Union Cemetery near Justin, Texas

Grang|MA394264 — 27 Nov 2008 4:14:03 GMT

I have a death certificate for James B. McWhorter on Jan 1929 in Justin, Texas and it states that the person was buried at Union Cemetery. The undertaker was from Justin, Texas so I assume that the burial was close by there. Can anyone give the location of this cemetery as I can't seem to find it listed anywhere in Denton County.

GRESHAM & GLAZE surnames, moved from GA to TX around 1890

mdbosco — 26 Oct 2008 9:41:00 GMT

Hello

I am seeking info on my g-grandmother, Susan Glaze (b.1863 - d.1895-1900) oldest child (of 12) of Houston Glaze (1828-1898) & Mary Jane Parks Glaze (1843-1921), of Lincoln County, GA.

Susan married John Kauffman Gresham, of Wilkes County, GA., somewhere around 1880-1881, and had 3 sons (George Houston, Fred Parks, & Otis Quinn

I would also like to get parents/grandparents confirmed (with dates) for John Kauffman Gresham.

The info I have on John K. Gresham (1854-1907) is even more brief. Possible parents: George Gresham & Nancy S. Gresham. If those are the correct parents, then he had 5 brothers (Rufus, William, Edward, Benjamin, & George) and one sister (Lucy Ann).

I know John moved Susan & their sons to Texas (either Collin County or Denton County) in the late 1880s or early 1890s, but by the 1900 Census the sons had been sent back to Lincoln County, GA to live with relatives (but no mention of Susan) while John remained in TX and worked as a laborer, living as a boarder. He is classified as "single" on the 1900 Census.

I have been unable to locate any 1890 Census records -- wasn't there one done that year?

Do I have any Gresham relatives in the Collin or Denton County areas?

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

James Coulter Kirkpatrick and family - 1870s Denton County, Texas

coulterkirkpatrick — 18 Oct 2008 3:10:06 GMT

I'm trying to find sources, genealogy, family info, mention, etc. of Kirkpatricks in Denton County in the 1870s, specifically James Coulter Kirkpatrick (born around 1833 in Penn.) married to Easter (or Esther) Rose Kirkpatrick (born May 1848 in Tenn.). Their children were John J. Kirkpatrick (b. 1872 in Texas), Mary J. Kirkpatrick (b. 1873 in Texas) and William Alman Kirkpatrick (b. 1875 in Denton Co., Texas). I suspect that James Coulter Kirkpatrick died around 1875-76, because Easter moved to Joplin, Missouri, with the kids and married Henry McKee in 1877. I see from other posts that there was a Coulter family in Denton Co. in the late 1800's and wonder if there's a connection? Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Daniel Marion Nix in Denton County

DLunow — 30 Sep 2008 8:06:18 GMT

I am trying to solve a problem with Daniel Marion Nix.

Daniel's death certificate says he was buried in Hilltop Memorial Park in Carrollton, Dallas County, Texas.
(he is NOT listed on Find a grave in that cemetery)
I called the cemetery and their records only go back to the 1980's

On findagrave, there is a listing for a Daniel Marion Nix Furneaux Cemetery, Precinct #2, Denton County, Texas.
I called them and their records only go back to the 1980's also.

The Daniel Marion Nix listed in Furneaux Cemetery shares a stone with "Bonnie" and the Daniel Marion Nix I am looking for was married to Connie.

My question: is there someone that will go look at Furneaux Cemetery and give me dates for Bonnie? It may be a misspelling of her name. OR the wrong person, Or ???

Any ideas will help! many heads are always better then mine.
Thank you in avance,

Cemetery lookup for Elias and Cynthia Fish

Death Lookups

wendmeb — 1 Jun 2008 5:43:48 GMT

I have been trying to locate the burial place of my gg gparents in Denton County, and also a gg uncle. How far back do the Denton County death records go?

My gg gparents are Joseph F. (or H.) HOFFMAN b. abt. 1812 TN, and Sarah M. HOFFMAN b. abt. 1814 TN. They came to Texas in the early to mid 1850's, and were listed on the 1870 Denton County census, and that was the last time I found them, so assume they both died before 1880.

The gg uncle was George T. REED, b.1833 AL, d. 1880 Denton County TX, and presumably was buried at Lewisville (unknown source for the city).

If anyone out there has access to this information, I will be forever grateful to receive it as this has been a search going on for years.

Thank you so much for your time.

Nancy C. [WHITLOCK] and Thomas C. NUNLEE in 1880, 1900 ???

Kathye_Upham — 15 Apr 2008 12:32:51 GMT

Please share any information you can ?????????

Nancy [WHITLOCK] married Thomas NUNLEY 23 Jun 1872 in Colbert Co, Alabama. Nancy was the daughter of Hezekiah WHITLOCK and Matilda [GOFF] of Franklin and Colbert counties, AL.

Thomas signed his name "NUNLEE" on his CSA papers and his sons by his 1st marriage to Charlotte [PAINE] used that spelling also.

My cousin Jane thinks Thomas and Nancy could be her Great- grandparents: she has spent years and years trying to find either or both of them on the 1880 and 1900 census but has found no trace of either of them.

Her Great-grandfather, Augustus Harrison NUNELEE was born 28 Apr 1876 in Alabama and she hasn't been able to find him on the 1880 or 1900 census either. Thus she has never been able to settle the issue.

In 1910 Gus was was a HH in Denton Co TX, single, and living with only his Step-mother Martha age 60 born TN/Tn/Tn: no information was given as to whether she had any children. So, if Thomas and Nancy are Gus' parents they were both deceased by 1910.

Gus died 25 May 1913 in Texas when his only child was barely 9 months old and just 2 1/2 years after he married Mary Melviney [HERRON]. The state of Texas has no record of his death but it is believed he died in either Denton County where his daughter was born or Delta county where he is buried.

If you know anything at all about what happened to Thomas or Nancy would you please email me at the addy below ???
My heartfelt thanks,

Mary Whetstone

DonnaAllen87 — 13 Apr 2008 10:28:37 GMT

I'm searching for the date of death for Mary Whetstone, w/o JSJ Whetstone, as well as where she is buried. I believe she may have died in Denton County sometime between 1870 and 1876. The last census she is found is the 1870 Denton Co. in the JSJ Whetstone household. In 1876, JSJ remarried.

I wish I had more information to give to help find her. I'm hoping she is listed in one of the cemetery books. I've searched the transcribed cemetery records, but not all cemeteries are available.

Thank you in advance for any help!

My grandfather was born in Denton TX 1/4/1920. His name is Robert Anthony Carroll. I don't know if he was actually born with the Carroll last name. His father - we don't know his name - may have taken his mother's maiden name of Carroll. Her name was Blanche Carroll. Any help finding this would be greatly appreciated.

His father's real name may have been something like Guildea or Guildy or O'Guildea, etc.

William Mack Daniel b 1864, d 1952, buried Sanger, Denton, Texas

wende127 — 13 Feb 2008 7:26:23 GMT

I'm confused & need help! Their are 2 William Mack Daniel's who died in Denton, Texas. My William Mack was born Jan 21, 1864 in Missouri or Arkansas, died Mar 12, 1952 in Corpus Christi, buried in Sanger Cemetery, Denton, Texas. When he died he was living with son, Walter Grady Daniel in Corpus Christi. His wife was Victoria Tennessee Hughes. Sons are: Connie Lawrence, Walter Grady, and James Wayne. Daughters are: Frankie Alwilie, Mary Lucy, Jewel Beatrice, and Nellie. Census records show him living in Denton county from at least 1910 til 1930. Haven't been able to find him in earlier census records yet.

Another William Mack Daniel died in Denton county Jan 28, 1924. Could this be my William's father? I believe this William was married to Jane Anderson with at least 2 children Nancy Virginia and James Marshall.

Anyone know who these 2 men were & how they might be connected? All info is greatly appreciated!!!

Samuel K. Smith and wife Catherine are found in the census for 1860 in Denton Co TX, 1870 Sebastian Co AR and 1880 back in Denton Co TX.

Samuel was born 1812/1815 in Kentucky and died after 1880 in TX.

Known kids were Columbus, William Lee, Sarah L, James, Lucinda, Joseph, Roland and Laudale??. William and Roland, I think, were in Medina Co TX in 1900.

I would very much like to find more information on Samuel’s siblings and parents. Where does Chilton Smith fit in? Or does he? I believe Rhoda Smith was his sister, but would like to find some proof.

Hope someone has some knowledge of this family and they will share with me.

LINDONBORN, John (Presidio Co deputy) wounded 1890

RonDeLord — 24 Nov 2007 4:56:24 GMT

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. Some months before January 1891, Mrs. Phillip LINDONBORN went to Marfa (Presidio County) to retrieve her son, John LINDONBORN, who was seriously wounded in the discharge of his duties as a deputy sheriff at the mines. He had been shot three times and his leg was amputated. His mother brought him back to Pilot Point (Denton Co). The Pilot Point Cemetery reports Phillip (May 19, 1836-Sep 5, 1896) and P.W. LINDONBORN (Aug 12, 1860-Sep 6, 1883) buried there. My question is whether John LINDONBORN aurvived his wounds?

Looking for info on Benjamin and Martha Davis in Texas & Louisiana - late 1800s

My great-grandmother was Jenette (Jenetta)(Nettie) Davis. She was one of what seems to have been many children of Benjamin and Martha Davis. I am seeking information about the family. Benjamin was from Louisiana, but Martha was from Texas. The family lived in Louisiana in 1880. My great-grandmother Nettie seems to have been a bit unconventional and is rumored to have worked in Buffalo Bill (Bill Cody)'s Wild West show. Nettie Davis is also rumored to have gotten pregnant with my grandfather, John (Johnnie), out of wedlock. She married an older man, Mr. Galdos from Spain and had another child. The Davis family was rumored to have a long-standing feud, Western style, with another Texas family. I am seeking any information.

Looking for family connections for reseach project. Please help.

dnngutierrez1 — 29 Oct 2007 8:55:49 GMT

Hi ,
I have found the surnames of Reynolds,my dad and Lockhart, my mom and her dad and of Cotton, my granny Lockhart and the surname of my dads mom too who was Carrie Gertrude Scott . I wonder if they were all there at the same time or if this is different ones????? Also just found the Wisdom name(married one a long time ago) Uncle Jake Lockhart married LaVerne Simpson, Aunt Maudie Lockhart married Frank Rhodes,so many surnames? Any information on any ot them?
I have e-mailed already about the Reynolds family, but I also saw Lockhart family here. I am from the Thomas Eugene Lockhart family His father was Samuel Luther Lockhart whose father was Joseph Warren Lockhart and so on. If any connections I would like to share information e-mails and even letters about my family histories. My grand mother was Minie or Minnie Eva Cotton, I found documents with both spellings. My granny Lockhart told me her dad was a buffalo hunter and I saw pictures of this and her mother was french. I don't have much more information. We use to spend every summer in Llano with them but I never wrote anything down, wish I had now. I am 57 and trying to do it now for my children,grand and ggkids.
My name is Donna Reynolds Gutierrez. I live in Nixon, Texas. My grandfather was P.G. (Pearl Grover) Reynolds who according to census records is or was the father of a son born in Denton County,Texas on April 25,1939 to a lady named Dorthy Ellers. That would make Albert Preston Reynolds my uncle. The last uncle was uncle Jack who passed away. He would come stay with us and it was so wonderful when he would visit as he would talk about the family and he looked so much like my dad it was almost like having dad back with us. My dad was Donald Cleston Reynolds who married Bertie Lockhart. all the elders have passed away and I now find myself as one of the elders. I am trying to preserve our family history in a book called" Legacy of Love". If you have any information or perhaps you even know Albert Preston Reynolds who would be around 69 if still living, I would be thankful for any information. I am having trouble with my grandmother Carrie Scott Reynolds maiden Name history, cannot find out who her ancestors are, she came from Arkansas, but do not know where. Anyway this is just a shot in the dark but maybe it could possibly shed some light on the subject. Donna Reynolds Gutierrez 649 Private Road 1131 Nixon,Texas 78140 phone 830 582 1973. Thank You and God Bless you.
