Terrell.  I have located numerous books and found much information regarding this family.  In my research I located an article in the Cherokee County History book for which I am very thankful. The article refers to my husbands great aunt Mary Terrell Brill's research on the family.  I have plans to visit the area soon and was curious if  any of her research was documented or published and might be in your records.

I would like to visit your facility but do not know the address.  If you should be familiar with this family and have any information please let me know.

Thank you for all your help.

Subject:              John Rosser

I am posting my information on my family as I have found a little more information on them.  John Ross appears on the 1850 and 1860 census of  Cherokee County.  When he left Ga. his name was Rosser.  He was the son of David and Sarah Vinson Rosser.  His wife was Morning or Rebecca
Winters.  He spent some time in Ala.  He is not on a census there but his first four children were born there and so was his wife.  I still do not have information on her parents. I am trying to find out what happened to these people after 1860, they are no longer on the census in Cherokee County and in 1870 there first child shows up in Livingston Parish, La. with another couple.  She was
about ten years old.  Then in 1880 my ggrandmother Sarah Ross is on the census with my ggrandfather also in Livingston Parish, La. with a child 7 years old, which tells you she has been in La. for a while.   I have found 12 children for John and Morning Winters Rosser but only have
information on four of them as they came to La. I am looking for information on them as to where
did they go?  Did they die?  Are they buried in Cherokee County.  One of the children's death
certificate's says she was born in Jacksonville, Texas. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Is anyone on the list researching the SUMMERS family in Cherokee Co. TX?  I need some help.  My4th great-grandmother was a SUMMERS before she married.  I know very little at all about her
family.  I do know that some of her SUMMERS relatives also moved to Cherokee Co.  I am in hopes someone on the lists knows more about this family and can help me.  Here is the little info I have:

Celia (or Sela/Sheila) SUMMERS  was born on 27 December 1800 in NC.  She died after 1880 in TX as I found her listed as a widow on the 1880 Cherokee Co. TX census.  In about 1822, she had
married Charles Finley (or Fendley) LOWE, Jr. who was born on 29 November 1798 in VA.  He died in 1874 in Cherokee Co. TX.  They married in Tennessee, probably Rutherford Co. as thats where they lived after their marriage.

Celia (Sela/Sheila) was the daughter of a William SUMMERS and his wife, Ellender or Eleanor. On the LDS Ancestral File I found some information that indicated there was at least one other
daughter and her name was Rebecca, born abt 1814.

Thanks to some info sent to me earlier today by another list member, I see that on the 1870 Cherokee Co. census, three persons named SUMMERS were living in the household with Charles Finley LOWE and his wife, Celia (listed as Sealy on that census).  A Melton SUMMERS, age 30,
white, male, a farmer born in TN;  Eliza SUMMERS, a 29 year old female, white, housekeeper born in Alabama; and Rufus SUMMERS, a 27 year old farm worker, white, male, born in TN.

Can anyone help me with this family?  I don't have much info to go on so I really need some help.  Thank you.

Subject:         Cherokee Co. TX Query for ROBERTS and         LOWE

ROBERTS, LOWE:
After reviewing the 1860 and 1870 Cherokee Co. TX census records, I believe I have found the elusive Nancy Picola LOWE, born 21 Dec 1829 in TN,  who married a ROBERTS (according to family info).  In 1860, the family I located lived among many LOWE family members and only one
house down from Nancy Picola's brother.  Again, on the 1870 census, Nancy (now the head of
household) is living among many LOWE relatives. Here is the info from the census:
1860 Cherokee Co. TX, page 433, family 300: William ROBERTS, age 36, farmer, born TN
wife, Nancy, age 30, born TN children:  J.H., age 9 male, born TN;  C.L., male, age 6, born TX; Mary H., age 4, female, born TX; Cansada C. (sp?), age 2 female, born TX; and a farmworker named James IVY, age 25, born in NC. The 1870 Cherokee Co. TX census, page 220, family
382 lists: Nancy ROBERTS, age 39, b:TN children: Isaac H., age 18, b: TN;  Charles L., age
17, born TX; Mary E., abe 14, b.TX; Cansada C. (sp?) age 13, b.: TX; William R.C., age 6, born TX; and John T., age 3, born in TX. Is this Nancy Picola LOWE?

Subject:     William and Nancy Picola (LOWE)              ROBERTS

Is the Nancy ROBERTS I have located on the 1860 and 1870 Cherokee Co. TX census records the same as my Nancy Picola LOWE (born 21 Dec 1829) who married a ROBERTS?  I think so, but does anyone have further info? According to the census (if this is the right family),  Nancy was married to a William ROBERTS, born abt 1824 in TN.  William is on the 1860 but not 1870
census.  In 1870, Nancy is listed as head of household.  Children listed were:
1,  Isaac H., born abt 1852 in TN
2.  Charles L., born abt 1853 in TX
3.  Mary E. or H., born abt 1856 in TX
4.  Cansada C. (not sure if I read that correctly off the census----very difficult to make out the letters), female, born abt 1857 in TX
5.  William R.C., born abt 1864 in TX
6.  John T., born abt 1867 in TX.

This family lived right in among all her LOWE, NEWMAN,  and other relatives so it appears to be the correct family.  If you have info to rule this out or confirm it, please notify me.

Subject:               Dixon and Alexander family

My grandparents, Alonzo Kent Dixon and Sophronia Alexander both went to Old Larissa College. As a  child, I used to go to the wonderful outdoor reunions with long tables of indescribably good
food. Once, I even had to "recite" a poem my grandfather had written -- "I wonder, ah, I
wonder."  I know that A. K.Dixon taught at Larissa and had come from Tennessee with his mother,
but do not know the date. My grandmother and he eloped from the college,had four sons, Uhlan,
Kenneth, Ford, and Frank (died when he was a law student at U. of Texas in 1924 or 1925), and a
daughter, Bess Marie, my mother.

A.K. was a traveling man for Armour for a while, going into Mexico to manage getting bat guano
for fertilizer, was a specialist in growing tomatoes, and had something to do with the newspaper the "Jacksonville Progress."  He was a Democrat.

Sophia and he were both Presbyterians, I believe. She taught "expression," was quite active in
church, and the house she and A.K. lived in on Crepe Myrtle Drive belonged to her father who
was 18 during the Civil War and led a mule train of supplies somewhere in Texas to Confederate
soldiers. I only know him from a picture of him in a wheelchair.  She had three brothers two of
whom, I believe, lived in Jacksonville--I remember them as Uncle Mel, Uncle Sank, and there was
an Uncle Robert who lived in a nearby town.

The house is on a hill from which one can see in the far distance some railroad tracks (I remember listening to the old hooting whistle when I was a child).Down the road was the box factory where baskets were made for tomatoes to be shipped out. People named the Tiptons lived on one side, the Godsey and the Pearmans down the hill across the road. The house is now occupied by Leota Pearman Dixon, Kenneth Dixon's wife, and their son, also Kenneth, and their family.  When I was a child, Ford, his wife Kathleen Trammell, and two children, Gene and Dorothy Lynn, my cousins, lived there  with my grandparents.

I would like to know more about what my grandfather taught at Larissa and what part of
Tennessee he came from.

Subject:    RUTHERFORD

This will take som explaining, so I hope no one gets confused.
ROBERT D. RUTHERFORD was born in 1811, KY-possibly Floyd County, or perhaps even TN. He was an early pioneer to TX as he receieved land in the Austin Colony issued Oct.30, 1839. He came from Hinds Co., MS where he appears on the Census there in 1830. He is listed in the Deed Abstracts of 1837-1852 with 640 acres dated Mar.31, 1840. While he does not appear on the 1840 Census, this is probably due to a separation from his wife Harriet. Harriet E. Simpson, daughter of James A. Simpson, was born in AL, but married Robert in Hinds Co., MS. While it is plausible they had other children, their most noted was Christopher Columbus Rutherford born in Bastrop County in 1839. He became an early pioneer doctor.

Anyway! Robert and Harriet split. she sold off his land to pay for her son's schooling at Tulane in LA. They were divorced in 1846, as she appears as herself with her maiden name (she died in 1858, Robertson Co.) and he appears then in 1850 Census in Cherokee Co. with his second wife Martha ___, born 1812, KY. They had two daughters listed there, and judging by the birthdates, he must've married her right after or before his divorce. I surmise he and Martha were married in Nacogdoches County. I think Robert ends up in Travis County in 1860, but wasn't able to find out at the moment.

Has anyone run across this family in Cherokee County. His daughters are Mary A. E. Rutherford and Rebecca Rutherford. I have found other Rutherfords there in Cherokee County but don't know their relationship, if any. This information has been a long time in pieceing together, yet I have not found any Rutherford descendants to correspond with.
