Roll Call: Van Zandt and Kaufman Counties: Emerine TIFFANY Wills came to Van Zandt Co or Kaufman Co in late 1850s. Her husband died in VA. My question is why she came with all these children. Susan Vermillion WILLS (1826-1880) married John G MOORE. Mary Bradwell WILLS (1848-1897) married William Dawson SCOGIN Martha Hance WILLS (1846-1920) married Joseph Graves BOOTH in Tyrell in 1863. My grandparents Gustavos Adolphus WILLS married Agnes ANDREWS Henry Clay WILLS (died as a child) Lavett WILLS married John WHITEFORD. Quite a few are buried in Terrell (Kaufman) in one cemetery plot. Where are the descendents of all these people? I know one of Mary and all of Martha but none of the others. Just think someone might have more of the history of the family.

Van Zandt Co. WILLS, SCOGIN, MOORE, BOOTH

Jefferson County for BERNHARDT Jefferson County for INMAN Jefferson County for GORIN I know most of these families in Port Arthur but want to get back to BERNHARDT in IL and INMAN and GORIN in KY. If anyone has information on these I would appreciate it. What list is Van Zandt Co on? I really need help there. Martha Bernhardt marthab@viptx.net

Seeking, as ever, any links to William (Henry?) Fuller and wife Ida, and their children Gail, Willie Mae (my line), Gussie, Jesse, Bert and Joe. Lived in Orange, TX in 1900, still there as of 1909. No other trades of William and Ida (Ida was said to be half-Cherokee). Seeking also info on my Tanner line, also 1900 (through 1910)...Keron Kesia (Kieran Keziah?) Tanner who wed Mary Elillilian Bishop and had one son Louis (that we know of). Keron was the son of John Benjamin Tanner and Narcissus Priscilla Kirkpatrick. After his divorce from Mary, he just sort of does a slow fade from east Texas. Any sightings of him elsewhere? Would appreciate any links or info. Thanks, Melody

I am researching the Calvin and Susan (Bardin) Jernigan family of Shelby County. Calvin and Susan came to Texas in 1885 from Alabama. Their children were Dave, Harriet, John Daniel Woodard (Bob), Mattie, Elisha (Bud), susan, Fern (my grandfather), Antoinette (Nette), and Griff. Thank you, KMosley

Hi, Everybody, I'm really SWAMPED -- sorry things have been so SLOW. So -- let's have a roll call but -- PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE Put the Name of the County or counties and the major surname(s) in the SUBJECT instead or in addition to ROLL CALL so that busy folks can get a summary. You still really need to read everything just in case but -- if you are in a hurry, the county name and surname(s) will show you your priorities. Thanks very much to everyone in advance.

Margaret, Much interested in the COKER items you mention, and would love to see the info. Good chance John Coker (San Jacinto article) is cousin of Joseph Coker, who left GA for TX after the Civl War. Also looking for anything to do with any LAIRD/LARD in Southeast Texas counties (Jasper, Wood, Shelby, etc.) They began showing up there in the late 1830s from GA and MS. Cheers, Russell Laird Mt.

Don't believe I have any Golden cousins that go that far back. Below is an article that I found in regard to Everett S. Ritter's pension in Republic of TX estate. It shows a dau. married a Golden and Susan J. Golden is her dau. Trying to locate any desc. that would have info about Everett or his desc. "REPUBLIC OF TEXAS PENSION APPLICATION ABSTRACTS" BY THE AUSTIN GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTIN, TX. PAGE 282: EVERETT S. (X) RITTER, Panola Co., 20 Mar. 1871, approved 19 Sep. 1874. Age 60.

Thomas and King (X) Latham, Panola Co., affirmed service. A. W. DeBerry, in Austin, said that he had known the applicant for 20 years (Sep. 1874) and up till the time of his death. W. M. McCord and N. D. (X) Coborn, Rains Co., said that the applicant died in Van Zandt Co. on 4 Dec. 1873. King (X) Latham and Zacariah T.

RootsLady's still hanging around. Don't seem to have much extra time to do personal research with 8 Texas counties (HARDIN, JEFFERSON, NEWTON, ORANGE, SABINE, SAN AUGUSTINE, SABINE) and I just offered to take on EARLY Co., GA + 4 mailing lists and SETGHS. I really do think a "ROLL CALL" comes in handy at least once a month. So get ready all you folks that are on TXTYLER-L and SABINE-L. Got a really cute saying submitted to the "OUTHOUSE" (genealogy humor) today. GENEALOGIST PRAYER God grant me the serenity to accept the ancestors I cannot find, the courage to find the ones I can, and the wisdom to document thoroughly.
