In 1870 their neighbors were William A J & his wife Martha.

Thomas J. Flake, b. MS, 13
Laura Flake, b. MS, 10
Robert J. Rogers, b. AL, 22, clerk store

Didn't find either family in the 1880 Census.

In 1910 Martha, Benjamin and John (her son) were living in King Co., TX.

I didn't find John Rogers death info in Ancestry or FamilySearch. However, you can contact the Motley County Clerk, www.co.motley.tx.us/default.aspx?Motley_County/ .

I looked through the indexed cemeteries that are online but didn't find him there either.

Cemeteries of Motley County Texas, www.cemeteries-of-tx.com/Wtx/Motley/ListMotley.html

Cemeteries of Motley County, www.hiddenancestors.com/txmotley/cemeteries.htm

He wasn't listed in findagrave.com either

After you find his death date, you might be able to get a copy of his obituary from the Motley County Library, Matador, TX. There doesn't appear to be genealogical society in this county. Successful Searching!

Re: Hoover / Hook family

Hi,

You always start with what you know and work backwards in time. I found a James B. Hoover, 1930, in Motley Co., TX but his wife was Edna.

1930 Motley Co., TX
James B. Hoover, b. TX, 43, general farmer

R. Eugene, b. TX, 6

Charles F. Booth, falaw, b. NE, 64
Rosa A. Booth, mother, b. MO, 63

James B. Hoover
Born: Tarrant? County, TX, 5 Feb 1887
Residence 1917: Northfield, Motley, TX
Occupation: Self-employed farmer, Northfield
Marital Status: Single
He claimed an exemption from World War I because of his support to his mother and child.
Source: World War I Draft Registration Cards 1917-18

I didn't find James's death info. Do you have it? Does his obituary mention his parents' names? Do you have a copy of his death certificate? If the Informant at the time of James death was knew (or thought they knew) the mother and father field will be filled in. Successful Searching!

Hoover / Hook family

mrs_k_hoover08 — 2012-08-20 18:24:21Z

I am doing an ancestory report for my husbands family. His paternal grandparents were (Mary Alice and Rayworth Eugene (bub) Hoover. Bubs parents were James B (Jim) Hoover and Rosa or Rose Arvella Hook. I am looking for further information on James' father possibly by the name of George Hoover. I am unsure if that is correct as no one seems to know his name. I am needing his information to find our further generations on the Hoover side. Any information is appreciated. Thank You

Butler family near Flomot and Gasoline Texas

jwshafer2 — 2011-11-21 22:52:14Z

Elizabeth Butler Stevenson is buried in Flomot Cemetery. She lived at Gasoline when she died in 1922. Her brother, Johnny or "Shaunny" Butler was married and had a farm near Flomot, I think between flomot and Gasoline. I know that he lived there in the 1940's when his brother-in-law, John Allen Stevenson was buried at Flomot Cemetery. I am looking for any information on this Butler family or any of Johnny Butler's descendants. He and his sister, Elizabeth, were German immigrants to Texas in the late 1800's. She was born on the trip over. I don't know if he was younger or older. His neices and nephews called him "Uncle Johnny" or sometimes, "Uncle Shaunny"(I'm not sure how to spell it, but it rhymes his Johnny.) because of the German heritage.
I would really like to find some one in this family.

Re: 1939 Pony Express

golfergale — 2011-03-16 04:23:01Z

My dad and Shannon Davidson was best friends. Shannon was raised in Flomot,TX. One of the horses he rode was one of my dad's plow horses. Shannon died after he got back from California, he was heating lindseed oil in an pot outside and the oil flashed and burned him very bad resulting in his death.
I know Shannon has two nephews still living, Ronnie Rogers of Lubbock and Donnie Rogers not for sure where he lives. His sister Bea Roger I believe may be still living in Flomot.
I grew up with the Roger boys in Flomot. When my dad was alive he always talked about Shannon.I have a picture of them together if I could find it.

Re: GGGrandmother Julia Rachel Boshart COLEMAN

HL2604 — 2011-02-24 13:38:17Z

Based on geography, you may have found leads to your Brewer(s)? Silverton and Quitague are in Briscoe County, Flomot is in Motley, and Turkey is in Hall. These counties are in the panhandle area near the Oklahoma border. Matador is in Hidalgo County near the border with Mexico. In my initial search, William Dallas and Ellen were living with their uncle (Samuel R. Conner) in 1910 Garvin, OK. Samuel R. Conner relocated to Harlingen in Cameron County. Cameron is next to Hildalgo County. John Thomas Brewer registered for WWI Draft in Cameron County and named his uncle Samuel R. Conner (of Harlingen) as next-of-kin. We are part of the same generation, so you've got help! I'll get "deeper" into this as time permits. Now, what was your uncle's surname? It would be a big help to know his full name and lifespan. I'm "shooting in the dark" and making suppositions without "clear links"!

Re: GGGrandmother Julia Rachel Boshart COLEMAN

elizabethparks12 — 2011-02-24 07:30:39Z

Hello, This the most I had on any Dallas. Brewer. I new they live either in around Turkey, Texas Matador Are or Sliverton , Flomot or Quitaue(SP?) ,Texas . I have look for yrs. 15 exact... I guess it doen'st matter npw to talk about it everyone is gone now and I am sure Sue Ellen is and her brother Dallas. this is all I know of them My Uncle before he died told me of a boy that was related to my other Uncle who never had any other children... And he was related to these Brewers,,, As the story goes My Uncle was a ,,,,,,,, about everything... My cousins and I have been trying to find this family been all over that area looking and asking question quietly. Maybe some will read this and know the family The son in question knows everythinger are real sure of that...But I guess not about us looking for him... I am 66 so he has to be older than me about 74? if he is still alive.....I some know these people and will get in touch with me. I live in Ok . I do thank you so much for your kindness, Thanks again Elizabeth

Re: GGGrandmother Julia Rachel Boshart COLEMAN

HL2604 — 2011-02-24 04:40:48Z

Courtesy lookup, not related! Believe he may have been William Dallas Brewer born 16 Mar 1892 in Arkansas to Robert Brewer and Eugenia (Conner) Brewer? If the age is close, then find them in 1900 Indian Territory-Chicksaw Nation-Township 4-District 131-Image 16. Then search 1910 OK-Garvin-Stratford-District 0082-Image 30 living with their uncle Samuel R. Conner(37) and granny Elizabeth Conner(73). William Dallas Brewer registered for WWI Draft in Garvin, OK. Older brother John Thomas Brewer (1 Apr 1880) registered for WWI Draft in Harlinge, Cameron, TX. He listed next-of-kin: R. Conner-uncle. I reviewed your previous message searching for possible clues, but found none related to this surname?

Re: GGGrandmother Julia Rachel Boshart COLEMAN

elizabethparks12 — 2011-02-23 21:56:17Z

Sorry this is not related to your line... Looking for any information or even a census record on a Family name Brewer that live in that area, There was a brother and sister name Dallas Brewer and Sue Ellen Brewer and I think they Had Relatives in OK... Have been looking a long time... Could use some Help I know they where there during ww11. Thanks Elizabeth

Sheriff George W. Cook, d. 29 May 1895

RonDeLord — 2009-10-26 21:01:43Z

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. On 28 May 1895, former Motley Co Sheriff Joe BECKHAM shot and mortally wounded Sheriff George W. COOk as he exited the train in Seymour in Baylor County. BECKHAM fled to the Indian Territory and was killed by a posse about 26 Dec 1895. BECKHAM had been the first sheriff of Motley County but was removed from office in 1894. COOK was elected sheriff on 6 Nov 1894. I would like to know the date of birth for Cook, place of burial and if any surviving family members could be located.

Gillis (Martha Gillis) Holladay did die in 1928 of TB.

Clara Newman Tommey (not Toomey) is my grandmother. Lewis chose to place his children in the Methodist Home in Waco because he suffered from epilepsy that was rumored to have been brought on by being kicked in the head (or something to that effect) by a mule. Later, it said that he was able to control the seizures through diet, but I think that wasn't until most of his children were grown.

Modesta Jean and Willard's children are Bruce & Barry. Willard ran a men's clothing store in San Francisco for a time called the Bruce & Barry store -- named for their children. My mother is named Jean after her.

Doyle Mitchell - Obituary Request

asis1950 — 2007-04-16 00:32:50Z

I am looking for the obituary on Doyle Mitchell, b. 14 April 1916; d. September 25, 1972 in Lubbock, Texas. Buried in Roaring Springs Cemetery...I'm guessing this is the name of the Cemetery as well as the town. Doyle married Dorothy Dean Gunn on Sep 3, 1949.

I did find an reading in Roaring Springs Cemetery for a Judson D. Mitchell who had the same date of birth, wife's name Dorothy; but I do not know if this is the same person; my information does not include any reference to Judson.

There is also a listing for Judson D. Mitchell in the "Some Veterans from Roaring Springs, Motley County, Texas" listed under World War II 1941-1946.

While I believe these are the same person as my Doyle Mitchell; hopefully the obituary would confirm my belief or tell I'm wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The Matador Maverick reports the killing of Pete Miller by Van Martin, 15 miles
northwest of Matador on the Van Martin ranch on Tuesday of last week. Martin
surrendered to the sheriff and under his statement, corroborated by what could
be seen of the surroundings, as admitted to bail by Judge Anderson in the sum of $750. It seems Martin acting purely in self defense.
