Haven't checked in for a while so thought I would see if I can find any more "cousins" out there who might be able to help me. Houston and Trinity Counties/Still looking for parents of William C. Campbell b. 1811 Ky/Tenn-lived in Miss. and came to Texas about 1870. Died 1874 and is buried in Kenard, Texas. His wife and mother of his children, Temperancer Mercer, died in Attala County, Miss. before William and children came to Texas (Anyone know her parents?...my guess is Toliver Mercer thru a 1st wife if there was one.)William's second wife was Matilda Drucilla McComb Griggs. Grimes and Madison Counties: I'm searching for the parents of my gr gr gr gr grandmother, Mary G. Chapman, b. 1816 La. She married James B. Franklin and they were living in Simpson Co., Mississippi in 1840. In 1850 they were in Texas(first in Tyler county, I believe) and settled finally in Grimes County where they are now buried. I have reason to suspect that possibly Silas Chapman and Elizabeth Rainwater could be her parents. Does anyone have any information on the Chapmans? I'm interested in other Chapmans also since my husband descends from John Chapman and Fannie Franklin. I have discovered conflict in the parents of John Chapman. One family has John Chapman and ____Hanna or West as the mother. Another family has a Joseph Chapman as his father. So far I have not been able to verify which Chapman is the father of John Chapman. Also, does anyone have any knowledge of Indian heritage with the Chapmans. Thanks for any information you may be able to give me. Other surnames: Brazos County, Utsey, Lawless, Gilpin, Dansby, etc! Grimes and Madison: Taylor, McClendon, Smoot,Colson,etc. Thanks, Pat (Taylor)Campbell MercyC@aol.com
