Mary Caroline married to Stephen B McCommas

ValleyGirl1973 — 2013-05-31 22:46:49Z

My great great grandmother was Mary Caroline McCommas. She was allegedly born in Parker County in 1854 but no record of her birth can be found there. I am searching for the identity of her mother also named Mary Caroline. Her mother was born around 1827 in Missouri and married John S Barnes, had two children (one Sarah E born 1848 in MO, one unknown born 1850/1851 in TX) before John Barnes passed away around 1851. Mary Caroline then married Stephen B McCommas. Probate records in Tarrant TX refer to her only as widow to John S Barnes. Anyone recognize these names? I have tested on 23amdme and my dad has too. This line goes down Dad's maternal side. Desperate to find info on this person. I believe the name Pleona holds significance. Mary Caroline McCommas marries William Fulkerson and names a daughter Pleona Melvinie Fulkerson. Pleona was Dad's maternal grandmother.

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

eGENEee — 2013-05-31 19:15:14Z

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This format is outdated, however, and no longer used.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

Re: Stults/Stultz family of Parker Co., TX

wendynftw — 2013-05-11 05:25:01Z

About number 7. on your list. George Thomas Stults and Missouri Anne Choat were my Great-Grandparents. They had two daughters. The oldest Pearl May Stults who married Lloyd R. Dobbs had 4 children one of which was my mother. The youngest Ruby Estell Stults who married a Mr. Taylor had no children. Missouri Ann Choat was a widow when she married George Thomas Stults and she had one older daughter from the prior marriage. Her name was Daisy Annie Duke and she also married a Stults.

Grave for Thomas Grigsby Oldest child of Horace & Mary Grigsby

am45tx — 2013-05-04 22:08:03Z

I have always known about Thomas and his death. He was born 1848 died age 9 with pains in his "bowels". I know there is a Grigsby family plot in Ash Creek. I need to come up there and do leg work. To locate Horace's Mother grave and a friend from KY. I was told about her she helped her raise her children. I have a Ky list of all of Sam & Lilly's children. He died in KY and she moved to TX with Horace and Mary. Also Mary Elizabeth Stom Grigsby's parents were Preston Stum and Anna B Unsell....Preston's mother was Ruth Unsell Stum and Anna's Dad was David Unsell ...brother and sister. Parents were Abraham Unsell and Anna Stoval. A dear I 've met on Ancestry friend has it proven.

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

shana1212 — 2013-05-04 14:00:10Z

Something is definitely amiss here. I found Horace Grigsby in 1900 Azle, Parker co TX, but I don't see the LB Barnes you mentioned. I only see Horace, wife Mary, children: Caldonia, Scott, Henry, Maudy, Tennie, and Horace.

Next I find 1910 Tarrant co, pct 5(which is probably Azle, as Azle IS on the county line of Parker AND Tarrant):
Family #143 and Dwelling #143 is H W Grigsby and wife M E Grigsby with children Callie and Maude.

BUT on the next page is the LB Barnes 16 year old as family #124 and dwelling #124. Now over on the next page at the top is the rest of HW and ME children: Tina and Edward. They are listed as the continuation family #143 and dwelling #143.

Looks like the census pages are out of order for some odd reason. But the Grigsby family starts on 8-A, next page over is the LB Barns on 8-B, then 9-A are last two Grigsby children. So, the family and dwelling numbers are out of order, but the page numbers appear to be in the correct order.

Hope that helps. I don't believe this LB Barnes is the daugher of HW and ME Grigsby... unless she is found in another census with them and a relation stated.

Also if you look at sheet 7-B is GW Barnes as family #123. Definitely out of order.

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

eGENEee — 2013-05-03 05:24:18Z

Do you know where and when Horace and Mary died? or where and when any other family member died? Their obituaries might sort out the relationship.

It's possible she was a cousin they adopted -- or it's possible that the census was wrong for one of the years.

I'll keep looking...

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

eGENEee — 2013-05-03 02:03:00Z

If you look at the original 1910 US Census you'll see that L.B. Barnes is on the next sheet, and that the next family is the Barnes family. It's likely that she is actually the daughter in the Barnes family, and that she's been "grouped" incorrectly.

Take a look....

Update: Nope, she probably isn't the Barnes' daughter -- Mrs. Barnes had only two children living and they're listed. It's still likely that she's related to them, though.

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

eGENEee — 2013-05-03 01:48:25Z

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

eGENEee — 2013-05-03 01:40:13Z

I can't find L. B. Barnes in the 1900 US Census in Texas.

In what town?

Re: Name on Census Tx Parker CO

barbdale_1 — 2013-05-03 01:36:59Z

Actual, Azle is in Tarrant County, and that is where they lived. I find L.B. Barnes in 1910 listed as a daughter, but she is not with them in 1900 - where did you find her that year? You might look for obituaries for Horace and Mary, to see if she is listed.

Many thanks for the information from what now seems an awkward post. These can now be added to a tree that goes back to the 12 century and the ancient Welsh Princes. Very difficult to trace from across the pond. I'll try and find descendants. Diolch yn Fawr (thank you)

Re: David Jones and Ellen Jones

Brightstarr10 — 2012-09-27 00:45:05Z

Hi kepgw. When making a post, please try to post as much info on a person as you have, such as birth dates, death dates, and locations, maidian names of the female. Like William who? It appears you are just starting genealogy. Just giving you some pointers on getting the best help you can.
Now, we can get started here. William A. Jones is buried in Woodland Park
burial place: Mineral Wells, Tx. He died according to his DC in Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto Co. Texas, on Jun. 12, 1956. B. Aug. 8, 1878 in Wales. William was a widow, and the informant on his DC (death cert) was a Mrs. Mourine Kingsland.
David Jones died Nov. 9, 1911. per his DC, and is listed as being buried in the City cememtery of Parker Co. Texas.
Now, Margarett is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. Her DC list her as C. W. Scott. She was the wife of Clyde W. Scott. Margaret died Jun. 21, 1931 in Ft. Worth, Tarrant Co,, Texas, but was buried in Parker Co.
Evan P. Jones died in Mashall, Harrison Co, Texas, on 04 Dec 1916. Evan was also buried in Weatherford, Texas, Parker Co.
There is a Mrs. V. E. Martin, Who I believe is Susie. she died 03 Dec 1943, in Fort Worth, Texas, and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery,Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. I will have to check on this to confirm it is her for sure.
I have not found Robert.
David Jones and Ellen Pugh must have married in Wales. per the census records.
THis is some of what I found to get you on the right tract and good luck with your genealogy.

To Ryan and Rachelle an offer of help if needed

1_tonym23 — 2012-05-19 20:22:37Z

To Rachelle and Ryan,

To both of you: Out of memory of your mom, please let me know if I can ever do anything for either one of you? I made this offer to Rachelle yet I want to also extend it to Ryan who Sarah bragged on equally with Rachelle the times I visited her in the hospital or at other locations from 2003 to her passing in 2005.

To Rachelle: Please pass on my offer of help above to your brother. My feeling is that this Ancestry.com posting is only viewed by you and not him???? You invited me to join your group of friends on facebook yet please understand that I have had a bad experience with facebook so I prefer not to spend much time with that website service. Ryan and you are welcome to contact me at any of the following email addresses should y'all think of anything I could do to help?:

mortonfan100@yahoo.com or mortonfan@hotmail.com or tonym@mullinisd.net

I do not own a cell phone and a phone number to offer to Ryan or you. My work place issues me a phone to use that is shared with other employees. At least one of the above three email accounts should be working for a long time.

Please do NOT think my offer of help is me being a nice guy, instead it is yet one more memorial type memory of your mom's caring nature. i.e. she would be offering to help my child, Cayla, if cancer had taken me and not her in 2005.

To both of you, God Bless.

I deeply appreciate you offering to help me, if ever I needed. I never got to thank you for the graduation gift because we didn't have an address for you. But now, THANK YOU, so much. That helped me out a great amount. My email address is rachelle_morse@live.com
If you ever need to get a hold of me, I check my email everyday.
I live in florida now with my fiance. Chances of meeting with you are low, but like I said, my email is checked everyday.
Have a wonderful day, Tony. I'm so glad I spoke with you.

With Great Appreciation,
Rachelle Lynn Morse

Rachelle,

I am so shocked to read your reply. Thank you a thousand times for confirming what your mom told me about her final resting place plans. That plan being that her ashes were to be spread over a mountain side in New Mexico. I would have wasted hours looking for sometype of grave marker for her ashes at Buckner Cemetary had you not confirmed what I thought to be true.

When I went by your Aunt's home in the spring of your high school graduation year to leave you a cash graduation gift (in memory of your mom who clearly cared about and loved you dearly), I figured I would never hear from, come in contact with, etc. anyone from Sarah's family again. However, I was expecting maybe a posting about your mom from your Aunt or your brother.

I remember every memory you mentioned in your posting about your mom.

Like you, I miss her more and more each day. I even have copies of what she wrote to me in my high school yearbook. I keep it in various places where I see her note to me often. There was an incident in Nov. of 2010 that ensured to me that at the deepest level of my heart, your mom held the key. The story of that incident is corney yet special to me. I am also glad I got to attend her memorial service on July 7th, 2005 (I think the date is correct?)

I would like to offer to help to you in the future as a memorial to & memory of your mom. I would do anything to help you if you ever asked DEPENDING ON if I am in a position to help in what ever way you might ask?

I currently have three jobs and need to close to attend to so some of my duties. God Bless You!!! today and in the future.

My mother was cremated. And yes, her ashes were spread off a mountain in New Mexico she used to take me too when I was young. She is not at Buckner Cemetery. Tony, if you need any other information you can contact me. She cared a great deal about you. And always spoke so highly of you. I remember one day when we visited you at the inspection place we took her black Ford to. She was ecstatic to see you. That's the day I met you. That was a good day for her. I miss her more and more each day.

Does anyone have a copy of this? I am trying to find out if it contains any information on my ancestor David Milburn who was injured in an indian attack sometime around 1860.

She told me more than once her remains would be spread out on some mountain side in New Mexico. I think her mother's ashes are there also? I assume her husband/sister got that done? She and I had a long and nice visit in the hospital as she was about to start chemotherpy.

If she is in the Buckner Cemetary, I would go there often to leave flowers, reflect, ...etc. I miss her.

Helen, I appreciate it but I was needing it for a book that I wrote and released last year called, "How Did They Die? Murders in Northern Texas 1926-1975." I just wrote the genealogy part of the murder story without it. But, thank you anyway. Julie Coley
