Dale, Just found your reunion message on CRAWFORD-D. As you know I probably won't be able to attend, but thought you'd enjoy knowing one of my G-Grandfather's son settled in Shelby County, TX. Willis b 1925 SC, was there with his family in 1880. Evidently, his son Edgar 1861, must have marr & stayed there. Edgar was listed as 19 years of age in 1880. That is the only time I saw every member of that family listed together. My dau finally got me a census copy from Orlando, FL--only place in state with census for other states. Too far for most to go, takes over 5 hrs from here. Orlando is the home of "Mickey Mouse" and traffic. No one usually chooses to go there casually. What we need is Buck Rogers' "Twentieth Century" back packs to move us over to land--like space men working outside capsule. Buck Rogers was around in "Big Little Books" when I was young & reading--cica 1930. Didn't mean to write my life story, but there it is anyway. I have printout of a 1900 census, Shelby Co, TX--noted Pct 5, ED 90. If you're ever in the lib, would love a census photocopy of this. And maybe you could check his children in 1910 Soundex for me--time permitting. I see here Edgar dob is listed May 1860, and he was 39 in 1900. Wife, Mollie b 1872, 27, TX; father b MS, mother b AL Children: Sam, b Oct 1893, 16? TX , d Feb 1980 (penciled in) Tenahaw, TX Dollie Mae, b Nov 1895 TX Had in h/h: Alice PATRICK, Employee b 1879 TX Domestic Carl Frowell, b 1857, Boarder--Occupation Peddler chickens Maybe some of the TX CRAWFORDs might know of them. Sure would like to find one of their offspring today. Any help would be appreciated. Know you'll be busy with reunion & there's no hurry but thought someone attending might have info or live in that area. They're descendants of that John in VA/SC or both. Together we may solve the riddle. Better searching for us both, Winkie
