Re: any Information please scott

newdls28 — 2009-11-07 22:06:34Z

Thanks guys, I think what I need to do is start from Grandma's birth certificate if I can find it.. Maybe one of you guys can look for me? Her name was Willie Mae or Mary Phillips she was born in 1910 died in corrigan,texas 2001. She might have been born in polk county,texas.

Oops! Went too far on the supposition! Walter Ruben Nicholson's parents were correctly identified. However, they were not John Nicholson and Missouri on 1900 Nacogdoches Census. He was with his parents, John Nicholson and Missouri, in 1900 Hopkins-Precinct 1-District 46-Page 7. Right names, wrong people! Your task is to find a marriage between an unknown male, surnamed Scott, and a bride named Missouri in Nacogdoches or nearby?

Re: any Information please scott

HL2604 — 2009-11-07 12:15:34Z

Strictly guessing!!!! Floyd Scott's mother may have been Missouri Ann Harris? In 1900 Nacogdoches-Precinct 1-District 40-Page 96, John Nicholson(39) was head of a household with wife Missouri(39). They were enumerated as married for 18 years but methinks this was their second marriage to each other? The Family History Library records a marriage between this couple on 16 Jul 1874 in Gregg County. That is supported by death certificate of Walter Ruben Nicholson (19 Apr 1875 - 11 Jul 1939). He died in Longview and parents identified John Nicholson and Missouri Harris. Back to the 1900 census! John Nicholson's children identified as: William(15), Hattie(12), Emma(9), Lee L.(7), and Lizzie(4). Death certificates indicate their mother was Elizabeth Hutchinson. Guessing John Nicholson's and Missouri's first marriage dissolved around 1880-1881? Back to the 1900 census! John Nicholson's stepchildren identified as: Floyd Scott(16), Emma Dykes(12), and Jessie Dykes(9). Was Missouri their mother? Questionable, at best! Jesse Dykes' death certificate indicates parents were Henry Dykes and Lucy McIntosh. Floyd's parents were unknown to his certificate's informant. Lots of supposition! You'll definitely need marriage info to begin research.

Re: any Information please scott

JNMclou — 2009-11-07 02:48:24Z

Floyd Scott was married to Ada Henderson. She died before Floyd. His death certificate states he was a widower. He was born 1882 and died in 1936. They had a son named Wesley Floyd Scott. He was born 1918, and died in 1967 when a log fell on him and fractured his pelvis. He was a log truck driver. Floyd Wesley is buried in Union Springs Cemetery in Polk County (Corrigan). His wife was Lorine.

Re: any Information please scott

newdls28 — 2009-11-07 00:48:51Z

Yes I was born and raised in southeast texas and still live in texas :) Thanks I will try the marriage records to see if I can find anything. I dont know anything about my great grandma, all I know is Grandma's mother's name was ada scott and father is floyd.

Re: any Information please scott

HL2604 — 2009-11-06 23:59:54Z

I sincerely hope you reside in East Texas? You'll probably need to visit county courthouses, several, more than once? Sorry! In regards to Ada, 1900 census of Nacogdoches-Precinct 2-District 42-Page 22 indicates her mother may have been Mary Ann (nee: Hart) (Henderson) Hilliard? You'll need a marriage lookup from Nacogdoches to confirm Mary Ann and unknown Henderson (possibly Herndon Henderson of Alabama)?

Re: Scott

newdls28 — 2009-11-06 19:44:35Z

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

ED_RHODEN — 2009-09-26 03:01:37Z

Big Sandy and Dallardsville are the same place. The post office there says Dallardsville. The old Rhoden homeplace is owned by my mom. It is a very old white colored 'A' frame house on the north side of FM1276 . "Rhoden Lane" is named for our family, and the sign has been stolen a few times. If you know where Uncle Oscar's house was, Rhoden Lane is the same road. Levert Rhoden had a house down there when I was a little boy (about 45 years ago), and Uncle Oscar ran cattle down there.

Emory Bailey had the place on the hill just up from Uncle Oscar's place. He was my grandmothers, Lela Mae Bailey Rhoden, brother. He had the best fishing pond in the country behind his barn.

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

spazsportz_1 — 2009-09-26 02:04:52Z

Hi Ed,
You'll have to give me specifics on the Rhoden Homestead on FM1276 as I believe that is where Tour (aka Sweetie, Siddie) was born in 1890. Her birth certificate shows Big Sandy but we didn't know exactly where. We've got Myrtle located on Greer Road at Sam's old homestead, but that was purchased in the early 1900's.

I found Rhoden Lane off of 1276 on mapquest, but have no clue who that is named for. I'll also have to travel over to Dallardsville to get a picture of Thomas' grave/headstone. It's all less than 30 minutes from me.

Let me know if you need anything when I head over there like pictures and such.

Thanks,
Chrisy

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

spazsportz_1 — 2009-09-26 01:48:56Z

I will keep an eye out. I have an extensive amount of information, but none mentions an Officer so far. I will let you know if anything comes about. Thanks for the head's up.

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

RonDeLord — 2009-09-24 03:56:31Z

Thanks. If you can find the correct Rhoden it would allow me to get his name on the peace officers memorial.

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

ED_RHODEN — 2009-09-24 03:45:19Z

I would have to agree with the latter date of death. My dad, Maurice Rhoden, remembered 'Uncle Tom's' house near the Big Sandy creek. My father was born in 1929, and lived across the road (FM 1276) at the old Rhoden homeplace. I visited Tom's grave about 8 years ago in Dallardsville (Big Sandy), when I was down there visiting with my parents. My father died almost 5 years ago.

I do believe, however, that Eli Rhoden had a son named Thomas. I don't have access to the family tree at the minute.

Ed

Re: Rhoden Family in East Texas

spazsportz_1 — 2009-09-24 02:33:41Z

Hi Ron,

Most of your info is correct, except this Thomas died February 10, 1941.

Thomas (Tom) RHODEN born 07-17-1863 in Polk County. Eli Rhoden and Eunice (Unity) Caroline Bartee are his parents (my ggggrandparents). Eli and Unity are buried at Menard Chapel in Polk County, Texas. Thomas is buried in Big Sandy, Dallardsville.

Sorry for the disappointment.

A Civil War Monument was erected in Pine Grove Cemetery for Hiram Lee McKnight. Sources say he died in Cherokee County, so need to know if he is buried there or if the memorial was placed there in his memory.

Re: death inquiry

beth2761 — 2009-09-02 10:55:32Z

Don't know if this helps or not - my mother granduated from Goodrich High School back in the 50's. Her maiden name was Mary Alice Duff. I can put your mother in touch with her if your mother knows her. I think I remember her talking about a girlfriend named Johnnie when I was little. Thanks!

Re: DUFF family of Polk Co., TX

beth2761 — 2009-09-02 10:50:47Z

My grandfather was Ester Duff of Polk County. His mother was Nancy Elizabeth Murphy. I heard a lot about an "Uncle Calvin" growing up - this could have been my grandfather's brother, I am not sure. I would appreciate any information you have. (My grandfather had another brother named Sam, and I remember hearing about a James as well, but was so young I don't know what the actual relationships were.)

Re: John Calvin Coker

beth2761 — 2009-09-02 10:47:26Z

I grew up in Polk County, TX. My grandparents were Ester (male) and Margurite Duff. I am seeking information about that family line - his mother was Namcy Elizabeth Murphy. But I wanted to let you know, growing up there as a child I recall that "Coker" was a family name that I heard frequently and assume was an established family there. We lived in an area close to Goodrich and Livingston called Schwab City, and attended school and did business in Livingston. My grandfather was a rancher/farmer and politician. I remember hearing him speak of the "cokers". Perhaps if you can get hold of a phone book even down there, I can't imagine this family would not still have living descendants in the area - I believe they were a well known family. I hope this helps and if you turn up anything on my line in your search - please let me know.

Re: DUFF family of Polk Co., TX

beth2761 — 2009-08-31 15:33:25Z

I am interested in the Duff and Murphy families. My grandfather was Ester Duff, I believe Calvin was either his father or brother (?), of Livingston, Texas. My great grandmother (Ester's mother) was Nancy Elizabeth Murphy. I am named after her, Nancy Elizabeth Delling. My mother, Mary Alice Duff, is the daughter of Ester and Margurite Duff. Thank you!

Re: DUFF family of Polk Co., TX

beth2761 — 2009-08-31 15:29:01Z

I am just reading this post, and I know it has been a long time, but I am interested in information about my family. My grandfather was Ester Duff, his wife was Margurite LaFaye Holland Duff (Livingston, both deceased), I think Ester's mother was Nancy Elizabeth Murphy. I know I am named after her - I am Nancy Elizabeth Delling (maiden). My mother is Mary Alice Duff, the daughter of Ester and Margurite. I would appreciate any information you have on the Duff and Murphy family.
Thank you!!!

Re: James A. Waldrip

HI: this is same line that I am hunting, too. But the son that you named Thomas Green?, is instead, Thomas Guyon age 5, and the son Milton Jasper is correct not the one that you have listed (Mellon). I was wondering too, who his lst wife was if there was one, and where he is before 1860 in Polk Co. Texas. Hopefully he is the son of Michael. Thanks,

Re: James A. Waldrip

reddot77Q — 2009-08-19 05:54:32Z

Would like to be updated on your findings. Have found out this is the same James A. Waldrip with son Thomas Guyon, which I believe is my son's gr.gr. grandfather. Dot

DanFranklin48 — 2009-07-01 16:43:49Z

I am continuing to go thru old picture that were owned by Thomas Brock, who died in May 2009.

The attached picture has written on it Freddie Overstreet March 1930. I cannot make a connection with the Brock family and assume that it is a picture of a friend of the family.

From the picture it looks like he would have been born around 1900.

Re: David C. Murphy m. Bettie MNU

MarionParker99 — 2009-07-30 09:32:15Z

I don't think I can help you with the Dave C. Murphy. However, his wife's name was Betsy "Bettie" Wiggins. Her father's name was William Wiggins. I believe her mother's name was Marth Daniels. William abd Martha are on the 1870 census of Polk County, Texas. On that census Betsy is 12 and born in Florida. On the 1880 census of Tyler County, Texas, William is remarried. On the census, Bettie is Elizabeth.

William and Bettie's son William S. Murphy, who was born 17 April 1885 in Tyler County, Texas, died 8 June 1923 in Call, Newton County, Texas. He is buried in Trout Creek Cemetery in Newton County.

Elisha Walker Murphy, the brother of David C. Murphy 3 February 1946. He is buried in Phelps Cemetery in White Oak, Texas.

Re: Moore-Cheek-Lamb -Barton-Families

MarionParker99 — 2009-09-19 14:34:02Z

I don't find the Moore family living in Polk County, Texas. However, I find them in Ellis County, Texas, in 1900. William Z Moore and Birdie, his wife, are living with his parents, John C. Moore and Gilla (Smith?) Moore.

In addition to William Z, they also have a son Claude and a daughter Jane. William Z, Claude and Jane were all born in Georgia. Birdie was born in Texas, and her parents in Tennesee.

In 1910, I find William Z Moore married to a Florence and they have three children under 4 years old, all born in Kansas. They are living in Marion County, Kansas. They are also found on a 1915 census living in Kansas.

I found the death certificate for Virgil Laney Moore. He was born 1 Oct 1900 in Texas. He died 16 November 1975 in North Richland Hills, Tarrant County, Texas. His father is given as Will Moore and his mother Birdie Cheek. He is buried in Bluebonnet Hills Cemetery.

In 1910, Virgil Moore is living with his grandmother Mary Barton in Tarrant County, Texas.
