He was very much alive on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census of Bell Co., TX. I have his death as 14 Feb 1897. > 4.

(The information on Minnie is somewhat speculative; I am > still looking for verification.) Her Texas State Death Certificate Number is 001155. Since it is over 75 years old, you should be able to get a copy from the Ellis Co., clerk for just $1. > If anyone out there sees an error in this information or has something > to add, please post it. I don't ever see enough posting on the Texas > Breedloves. Terry, did I ever send you information on William Frank's ancestry through Robert Henry Breedlove & Mary Evans, Beverly Breedlove & Fannie Bohannon, John Breedlove & Margaret Vawter, Thomas Breedlove & Sarah Broaddus, and finally Charles Breedlove & Mary Parr? Have now completed abstracting all of the Breedlove names from the Texas State Death Index into a database file that I have cross matched to the SSDI. Also the Texas State Birth Index through about 1960. These State indexes are very incomplete as they only listed those that actually had a birth or death certificate on file, while I know of many, many more that none were ever filed for. Some people have two birth certificates, one filed at birth with perhaps their name or "Infant of (father), and another one that they filed as delayed later in life when they needed a record. Tom King
