Desperate & Deadlocked in My Search

nscogin — 17 Feb 2002 9:22:28 GMT

Looking to share and exchange any information/photos conerning ancestry of De Witt County --- Robert Day, wife Susan Cochran (Cockrum?), children John, Will, & Elizabeth Jane Day --- John W. Day, wife Frances A. Lowe, 10 children --- Jack Hays Day, wife Lue Renia Bell, 8 children --- Pitkin Barnes Taylor, wife Susan Cochran (Cockrum?) Day, children Amanda Jane & James 'Jim' Creed Taylor --- Will Morrow, wife Stella, children Esker, Josephine, Terry, and maybe more Morrow children --- William J. Scogin, wife Lue Ida Riley Flowers, 11 children.

Day's & Taylor's married into the Robert Burns Kelley (Kelly) & Delilah Oldham family. Day's married into the Will Morrow family. Day's originated in Georgia, Scogin family from Alabama or Florida.

My father-in-law is the Great-Great Grandson of Susan Cochran Day Taylor and also Grandson of William John Scogin, all former De Witt County residents. He is quite elderly so my timeline is rapidly diminishing to complete my research for his review and any additions he may have to offer.

Thank you for any response to this query,

Karl family in DeWitt Co.

Derek Karl — 23 May 2001 12:00:00 GMT

Looking for information on Karl family in DeWitt Co. My Great-Great Grandfather was Joseph (Joe) Karl. It is thought he came to Texas from Germany at an early age. He lived in DeWitt Co. in the 1880's. Known relatives from DeWitt Co. include a distant cousin,Clyde Karl, possibly born in the 1930's or 1940's. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Byrne Co. Donegal, Ireland to Cuero, TX

mickmaloney_1 — 7 Sep 2008 7:29:59 GMT

I am looking for information on three Byrne brothers that immigrated from the townland of Malinbeg in the Parish of Glencolumbkille in southwest Donegal to Cuero, TX in the early 1890s.

The 1900 Cuero census shows Mike Byrne living with his brother, Barnie (Barney) Byrne. Barnie was married to a Frances and died before 1910. Frances is listed as a widow in the 1910 census with one child, Barney at age 9.

Based upon the 1910, 1920 and 1930 Cuero census, Mike married a Louisa and had one child, Mike Jr. It appears that Louisa died 19 Nov 1959 in De Witt Co. I have been unable to find when Mike Sr. died and find a record of his death certificate. I would like to see if his parents are listed on the death certificate.

In 1910, a niece and nephew of Mike Byrne, Ellen and Michael McGinley passed through Ellis Island with their final destination listed as uncle Michael Byrne in Cuero. Ellen and Michael McGinley were listed as being from Malinbeg, Glencolumbkille, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

Also in the 1900 Cuero census is the family of John J. Byrne and Annie (?). John is likely a brother of Barney and Mike. This family moved to Tarrant County.

All three individuals were in the grocery business.

Any information confirming the relationship of the three brothers and Mike Byrne’s death certificate would be appreciated.

Cemetery out by Concrete

Nanette Gaither — 9 Nov 2006 2:31:18 GMT

I am looking for the name of a cemetery where my g-grandparents, the KRUMMs are buried along with a few of their children. Its out on the main road going into Cuero from Shiner. You have to go through an old store to get into the cemetery grounds but the last time we were in that area (2002), we couldn't find the old store. We saw one old, boarded-up building that looked like it might have been an old store on that road before going into Cuero, but it didn't look like it had a cemetery behind the ruins of the building. My mom has been there so many times, but nothing looked the same to her when we went. We live in CA and that was the last time we were able to drive to TX (so far). Does anyone have any idea what the name of the small cemetery is that you had to go through a store to get to it?
Thanks.

Nan

FLICK and WASSERMAN families of DeWitt County, Texas

kflick17 — 28 Aug 2008 11:20:15 GMT

I am trying to find a FLICK family that married into a WASSERMAN family. Raymond C. FLICK, born 17 March, 1866, in DeWitt County, Texas, died 10 March, 1924, married Annie L. WASSERMAN, born October 28, 1867. Died June 12, 1939, daughter of Gustave WASSERMAN and Margaret ROSE, on 26 October, 1887 in DeWitt County, Texas. Annie WASSERMAN had siblings: Louisa (married August C. DIETZ), Katie (married Albert F. LIENHARDT), Emil (married Erixie or Rixerine MCRAE), Gustave Frederick (married Ida KUNITZ), and Georgina (married Festus W. ABEL).

I believe that Raymond C. FLICK was the son of Frederick and Mary Anna FLICK. Frederick FLICK and his brothers, Ferdinand and John, came to the U.S. in about 1846. They landed in New Orleans where Ferdinand remained. One of the brothers, Frederick, went to Texas and the other, John, died in New Orleans. I believe that Frederick FLICK of New Orleans is the same Frederick FLICK that went to DeWitt County, Texas. I found Frederick and Mary Anna FLICK on the 1880 federal census for DeWitt County, Texas with the following children:

Alvina Flick b. 1862 Texas
Caroline (Carrie) Flick b. 1864 Texas
Florence Flick b. 1868 Texas
Hubert Flick b. 1870 Texas
Bertha M. Flick b. 1873 Texas
Charles Flick b. 1876 Texas
Paulina Margaret Flick b. July 19, 1879 DeWitt County, Texas. Died Sept. 22, 1949. Married Cecil Ralph MATTHEWS on April 25, 1905 in DeWitt County, Texas, son of John Calhoun MATTHEWS and Ida Belle HAIR. Cecil was born Feb. 4, 1879 in Barnwell, South Carolina.
Lydia Flick b. 1880 DeWitt County, Texas. Died May 11, 1947 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. Married a Mr. GEORGE.

On the 1900 federal census for Cuero, DeWitt County, Texas, ED #26, dated June 20, 1900, I found:

Anna Flick b. Sept. 1843 Germany Widow Immigrated 1846
Carrie Flick b. January 1865
August Flick b. April 1871
Charles Flick b. August 1875
Pauline Flick b. July 1877
Lydia Flick b. October 1879
Joseph Flick b. June 1883

If anyone knows anything about this FLICK family and a possible connection with the aforementioned Flick's of New Orleans, Louisiana, please contact me. There also is a connection between the John FLICK mentioned above and the WAX and HARTEGEN families of New Orleans. John FLICK died at the age of 44 and his obituary, dated April 26, 1889, states that he was a resident of New Orleans for 42 of those 44 years.

I am looking for any info on Lena Marie Waskow Cooper that I can find. I have her from her marriage to Herbert Cooper in 1915 in Chicago thru the 1930 census. Although she states in the census she is born Texas and so are both parents, I can find nothing on her before her marriage, nor can I find a divorce (Herbert Cooper remarried in 1926 in Australia) or a death for her.

Since I do not find many WASKOWs and most are in DeWitt County, I am hoping that she fits into someone's tree from this county.

Sarah Jane Wilkins m. (1) James Brown; M. (2) Robert Fryar; m. (3) John Green Kelly

family_history_research — 22 Jan 2007 10:03:26 GMT

I am seeking information on Sarah Jane Wilkins b. 1868 Jackson Co., Texas; d. November 13, 1945 Mill Co., Texas
married (1) James Brown **I have no information other than his name.** They had 1 child-Carrie Luecrecia Brown b. August 15, 1889 Sweethorne, Texas (this is from Granie's Bible); d. September 06, 1969 Austin, Travis Co., Texas

Sarah m. (2)Robert Fryer (spelling variations Fryar, Friar)1900 Cuero, DeWitt Co., Texas. Robert was b. 1871 Leon Co., Texas d. abt 1909 San Saba, Texas. They had 1 child - George Fryer-lived in San Antonio, Bexar Co., Texas at the time of her death. (Family legend says that his name was Jack-the obituary says George.)

Sarah m. (3)John Green Kelly marriage date unknown. John was b. 1858 in possibly Montgomery or Frio Co., Texas, d. abt 1938 Texas.
They had 1 child - Charlie Kelly-lived in Los Angeles, California at the time of her death. I have no further information on him.

The only other information I have for Sarah Jane Wilkins is that she has a niece named Susie Wilkins who lived in
Morse, Okfuskee Co., Ok.; Star Route in care of J. J. Whitson in 1918. I have a copy of letter that the niece wrote to Mr. J. (looks like S.) & S J Kelly when they lived in Beaukiss, Texas. (I think that is Bastrop Co., Texas.)

Sarah lived in Goldthwaite, Mills Co.,Texas at the time she passed away.

Her obituary mentions her granddaughter, Mrs. Hoyt Creely of McGregor, step children-Alozo Kelly of Goldthwaite, Mills Co., Texas, Berry Kelly of San Saba Co., Texas, and Mrs. Posie Hagerton of Abilene, Taylor Co., Texas.

Any information/documentation, etc. on these people, parents, siblings, spouses, children would help tremendously.

Hi:

I cannot open the page for Smith on the DeWitt County GenWebSite.

I would like to know if anyone has any information on a Wister A. Smith who had a son named Henry.

I am researching my grandfather, Henry Smith. He named his first born child who was a boy in 1905, Wister A. Smith. I am curious as to whether this Henry, s/o this Wister A. Smith might be my grandfather and ggrandfather.

Is there anyone who has connections in DeWitt County or knows of this Smith family who could assist me in my research?

I will be very grateful for any assistance proffered.

I am researching the family of Caroline C. WOODS married Andy BROWN in DeWitt County Texas 7.26.1857. Caroline was born 9.13.1839 (do not know where) died 11.23.1904 in Burnet Co Texas. Her obituary in the Burnet Bulletin stated she came from DeWitt County. I'm guessing around 1875 or a little thereafter. I do not know who her parents are and would appreciate any info you may have. Thank You!!

Cemeteries -- Confused

Mary Cole — 6 Jan 2006 4:52:38 GMT

Am confused about Concrete Cemetery and San Pedro Cemetery. Are they the same? If not, where is Concrete Cemetery? I've been to San Padro. Also, need directions to San Isidro Cemetery near Arneckeville? Death certificate shows family members buried there but stopped in Cuero and asked and no one could tell me where San Isidro is.

Looing for DeWitt County History book entry (BAROS)

Richard — 29 Mar 2006 7:29:01 GMT

Currently, I am looking for a copy of the DeWitt County History book entry regarding the Baros family. It tells of a Michael Baros who came to Dewitt in 1870 from Czechoslavakia. He and his wife Ann and 8 children immigrated, landing in New Orleans. It was sent in by Adolph Baros.

If you have this, I would very much like to obtain a copy from you, if at all possible.

I have a paternal Great Grandmother of Moravian heritage who was reportedly a BAROZ (most likely a misspelling of Baros) who was born in Yoakum, DeWitt County, 15 Aug 1878. From what I can piece together, her maiden name was Mary Edvicka Baroz/Baros/etc. (Her 19 year old son was the informant for her death certificate, and I imagine he did it from memory. With the proper hacek over the "Z", it would have been pronounced similarly to Barosh--as would Baros--and therefore could be any of a number of spelling variations. He put BAROZ on her death certificate, but there seem to be no BAROZ's. Conversely, from the little town of Yoakum--which narrows it down quite a bit by itself--there are many Baros' and Beros' from Moravia. With a comparatively generic name like "Mary", her original first name could also be a list of variations.) Mary Baroz/
Baros/Beros/etc married my Great Grandfather Frantisek (Frank) Bacak in about 1903 and had 5 children.

I cannot for the life of me (so far) determine who her parents were, so any information related to the surname would be helpful. So far, I am leaning toward Vincent Baros as her potential father, who had a wife and two daughters named "Mary", but I cannot obtain any confirmation that she is one of them thus far. A volunteer from the library in Yoakum is going to do some research on it, but she is alone and bogged down and in poor health, so (though very thankful for any assistance) I have no idea when she might be able to get to it. Therefore, I am still doing "wide aperture" research of my own as well.
Many thanks,

Richard Martin

Seeking information regarding John Marion Custer. He was an Old Time Trail Driver of Texas and he rode the trails for at least 12 years. He also went under the alias of Bill Wilson for a few years after getting into trouble. I also have a small picture of him working on the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio.

I believe he lived out his elderly years in or around Gonzales. I would like to also know where he is buried.

FYI: John Custer was born in Marion Co. Alabama in about 1865. His parents are buried in LIve Oak Co. Tx.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hulan Reserve Company muster of 1861

ggohlkedunn — 10 Jun 2003 9:40:12 GMT

I read in the book,"Yorktown,Texas its History 1848-1989", that a group of citizens of Yorktown,DeWitt County,Texas, organized the Hulan Reserve Company with a muster of 60 officers and men on June 10,1861. The orderly Sergeant was listed as Chas.Karnei. Who was he and where did he and his family come from? I asked my father about him, but he couldn't figure out who he was and which Karneis he was related to. Also the 3rd Lieutenant was listed as C. Gohlke. Does anyone know who he was? Also W. Gohlke. I wish that they listed their entire name, then maybe I could get a clearer picture of who they were. I also would like to have a history of this group, did they fight in any battles, and if they did, what casulties resulted from this group?

I would also like to buy a copy of this book, and would have never known about this book if I hadn't been doing research at the main library in SA,Texas. I happened to be standing right by the shelf where it was just sitting there at the end of it. I would have never known that it even existed.

I am also doing research on the Gohlke and Karnei surnames and am trying to collect as much information possible about all the Gohlkes all over the USA and in Germany. It seems that they all came from very near each other originally and might be related, but we will never know unless we do this research.

PARK, WHITE, EVETTS, DONOHO Families

Pat Evetts — 20 Aug 2002 8:01:51 GMT

Hello,

I am doing research on my husband's grandfather (Moses Aaron Evetts b. 1865 d. 1950). He was the son of William Evetts (b. TN 1823 d.?) and Keziah (AKA "Kizzy" or "Kacy") Donaho Evetts (b. TX 1834 d.?) . Keziah was the daughter of William "Chief" Donaho (b. by 1800 in SC d.?) and Jane Addison (b. @ 1798 d.?).

Keziah was "apparently" widowed, and remarried to a John White in DeWitt Cnty on 9 July 1873. This union produced a son, Joseph White (b. 1877)

Also Keziah's daughter, Martha J. Evetts, married William J. Park on 27 Jan 1872.

I have had problems locating this family after the 1880 census. It has been particularly difficult as I don't know in which town they lived in DeWitt County, so searching cemetery records is difficult. If you have any information on ANY OF these individuals or any of these family "lines" could you please provide to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You,

Lewis Wofford

txkirsty1 — 1 Oct 2006 4:27:34 GMT

I am looking for more info about Lewis Wofford, born about 1857-8, I believe in DeWitt County, to Daniel Webster Wofford and Nancy (Cooper) Wofford.
On the 1860 DeWitt census, he is listed in their household as 2 year old, along with the other children: Mary, Jane, Webb, John, and Susan. Problem is, he isn't listed on the 1870 census or 1880 census with them. The other children are though, except Susan, who may have died, I don't know. Then in the 1870 and 1880 censuses there are additional later children as well. So I am not sure which censuses are correct but this does seem to be the same family. Lewis went on to marry Mattie L. Clark, presumably in DeWitt County but I don't know for sure. If anyone has any info and can verify that Lewis is the son of Daniel & Nancy or just any info at all I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

Marriages in Dewitt Co. 1870-1880

Toni M. Callaway — 2 Aug 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I have been trying to trace my family tree using the U. S. census records for Texas. I first found my ggrandfather in Mills Co. in 1910. I then found my gggrandfather in Llano Co. in 1900. I then saw him in the 1870 census at age 17, one of 5 brothers, living with a family of Woods and Word surnames. I found my gggrandfather again in the 1880 census of Dewitt Co., still living in close proximity to 4 of his brothers, Henry Woods and Emily Callaway/Word/Woods. My gggrandfather, Samuel Callaway was married to a 21 year old named Ardelia. Looking back to the 1870 census for 11 yr. old Ardelia's in close proximity and found a Ardelia Glimp and assumed that Samuel's Ardelia was a Glimp, based of names, ages, children's names ,proximity, etc. Since that time I have incountered family trees put out by Family Tree maker and the LDS which have my samuel and Ardelia married to other people but these other people don't have nearly as many matching dates and locations. I need marriage information on Samuel Calaway/Calloway and Ardelia age ~17 yrs. somewhere around 1875-76. In the 1880 census their oldest child, Milton is 3 yrs. old. and they also have a baby girl, Nicholena. Does Dewitt Co. have marriage and birth records for this time frame?

Chester B. Caswell, b 1838 NY, m Mary Lois Ryan b 1841 FL.

Mary Lois was the daughter of Joseph D. Ryan b 1801 and Penelope Toms (Tom) b 1811. The RYAN family lived in Goliad County.

Chester and Mary Lois started out in DeWitt County, moved to Corpus Christi by the 1870 census, and were back in Clinton, DeWitt by the 1880 census. The family moved to Mills County and then on to Bell County.

I do not have a marriage year, but the first child I show b 1868.

Chester was b NY, moved with parents to IL, and came to TX after the 1860 census. Occupations varied from butcher to photographer, and painter.
Children were born between 1868 and 1882.
