My Albert S Johnson, son of WR Johnson and Penelope Dunning, died of an accidental gunshot wound at the age of 21 in 1901 and is buried at Stephens Creek, San Jacinto Co., TX, Mt. Zion Cemetery. A relative told me the details, painful as they are to family history. The 1900 census shows him single living with his stepfather's family.

He is not the ASJ you mentioned in your posting.

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

HL2604 — 2013-04-01 16:38:40Z

Peeped at your tree and Albert S. Johnson has very little info? "Stretching" 'cause when I graduated high school, a passing grade in Texas History was mandatory. Since I began genealogy research, 1998, I've learned to improve my knowledge of Texas' Geography. I believe Albert was the A. S. Johnson who wed Fannie Vivian Willcoxon, 15 Jul 1914 in Montgomery County? Albert Sidney Johnson (19 Mar 1880 - 8 Feb 1943) died in Harris County. Prove me wrong!

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

HL2604 — 2013-04-01 16:07:26Z

You authored the findagrave memorial for Penelope? Logon https://familysearch.org/ Click highlighted "Death" then enter Texas in "Death Place" box. Click highlighted "Parents" then enter James P Winters as the father and Nelly as the mom. Click "Search" and that'll return certificates on James C., John D., and Sherman Franklin. What additional info are you seeking?

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

clayton_1 — 2013-04-01 12:21:04Z

James' death certificate - what information can you give me from that? I'll try to find the image on familysearch.

Thanks,

Re: ROARK CEMETERY

MikeDach — 2013-03-28 17:03:41Z

I'm new at Genealogy networking. I am interested in the history of the John Green Stephens (1845-1904/1905) families, with wives Mary Ann Pruitt (1849-1931) and Fannie Howard (1879-1950). Many of their descendants are buried in Squier Cemetery and nearby Roark Cemetery. I have visited Squier Cemetery, which contains the grave of J G Stephens’ 2nd wife Fannie Howard Stephens Young (1879-1950). I would like directions to the nearby Roark Cemetery, which basis hearsay, contains the grave of J G Stephens, and his 1st wife Mary Ann Pruitt Stephens. Can give me (1) instructions for contacting the landowner for permission, and/or (2) directions to the Roark Cemetery.

Cheers, Mike Dach (my wife is Patricia Stephens of Cleveland, TX)

clayton_1 — 2013-03-27 03:12:54Z

Yes, that's right - she did marry a Johnson. I've been hunting for that marriage too. Mr. Johnson abandoned Nelly for another woman. He's supposed to have been a physician.

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

HL2604 — 2013-03-26 21:14:02Z

She had a prior marriage to W. R. Johnson, 10 Oct 1877 in Bandera County.

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

HL2604 — 2013-03-26 21:07:17Z

Same source: J. P. Winters wed Nelly Johnson, 27 Jul 1882 in Comal County. On James C.'s death certificate, the mother's maiden identified as Dunning?

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

clayton_1 — 2013-03-26 19:41:46Z

Yes, this is his first wife. Thanks Ken

Re: Marriage Lookup abt. 1882

J. P. Winters married Mary F. Ellisor 29 Jan 1873 in San Jacinto Co. TX. (from Texas Marriages 1837-1873" index)

I remember my grandfather, Lawrence Hutto, telling about his ancestor Mahala Blocker Hutto Carnes being buried there just after she died in the great hurricane of 1900. She was quickly buried and did not have a grave marker.

Re: Walding

ecwalding — 2012-08-25 22:33:27Z

I believe this is the Walding line of my grandfather, James Madison Walding, born in Dale County, AL 1852/died 1908. Can you please contact me? thank you!

Re: Walding

ecwalding — 2012-08-25 22:32:00Z

My father and grandfather Waldings were from Dale County, Al. Grandfather: James Madison Walding(1854-1908)and his father was Calvin Mason Walding(8124-1901). Do you have any information on this line of Waldings? I am just getting started and all of the Waldings in my family and now deceased so I need lots of help! Thanks. Cheryl Walding Tommey-Crosby

Re: Goree/Hayes/Haze

Hi Blister62,

Yes, I would like to compare files. Dr. T.C. Cole in Huntsville, Texas is Langston Goree's, great-greatgrandson. I have not had a chance to speak to him yet. He is a very nice person, he is our family physican and so was his father. I think he knows alot about the Gorees. I am going to call him in the next few days to see if I can meet with him.

Thank you so much.
Nell

Re: Goree/Hayes/Haze

Blister62 — 2012-07-26 02:49:06Z

Hi,
My history ties in with both the Goree and Hyde families in San Jacinto, Houston, and Madison Counties. I'm afraid I don't have slave schedules, but I might have other info of interest and I'd certainly like to add to what I have. Let me know if you'd like to compare files.

Re: Goree/Hayes/Haze

Nell273 — 2012-07-24 21:18:46Z

Hello Paul,
My name is Nell Perry Wiliams. My great grandfather Henry Perry lived with the Gorees in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas on the 1870 census as a domestic servant. His mother supposedly came to Texas with the Gorees. Would love to see any info you have of him living with him. Supposedly his mother wore the last name "Rhodes". Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely
Nell

According to Steve and Jo Ann Moody, Ancestral Voyages webpage (www.ancestralvoyages.com}, Luella McIlvain was also married to Thomas Arthur Calvin. I have not researched this, but I just wonder if this is a valid marriage or not.

Re: Constable John Sprott d. 25 Dec 1910

1981val — 2012-07-11 21:51:10Z

In the San Jacinto County Cemetery Book it is listed as;
Sprott Family Cemetery

Sprott, John F. - b. 10-29-1876; d. 12-25-1910; a. 34

Nothing is stated about a shooting.

Re: Weaver

1981val — 2012-07-11 21:45:05Z

Also, in the Mount Zion Cemetery there is only 1 listing for a Weaver.

Weaver, Mrs. NFN - No dates known; Homemade marker.

Re: Weaver

1981val — 2012-07-11 21:41:55Z

This is taken from the San Jacinto County Cemetery book.

In the Center Hill Cemetery there are 6 listings of Weavers buried there. I believe some of them are what you are looking for.

1. Weaver, Charlie James - b. 5-4-1925; d. 11-16-1944; a. 19; w. Effie Mae Vaughn Weaver; pb. Oakhurst, Texas; f. Sam F. Weaver; m. Edna C. Howell Weaver; ep. Prepare to meet me in heaven.

3. Weaver, Jim - b. 2-19-1884; d. 9-15-1951; a. 67; w. Mary Alice Weaver; pb. Stephen Creek, Texas; f. Frank Weaver; m. Mary Elizabeth Weaver; ep. May he rest in peace.

4. Weaver, Mary Alice - b. 8-15-1887; d. 11-16-1969; a. 83; h. Jim Weaver; pb. Waverly, Texas; f. Josh Strickland; m. Irena Strickland; ep. Faithful to her trust even unto death.

5. Weaver, Sam F. - b. 9-10-1885; d. 1-12-1957; a. 71; w. Edna Weaver; pb. Old Waverly, Texas; f. Frank Weaver; m. Mary E. Shirley Weaver; ep. He was the sunshine of our home.

Hope this helps.

Re: Wrong Informatin on Jonathan Taylor Mizell b.1836, NC

1981val — 2012-07-11 21:20:25Z

I checked the San Jacinto County cemetery book and this is what it shows-

In the Magnolia Cemetery it has a listing for
Johathan T. Mizell - No dates known; 1st Lt. Co. C 1st Regt North Carolina Inf - C.S.A.

Re: Weaver

HL2604 — 2012-07-08 01:21:57Z

No doubt about it! You've got to do some inperson research at the county courthouse. The answers are simply not online! J. R. Jones wed Della Shirley, 6 Jan 1887, in San Jacinto. Deductive reasoning, Della was Mary's sister 'cause her widowed husband sheltered the Weaver brothers in 1900. Unable to find Della and Mary together in Alabama.

hmh005 — 2012-07-07 23:10:53Z

Looking for information on the parents of James Henry Weaver who married Mary Alice Strickland. Their daughter Clara Vera was my g-grandmother. On his death cert it says Frank Weaver and Mary Shirley but I have not found any other thing what so ever on them. I am almost certain they are buried somewhere in Center Hill Cemetery or Mount Zion but I haven't had the time to go out and look since I live in Fort Worth now. The only person I know who had information on the Weaver family was my grandfather's cousin Margie Jeffcoat and she passed away in January. I had tried to ask before a long time ago to see but she was never willing to share anything with anyone and I was always told she had a room full of family history stuff(the weavers were not a very "nice" family sometimes). The only Frank Weaver I ever found was someone incarcerated in Huntsville. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.

Constable John Sprot 1910

cleat1977 — 2012-05-20 12:00:01Z

I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. The Galveston Daily News (1 Jan 1901) reported killings near Oakhurst (San Jacinto Co) that included Dr. POLK, formerly of Saron, and constable of the precinct John SPROT. Can anyone conform this incident, the circumstances, family history and place of burial. The 1910 US census for San Jacinto Co has a John F. SPROST [John F. SPROOT] [John M. SPROCH] , 38, born about 1877 with wife, Jennie, 27, and children Bulah, 7, Lizzie, 5, Junnie Lee, 3, and Clyde, 5/12 mo.

Re: Cemeteries of San Jacinto [JONES]

richey640 — 2012-03-06 15:34:15Z

Thank you ... do you own a copy? I googled it and it's out of print so I'm just asking if you (or anyone) might own a copy.

Also, do you know ... BTPL is Butler Cemetery in Coldspring, San Jacinto? Because I found a listing on Find A Grave ... lists 37 graves ... my JONES people not among these graves. Of course, that can mean that the 37 graves were recorded from the only existing grave stones at the time [looks like 2011] and the book was recorded from earlier [1997] and there might have been more grave stones or even the names taken from some other type of records, or ... who knows ... ??? ... but, any additional information is really appreciated.

Re: Cemeteries of San Jacinto [JONES]

DanFranklin48 — 2012-03-06 11:19:31Z

BTPL is Butler Cemetery

CTHL is Center Hill Cemetery

The book is San Jacinto Couty Texas Cemetery Records. It was published in 1997 by the San Jacinto County Historical Commission.

There are some JONES folk at FSTR and I know that is FOSTER CEMTERY

Re: Mollie Collins/Addie Phillips

KellyHamiltonSill — 2012-02-24 00:07:46Z

Thanks for the reply and the research you have done.
Mollie was not daughter of Warrne Collins and Teletha....most likely some relation but not sure just how now. Her parents were J. D. Collins and Mollie Thackston out of MS.
Addie Phillips was to eventually be Mollie Collins's son in law.

I have him and family 1900/1920/1930 but he is missing 1920...

Amanda died after April 1930 census was taken. So far have not found a DC for her. But she died and is buried Hardin county Tx.
Again thanks.

Re: Mollie Collins/Addie Phillips

HL2604 — 2012-02-23 16:50:25Z

Clueless about Mollie Collins. Based on geography, she could have been the daughter of Warren Collins and Telitha Evaline Valentine? They're found 1870 Hardin-Precinct 4-Image 9, but no proof 17-year old daughter was same person as Mollie in 1910. As for Addie Lee Phillips (18 Feb 1880 - 22 Apr 1953), he's not found in 1910 but registered for WWI Draft in Tyler County. You're not missing much from 1910 'cause he had a nine-year old stepdaughter in 1920. Estimating marriage about 1912/13? Not unusual for person(s) to not be enumerated on susequent census. Even more preplexing is his younger sister's, Mary M. Odom (28 Oct 1884 - 7 Jan 1961), absence from 1900 Census. If that's not enough, try locating death record for their mother, Amanda (nee: Richardson) Phillips-Fee?

Mollie Collins/Addie Phillips

pmolly — 2012-02-23 14:42:11Z

There was a Mollie Collins boarding in the household of James Calton/Colton...49 year old railroad foreman in San Jacinto county Tx, pct 5.
Mollie is listed as 55 and single with no occupation.

Need more info on Mollie, if anyone can help its
appreciated.

Also would like info on a male named Addie L. Phillips born 1880, Tx. Addie worked in the timber industry, but so far have not located him in San Jacinto 1910.
