Designation "Number exists*, Death F" in Texas Birth Index

eGENEee — 2013-05-31 18:53:46Z

Many people have been confused by the designation "Number exists***, **Death F" in the Father's Name Field in the Texas Birth Index.

I emailed the Texas Department of State Health Services and according to them:

This designation is actually **DEATH FILE NUMBER EXISTS***, and it means that the baby was deceased. At the time that the birth certificate was data entered, the only way to make the notation in the electronic record that the baby was deceased was to enter this in the father’s name fields. The actual birth certificate will show the name of the father if that information was available, and the birth certificate will be stamped "DECEASED."

This format is outdated, however, and no longer used.

Note: Several people have pointed out to me that Texas has made mistakes with this designation, so use good judgment and further research when you see this designation in the Index.

This is a very old query but maybe you will see it. You said in your message you were looking for a Mangrum connection. The only Mangrum connection I am familiar with are my grandparents. Mary Francis White (daughter of Richard White, son of Joseph Arnold White, son of Sanders White) married my Willie Ray Mangrum of Dallas. They have been married 62 years but before them I do not believe their is a Mangrum connection to the Whites.

I don't know if you will see this as you posted about this in 1999. My name is Rebecca I also found the same Frank that you spoke of who married Susan or Susie, they had three children Lula, Hettie and Floyd. Floyd married Maggie Cooper and they became the parents to my father Sampson who later changed his last name to Chatman as he said the Chatham was the slave masters name. Please contact me if you receive this message. Thanks and hope that this can help!!!!

My wife's great grandfather was Jefferson Norris, who came to England from Galveston Texas withe the boxer Jack Johnson round about 1911/1912 (I think). He married an English woman and remained in this country, possibly working as a coal miner. His family believe he left a wife and children behind in Texas. We live in Manchester in North West England

Benjamin Franklin White. I am trying to find a death cert. for him. He was born dec 5 1873 and died apr 10 1917. I am also trying to find out more about his mother and father, Joseph F White born 1845 in Alabama and was still alive in 1912. He filed for a civil war pension between 1909 - 1912 in Leon or Henderson County, Texas. His mother is Martha Idella Venable. She born abt 1854 in Smith County, Tex and died before 1900. Any help with these families would be apprecaited.

Civil War book and Leon County

TrevorPWardlaw — 2013-02-21 14:19:58Z

Hello,

I am currently several chapters into writing a book about the 22nd Texas Infantry (aka Hubbard’s Regiment).

Since Leon County provided many of its soldiers, it is important to accurately document the families and the towns they called home.

I am looking for extra stories about the personal lives of soldiers, photos, etc …. If there is specific info you would like included, please let me know.

Any suggestions regarding contacts or information for research would be greatly appreciated. I intend on including A LOT of information about all its soldiers

Finally, if you are a direct descendant of a soldier in Hubbard’s Regiment, I will include your photo and info.

Of course, all submissions will be credited in the text of the book.

You may reach me at tpwardlaw@aol.com for additional information, text contributions, and photo contributions.

The book should be ready by the end of this year.

Thank you,
Trevor P. Wardlaw

Re: Tom Standmire

I ordered my last one about 8 months ago. I will check with them to make sure before I order another one. The cost is rather expensive these days, and my main reason for ordering one is for the parents names. This is only if every other source does not list the parents. I do thank you for the warning.

Re: Tom Standmire

Thanks for the info. What will they think of next. The last one I ordered not that long ago, was not blocked. They still contain more info than the parents that is very helpful, but if the parents names are blocked, I will not be ordering one again. Hopefully there can be some obits that can be found.

Re: Tom Standmire

thomasker2 — 2012-11-10 16:59:26Z

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

DO NOT order the SS-5 [application record] from the SSA.

SSA now BLACKS OUT the parents names hoping to stop ID-theft.

Re: Tom Standmire

Brightstarr10 — 2012-11-10 05:00:32Z

You will find the name Standmire in many different ways, and many times the census taker just wrote down what they thought they heard. Many people back then could not read or write, including census takers very well.
I did not find Rufus Standmore. You might send for Tom,s SS application. He would have had to give the info himself, so he should have known his parents names. I noticed he was 104 when he died. Maybe the person who filled out the death cert. just thought that was the parents names. It happens all the time.
I found the name as Standmore, Stanmore, Stanmire, and Standmoore. Good luck with the name.
If you know Tom,s siblings, they may have the parents listed on their death cert too.

Re: Walter Johnson & Sallie Jane Markham Johnson/Lee J. and Mary Etta Datray Johnson

HL2604 — 2012-10-26 03:27:57Z

Let's begin a conversation and perhaps others will recognize "clues" and respond? H. H. Johnson, where do you find him and what did the initials mean? Who was Lee James Johnson's first wife and where can he be found prior to 1910? Lee's birth possibly 12 Mar 1881 per WWI Draft Card in Limestone County. Sarah Jane Markham born about 1845 in Mississippi to Carroll Markham and Nancy J. Smith (prior marriage surname). The Markhams found Limestone County 1870, minus Sallie, but no Walter Johnson.

Walter Johnson & Sallie Jane Markham Johnson/Lee J. and Mary Etta Datray Johnson

KathrynHobdy3 — 2012-10-25 22:54:25Z

I am in search of information about Walter Johnson and Sarah Jane (Sallie) Markham in Madison County in approximately 1850-1900. They had two sons, Lee James Johnson (b.1876?) and H.H. Johnson(b.1870). Lee James Johnson married Mary Etta Datray Johnson (b.1876). Lee and Mary Etta Datray Johnson had three children, William Walter Johnson (b.1909), Lona Marie Johnson (b. 1907), and Linne (Lynn) Johnson (1911). These children also went by the last name of Datray for a period of time due to custody issues. William Walter Johnson (1909-1970) married Odie Lorene Watterson Johnson (1907-1987) and had two children, Morris Johnson (1932-1991) and William Carroll Johnson (1936-2000). William Carroll Johnson is my father. I am really searching for information on Walter (1850?)Johnson and Sarah Jane Markham Johnson (1850?). If anyone can help me out and point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you in advance for your time!!

Hi: I had to search through to find a way to reply to your email; the "button" wasn't working for some reason. I have just begun my search onmy amily so I don't really have any info for you just yet. Robert Glenn Sloan was my dad and I haven't gotten as far as William Herring. I'm sorry; hope to do so soon so stay in touch. Actually, I dno't know how your email showed up in my work email account so that may be the problem with replying. My home email is tonysbrown@charter.net.

I would also like some Haskins information. In the Brushy Book link in the other reply it refers to Dr. Taylor. That is my GG Grandfather.

There is a Homer Haskins buried in the Taylor Cemetery in Leon county, not far from Brushy Cemetery and I have unable to make a connection as to why 1 year old Homer was buried there. He is buried just a few plots down from Dr. Taylor.

Anything you can add would be appreciated.

Here is a link to a site with a lot of information on Wade Hampton Yarbrough and the family's history in the Brushy Community in Leon County. Mary Lane Haskins is my wife's great great grandmother. Samuel Yarbrough is her great grandfather.

I'd love to have whatever info you have on the Haskins side of the family

Sorry for the slow reply,but I have had e-mail problems for almost a month. I would be interested in the pictures you mentioned. Maybe you could help me ID some folks in a picture I have of the Beekers.

Hello Danny.

I saw your post about Joe Owens Beeker. Aunt Minnie was my Grandfather's sister. I am assuming your Mother was Hazel. If you are the Danny I am thinking of we have pictures of you when you were younger. Please email me if you get this message. texastrue2@hotmail.com

thank you very much for bringing all of that information to me!!! it felt good to have a second pair of eyes! i had seen the same census but never really paid attention because i was told that jacob's parents were peter and polly norris but i hadnt found any concrete info and what i did find didnt make sense!

Your analysis of Jefferson Norris "almost" qualified you to run with the "big dogs"!(lol) You should have researched in more detail. Rev. Jefferson "Norriss" (13 May 1874 - 13 Mar 1971) died in San Antonio. His father identified as Holbert Norris and mother was unknown to informant, Bertha Washington. Next step is to find others listing Holbert Norris as father. Logon https://familysearch.org/ Click highlighted "Death" then enter Texas in the "Death Place" box. Click highlighted "Parent" then enter Holbert Norris as the father. Click "Search" and that should retrieve Steward Norris (Mar 1869 - 24 Jan 1938) and Norris Simpson (1879 - 21 Apr 1934). Unsure about the latter? Now, we've got the names of three siblings (Steward, Jacob, and Jefferson). OBTW! Note the informant on Steward's certificate. Easy enough, 1870 Leon-Precinct 2-Image 45 and find Jacob with his namesake grandfather. Also note Jacob's birth. 1880 is a bit more difficult so I'll help! For whatever reason(s) his parents and siblings enumerated as surname "Bruno". They were still in Leon-Not Stated-087-Images 40 & 41. Regarding Jacob's marriage, look closely at his wife's name in 1900. That's "Arena" misinterpreted as "Anna". J. A. Norris wed Arrena Carrington, 16 Jan 1892, in Leon. Not certain "Carrington" was her maiden name? I'm not related!

chughes131 — 2012-05-14 07:16:08Z

im a descendant of jacob norris born march 1872. he lived in leon county (im pretty sure in the unincorporated town of flynn, tx) in 1892 he married an anna norris b. 1876 and then a second wife of irene b. 1875 (possibly irene collins or irene carrington. his children are as follows per the census:

ester (queen esther) b. 1897
sopha b. 1898
patti b. 1901
earnest b. 1903
low i b. 1908
louise b.1910 (my great grandmother)
lueazer b. 1911
boyd (doc) b. 1914

i am searching for information on jacob or either one of his two wives.

on one of the census he is listed as having a mother in law by the name of eliza collins but i think its irene however im not sure which wife she would have been the mother of.

looking on the census it also shows a jefferson norris in roughly the same vicinity and im thinking the two are related. in the census jefferson is married to a woman alice. their children are as follows:

johie b.1898
joseph b. 1900
viola b. 1901
mattie b. 1902
jeff b. 1905
lon b b. 1907
lienbertha b. 1908
lula b b. 1912

please help with whatever information you are able to provide.

thank you in advance!!!
