I am trying to locate someone with information on Dan BRYAN and Josephine BRYAN. I believe that they lived in Hillsboro in the early part of 1900s. It is possible that their parents James R. BRYAN and Martha NORWOOD BRYAN may have lived in that area as well. I believe that they are the children of James R. BRYAN and Martha NORWOOD BRYAN. Probably both were born in Jackson or Dekalb Co., Alabama or in a bordering Georgia county, like Dade Co. GA. Their parents were married in 1869 so they were probably born before 1875. I am related to their 1/2 brother, William S. BRYAN. Am anxious to hear from anyone in the Hillsboro, Texas area as well for cemetery records. Jackie Morgan

I'm looking for information on a Tom Jones. We thought originally that it was James Jones, but after seeing a copy of my ggrandmothers application for social security, it says Tom as her father. Her mother was an indian named Martha. Supposedly Tom killed Martha and left her in a cabin. They had a little girl named Redy. She was left at a mining camp. This was probably around 1900 give or take a couple of years. Were there mining camps in this area then? I would be glad to get any little bit of information. Thanks, Debra Westervelt

Searching for any information available on James Monroe BAXTER, according to CSA records he was born 1838 in Jackson Co., Alabama. As a child and young man he lived in Scott County, Arkansas, later went to Crawford County, AR where he served with a CSA unit during the Civil War.

His parents might have been Reuben Wayne and Sophia Baxter, from Tennessee according to 1850 census for Scott County. Thanks for any help. Grace Baxter Constantine gconstan@worldpath.net

I am searching for the parents of James Berry Roberts born 12 Jan 1843. He married Nancy Warren born 15 April 1848. Both Nancy and James were born in Alabama, probably Jackson County. I have been unable to prove James parents, but believe he may be the the son of John Roberts. John Roberts and wife Elizabeth appear on the 1850 census Jackson County with a son Berry age 9.

Any information on James parents or siblings would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris
