RE: [email protected] Barbara, Have you read the book, "More S.E. Texas Families" by Madeline Martin, and published by Nortex Press? I discovered this book on a trip to Anahuac Public Library, Anahuac, TX just yesterday!!! It references some of my family members. The names you mention are very, very familiar. If you havn't read this book, go to your library and check if they have a copy. As soon as I got home yesterday, I began to search for this book on-line, to see if I can just buy my own copy of it. So far, no luck, but I've e-mailed a lot of queries and I'm on my way to the post office to mail a few more letters to "used book sellers". I have a 'George Ransom DRAKE', that married Eliza Ann WALTERS (dau. of Lemuel Sylvester WALTERS & Sally L. TURNER). My line is with the 2nd wife of Lemuel, Elizabeth Delilah ISAAKS. These were my ggg-grandparents. I also know that another WALTERS married a DRAKE: Maudie L. WALTERS m. Henry Rodrick DRAKE. Maudie was the dau. of Elijah Monroe WALTERS & Adaline HARVILL. These were my gg-grandparents. If you should need more info, please don't hesitate. Pam --- Walter <[email protected]> wrote: > My daughter and I visited at the Heritage Village > last summer.
