    3. My g grandmother was Margaret (Maggie) Thornhill Allison. She had a sister, Ann. Ann was born 1849. They family came to TX from AR. Ann married a Beebe and she lived in Valley Mills, Bosque County, TX. Valley Mills is very near the Bosque and McLennan County line. Here is what I have on her. Ann or Lucy Ann or LeAnn - her name was Ann on census records but some letters she wrote indicate maybe LeAnn (Le) and perhaps Lucy Ann.... not sure. The Thornhill family was in Washington County, Mountain Township (1850) and West Fork Twp (1860) AR census. Ann the daughter of James and Leishia Hunter Thornhill. They migrated to TX, thru Tarrant County TX and to Bosque/McLennan County TX. By 1870 they are in TX so Ann would have been old enough to marry somewhere along the way. I do not know Mr. Beebe's first name. May 3, 1875 she writes letters (I believe from Bosque County) as Le A Beebe to Turner family in Tarrant County TX. In 1876 there is a fragment of a letter that I believe is hers and she says "married a month Orork (I think it is Oroark). There may be two children attached to Ann, Rhoda and Sallie. Don't know if these are Beebe or Oroark children. There is a Lucy Ann Oroark who died in Erath County, TX., 2-4-1924. The birth date of this person is the same year as Ann's birth. Ann was the oldest sister. Margaret and Mary Thornhill were twins, Ann's younger sisters. Margaret married George Sutton Allison. Mary married ??, she died in child birth and the child's name was William Clay. So I assume husband, ? Clay. Again Bosque/McLennan County TX. Wild post I know.... anyone recognize anyone??
