Do you happen to know the history of Ballew Cemetery? I have some relatives buried there, but I am curious about why this little cemetery exists versus the bigger one in town.

Best regards, Joe.

Rebecca Clement (21 Nov 1827 - 22 Feb 1911) has findagrave memorial with picture in Grayson County. Consider adding source documentation to your tree? Census data, military draft/service, death certificates, marriage info, etal will enhance your research.

Re: Riley and Sarah Clements

HL2604 — 2013-04-26 12:08:05Z

Okay! I'm somewhat disjointed because of death in the family! Don't recall where I found death info for Willie John Clement (18 Dec 1863 - 2 Oct 1864) or Sally Ester Clement (23 Nov 1870 - 30 Jul 1872)? Arthur Holmes Clement (11 Jul 1874 - 3 Dec 1939) has findagrave memorial in Wise County. John Lee Clement (16 Mar 1886 - 25 Apr 1951) has findagrave memorial in Murray, OK same cemetery as father, stepmother (18 Jun 1858 - Oct 1916), etc. Bluford "Clements" wed Rebecca Davenport, 17 Apr 1844 in Fannin, TX. That's found https://familysearch.org/ If/When my head becomes more clear, I'd like to explore the possibility of kinship between Bluford and Abraham Clement. Both christensed sons Riley and they resided in close proximity. Bluford lived in Grayson County while Abraham built his home in Lamar County.

Different families and I'm not related! Riley Clement in the original thread was son of Abraham Clement/Francis McClure. He died 8 Aug 1916 in Tarrant County. His wife died 26 Dec 1940 and they share a headstone in Palo Pinto County.

Re: Spruce McCoy Wood b 1817

brogers918 — 2013-04-10 19:17:30Z

I realize this reply is long overdue for you. Elizabeth Cordelia Wood was my Great Grandmother. I am researching Spruce M Wood and have been for years. Elizabeth's mother was Mary Manada. In the 1880 U.S. Census Mary's father was listed as Virginian and her mother Indian. As Dana has told me Spruce married Mary during the wagon train to Texas from Missouri. Dana didn't know why Nancy Parsley didn't go to Texas on the wagon train. By the way it was illegal to marry a native in Missouri so Spruce would have had to marry Mary in Oklahoma or Texas.

Hello fellow Cameron Clan member!

Our George W. Cameron, came to Texas in 1895, and the others to Oklahoma, in 1900, in Pawnee, County.

Descended from Peter Newton Cameron, born in Kentucky, our family story is that we are Scot-Irish Cameron's. We don't have proof above Peter, born in Louisville, in 1817.

If any of this seems interesting, give me a shout out! "For a Cameron never can yield!"

John Powers 1860, Palo Pinto Co.

srayeng — 2013-02-04 02:52:57Z

My GrGrGrandfather was John Powers (1793-?1864)he was married to Nelly (1805-1897). They are both listed in the 1860 Census, Palo Pinto Co. She died in Missouri where the rest of the family lived. Would anyone have information about the family or where John Powers might be buried. I've seen the post about a John Powers in Whitesboro, Texas cemetery and during the war he had distant relatives (Jim McCool)there. The family had owned slaves in Missouri so may have fought for the Confederacy although a little old at 71. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have done further study on this family. I found the unmarked gravesite of Giles Grantham in Phoenix AZ near twin Buttes. I have a picture of it on my tree. Giles son, Elbert Giles, died in Williams AZ circa 1975. I'd like some info on Giles' twin brother Jesse. Oh, and I figured out the name confusion regarding Andrew Jackson's death certificate. Molly is a nickname for Elizabeth.

Re: Pierce, Vaden

HL2604 — 2012-12-19 22:44:49Z

If online research has been your sole/primary focus todate, you might never solve that brickwall! Strong possibility his parents were G. T. Pierce/Sarah LNU? In 1880 Somervell-Precinct 1-146-Image 14, G. T./Sarah can be found. The next forward image has Moses/Sarah. That's the only enumeration of G. T. Pierce. In view of his age in 1880, he may have died in Somervell? Proving kinship will probably require research of probate records? FYI a couple of family trees agree with my assessment.

Pierce, Vaden

Re: Williams family info

thomasker2 — 2012-11-18 20:02:51Z

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

1940 is the last available census at this time.

Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++

Re: Baby brother

I also have gone on this ghost walk through Mineral Wells. I was speaking with the guide afterwards and she was telling me many of Norwood's records couldn't be found since they were said to have done human experiments in the basement with special needs children that were abandoned at the hospital. I have not found any further proof of this however she discussed Nazi human experiments and other experiments that he used to further his studies in medicine. If this is true I am concerned that the records for Dr Norwood are no longer available for fear of releasing too much information. I am also looking for a child that my great-grandmother abandoned but have had no success in finding any dates or information on him at all.

Re: AWTREY

Your grandfather Henry Burkett Awtrey was my husband's father. After Buck's marriage to Jerry he married Nan Emma Dodd in Mineral Wells. They had two children, Henry Burkett
Autrey, Jr. and Otis Don Autrey. Henry was born May 30,1930
and died 2/16/1985. Don was born October 17, 1931 and died AApril 17,1966. Don had no children. Henry's first marriage to Joan Allen in Minnesota produced two children. Allen Webb Autrey is a physician. His sister Nancy Autrey Uusgard both live in Minnesota. Henry and I were married in 1961 and had two children, David Randall Autrey b.1/12/62 and Paula J.

Re: Baby brother

corina_oaks — 2012-10-07 19:19:31Z

Just saw your post while I was searching for info about the Norwood hospital. I took a baker hotel ghost tour that took us by the Norwood hospital, which is condemned now and there is a crazy old man living on the third floor. However the guide told us she found out there were adoptions that went on at the baker, and that some of the children stayed at the Norwood hospital until they were adopted out. Apparently they bought babies and children for 300 or so dollars and then adopted them out. She said she met a man who actually remembers being sold for 450.00. There were a couple different stories she tells about it, but one was from a suicide note found on a tattered teddy bear next to the baker in a shop, it says she was a young girl who got pregnant and was forced to sell her baby for 300.00 to the baker. Just thought I would share!

Re: virgil t smith

the parents are not listed on Albert Smith,s DC. He was born, according to the DC, on 21 Mar 1886 in Macon, Ga., and died on 01 Apr 1963 in Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. He and Effie are both buried in Elmwood Cemetary, Mineral Wells, Texas. According to his SS, Albert was b. 20 March 1886, which is a day difference. His SS no is 463-14-4044. You might try to send for the SS appl. as it should have his parents names listed. Albert would have filled it out himself, and the person who filled out the DC did not know. The Smith name is hard to search. Good luck.

Re: researching York-Daves

jojeg_1 — 2012-09-19 21:14:12Z

I am one of Mary Catherine's great-granddaughters. My grandmother was Emma York-Daves wife of William S. Daves. My mother was Betty K. Gray-Butler and I am Jewel Orvilla Butler-Gibson.

Was you Great-grandfather John York? If so, you will find his dad listed as Melvin L. York and his wife Narcissus in the Palo Pinto, Tx census.

In 1900 Mary had already married Wm. S. Daves in 1889 and was living in Dallas, Tx. Mary died Jan 23, 1932. She is buried in the Brazos, Palo Pinto County area. I think she IS buried next to William with no marker. Please feel free to contact me at jojeg@verizon.net.

A puzzle for all you genealogists out there.

Jessie Elva McDonald was my Grandfathers second wife. He was Raleigh Job.

S.S. records her death as Jessie Job, Jan. 1982, and shows her birth as Jan. 23, 1890. I show that she was born in 1886.

In 1880, Milam Co. TX, there lived a family of D. McDonald, 34, b. TX, wife, S.C., 26, b. Miss., J.M., son, 8, L.G., 5, daug., D. son, 3, and unnamed son, 1/12. Also there was B.B. Cooley, 22, who was a brother to S.C., although it didn't say that, the maiden name of Sophronia McDonald was Cooley.

In 1900, Milam Co. TX, they were Daniel, 54, b. 1846, TX, Married for 29 years, wife Sophronia, 46, b. 1853, Miss., 10 children living of 12 born to her., Roy, son, 20, Jerry, son 18, Arthur and Luther, twin sons, b. 1884, Jessie E., SON, MALE, b. Jan 1886, 14,Charles D., son, b. 1889, and Cora E., b. 1893.

Q. Is there any record to be had that shows this person b. either in Jan. 1886 or 1890, and whether male or female?

In 1900, Milam Co. TX, there were Ruben Holbert, wife Bettie, and sons, Ben, 28, b. TX, Ivy, 19, b. TX, and Wiley, 15, b. TX.

In 1902, Jessie married Ivy Holbert.

Q. Would this marriage record show parents names? Birth dates or ages?

About 1904 Jessie and Ivy had a daughter, Minnie.

Q. If this birth record is available, would it show ages of the parents?

In 1910, Milam Co. TX, listed were Sophronia McDonald, widow, 56, Luther, 26, Charley, 20, and Cora, 18. Also there was a Granddaughter, Minnie Holbert, 6.

I cannot find Jessie in the 1910 census anywhere.

Sometime between the conception of Minnie Holbert, ~1904, and the second marriage of Ivy Holbert, ~1908-1909, apparently Ivy and Jessie were seperated, probably by divorce.

Q. Is there a record of this divorce?

In 1910, Woodbury Co. IA, were I. L. Holbert, 29, and wife Ethel, 19, who had been married for one year. (1908-1909).

Q. Is there a record of this marriage in either IA or TX?

There is a photo of Jessie existing that shows on the back the notation, Mrs. Boyd, 1914, Alto TX, (in Cherokee Co.). Looks like she re-married to a Mr. Boyd.

Q. Any record of this marriage of either a Jessie McDonald or Jessie Holbert to a Mr. Boyd in either Milam or Cherokee Co. TX?

In 1920, Ivey and Ethel and 2 children are in Dakota Co. NE, in 1930, in NE, as Halbert, and in 1940, in NE as Ivan, with no Ethel.

In 1940 Jessie is listed as wife of Raleigh Job, living in Chicago.

On July 11, 1941, in Putnam Co. IN, Raleigh Job is married to Jessie.

I found in 1920, in Palo Pinto Co. TX, a J. E. Boyd, 33, b. TX, as the wife of G. W. Boyd, 47, with L. B. Boyd, daughter, 13, W. M. Boyd, daughter, L. L. Boyd, 7, son, H. D., 5, son, and W. A., 2, son.

Q. Could this be Jessie re-married to a Boyd ~1906-1907?

Q. Would there be a marriage license of that marriage in either Milam, Cherokee or Palo Pinto Co?

In 1930 this couple was in Wise Co. TX, and the Names were George, 55, and Alice J., (possible mis-written Elva?) 44. They had sons Luther, 18, H. D., 15, Everett, 5, and a daughter Viola, 9. There was a granddaughter, Marie Extell, 5, b. TX also.

Anxious to get the answer to any of these questions. Thanks, Paul

Re: Dalton and Slaughter connection

JeanOMc — 2012-08-07 00:52:29Z

Hello Bill.

I too, am descended from the Palo Pinto Dalton-Slaughter "connection"...from the first marriage of Ottie Della Dalton, the eldest daughter of Robert Dalton and Millie Slaughter.

I lived in Washington State for many years, so certainly wish I could have visited with you and your Dad. Do contact me if you'd like what further info I might provide on my line...and I'd love to know any family stories you might provide!

Re: John Dulin Family

PaulaFaulkner50 — 2012-07-24 16:05:51Z

Hi! Have you found anything on John Dulin and Nancy Farmer? They are shown in the McNairy, TN 1850 Census with their daughter, Nancy (Nancy Emaline). It looks like they were married by then. They also had a son named Franklin D. Nancy Emaline was my great-grandmother.

Thanks,
Paula

Re: Need Marriage lookup 1963

HL2604 — 2012-07-02 08:32:19Z

There's enough information in your original posting to "figure it out". She was Mary Alice (nee: Messner) Moore (19 Apr 1885 - 19 Mar 1974) born in Louisiana and died in Mineral Wells. Her daughter, Mrs. Olen Adkins, was the informant. Document viewable/printable https://familysearch.org/ Mrs. Olen Arthur Adkins (Alice Gertrude Newberry) and her husband have two birth records listed http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=8781 You can request a copy of the marriage certificate from the county clerk http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/cclerks.shtml#M The Newberry-family were long-term residents of Palo Pinto County. If interested, search 1930 Palo Pinto-Mineral Wells-District 13-Image 26 for Earl Newberry(43). From there you can find links to his earlier census records. I'm not related to any surname mentioned!
