I went through my mail so quickly this morning and cleaned files. I deleted the person that was asking about Bowman. I was surfing the TX site and found the following address that mentions Bowmans in Cherokee County and I believe it may be the names mentioned. Sorry I didn't keep the email. I hope this helps. http://www.tyler.net/ccgs/CherokeeCountyTowns.htm Here is what it relates to: Wells. Site of James H. and John J. Bowman graves. Brothers served in Texas Revolution 1836, buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in north Wells. James H. Bowman, born 1820 Mississippi, died Texas Feb. 1886, was in Capt. Bailey Hardiman's Co. from Matagorda county. John J. bowman, born July 25, 1807, died March 30, 1890, was in Maj. George Collingsworth's Regt. at Goliad and La Bahia, in Capt. Phillips' Co. in Dimmit County, appointed 1st Lt. Inf. Regt. in Col. James W. Fannin's Regt. Because of illegible handwriting, military service of John J. Bowman not learned until 1984 although relation of the two men was well-known and their graves only few yards apart. Mt. Hope Cemetery of US 69 in Wells. Texas Centennial Commission marker on James H. Bowman's grave. Texas Historical Commission marker on John J. Bowman's grave.

I hope someone in East Texas recognizes some of this little piece of article which I believe is either from the Gilmer Daily Mirror or the Echo, and may even perhaps be from the Gladewater paper. It is an old piece of newspaper which starts out by "Forty Years Ago" Jimmy Lawrence fell five feet down from a bridge near the cotton compress while delivering The Mirror after dark, dislocating his jaw. . . Mr. and Mrs. John Giddings returned to Brenham after visiting here . . . New county officials sworn in were J. M. Seago, sheriff, with Clem C. Hill Chief Deputy; Nat J. Harrison, Tax Collector; Will M. Smith, County Clerk; B. F. Bledsoe, justice of the peace, and W. E. Floyd, constable . . . Maurice Hinson was named deputy tax collector and Monte Belle Woodfin, Chief Deputy County Clerk . . . Mrs. Tom Medlin, 25 died at West Mountain of typhoid fever. If there is anyone out there who recognizes the year and perhaps even the month this was written I sure would like to hear from them. I think if I could identify when some of these people were named to their respective offices then I could identify when my mother's mother, Mrs. Tom Medlin died. I have been unable to find any death information on this lady. Her maiden name was Alma Lee Rains, supposedly born in Mississippi in 1902 or thereabouts and we are not sure when she died as there is no death certificate. Any help is appreciated. Still lookin, Sue Knudsen

Does anyone have a full copy of the households on the 1870 census? If you do, would you check the LAKEY Households for one who has a daughter, Georgia Ann, age about 7? ( may be on census as G.A.) I need to know her parents and siblings. I will really appreciate your help. Thanks Gladys

I have started a list for the civil war reconstruction era please let me know if you have an interest Flora

I just notice I had typed 180 for 1880 Census for the LAKEY FAMILY with daughter Georgia Ann about 17 yrs old. Thanks Gladys
