I am looking for Smiths in that area, too; my great-great aunt, LuElla DeWitz, daughter of Robert DeWitz and Cynthia Coons DeWitz, born 1900 in Appleby, Nacogdoches Co, was living with her sister, Mattie Louise DeWitz Riley and her husband, Carter Richard Riley, in the 1920s. LuElla supposedly married a Smith, and died in childbirth near Woodlake. Can anyone help me find this family?

I am looking for Holly PAGE. He was born in 1818 in North Carolina. Came to Texas around 1840. Married Jemima TOMLINSON (b @ 1819 GA) in Nacogdoches Co., TX on Oct. 2, 1842. They had four children, all born in Titus Co., TX: (1) Benazah Allan (could have been Benjamin N., I have seen both names) and (2) Susan R.,(married Hampton SHAVER 2-15-1865) both born in 1843 (twins),(3) Nancy T. born in 1845 (married Coleman McMANUS 5-10-1866)and (4) Thomas Franklin born June 6, 1849. Holly remarried to a Susan Adelaid PATTON @1851 and was living in Murchison, Henderson Co. TX by 1861. He married Sarah E. LAWRENCE 4-23-1874. I am especially interested in finding out the names of Jemima's parents, the exact date of her birth, and when she died. I think she died around 1850-1851. The 1850 Census shows her to be the wife of Holly Page. Where did she die and where is she buried. I am also looking for the exact date of birth of Holly. He died in Jan. 1885 and is buried at Red Hill Cemetery in Henderson Co. Not sure if it is located at Murchison or Athens. Also what happened to the children of Jemima and Holly? Thomas Franklin was my great grandfather.
