    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BBk.2ACIB/1977 Message Board Post: Sarah Horton married to James Johnson 9/16/1880, Etowah County, AL. They moved to Mexia, TX around 1894-95. They had 6 children (Martha Obera, Harve ???, Ortha F., Ida M., Arthur S., Sarah E.) as far as I can tell. I have seen several posts on this family, but no one lists the oldest child. I have several records on her and they all prove her parents to be James and Sarah. She is not in the 1900 census with her parents since she is already married. Maybe that is why she is overlooked. I am descended from the oldest child Martha Obera. She lived to be nearly 104, so I got the chance to know her. She was married to LaLevel Davis in 1898 in Limestone County, TX. I have been able to locate James and Sarah in the 1900 census. Are they still in Limestone County in 1910 and 1920? Does anyone have information they could share with me on Martha's parents/siblings? Thanks in advance for any help. You can email me direct.
