You're the greatest! What's your yellow cat's name - you should have known my Charlie!! Please, by all means post it on the list. There are too many people on this list related to TUBBS and BARRETTS not to!! So the book I've been hearing about all this time was written by Harold Mullenax? I have his raw data from some years ago. That's where most of this stuff I'm responding to you guys with is coming out of! When was the book published, and is Harold still alive and in Tulsa, and his wife Helen? Karen

I am in Webster Parish, near Lake Bistineau. Think the idea of the "Union Reunion" is a great one!

Mary Margaret, I have heard this book mentioned more than once, but have never been able to get my hands on a copy. Do you know how? Karen

Berry, I've got the following: Emma Laura MABRY (d/o Alfred Joel MABRY & Nancy Ella BARRETT) m. Sidney Franklin MOSS probably in Union Parish. Sidney Franklin was b. 23 Nov 1892 in Bellwood LA and died 1944 in Noble, Sabine Pa, LA. His parents were Ben L. MOSS, b. 26 Dec 1867 in Sugartown LA and Mary Jane SPARKS b. 14 Nov 1877 in Bellwood LA. Informants were Janet MOSS and Wayne BARRETT. Some of their descendants went to Shreveport LA and some to Tyler TX. I know it's not a connection, but it gives you a few places to look. Karen

Oops! Had to do just one more. Pretend it's after midnite, ok? Carla, The James Russell Coplen (Copeland) that Pearl married was b. 5 Aug 1888 and d. 15 Nov 1958. they had 2 children: Russell Ellender Coplen, b. 10 Jul 1914, d. 26 Jan 1942; and Gloria Yvonne, b. 14 Mar 1922, m. Russell J. Stephens. And that's the sum total of my data on that family. Karen

I promise, guys, this is my last post tonite!! Berry, I have HEARDS (I think everybody in UP has Heards), but mine are not very complete, and I don't have an Isabella. Most of the Heards I have are buried at Oak Grove Cemetery. That might give you a direction to check. Good Luck. Karen

Carla, As far as I know at this point in time, they lived in Union Parish. Don't know if they stayed there! This is fun isn't it? Karen

Laura, Did you read Arelia Breed's obit? The Wayne Barrett listed as a pall bearer is probably the Union Co AR high school principal I used to correspond with 15 or so years ago. He is the one who gave me the info I did have on the Barretts. You related? Karen

Frances, The following was posted to the list earlier by Sue Lynn, and I know I saw a Dison obit in the Sep or Oct 1998 files. You may want to check it out: "Since we are a neighboring parish and many are listed in the Monroe News-Star Obituaries I wanted everyone to be aware of the daily obituaries listed at the site below. If there is a long obituary that you would like listed that has appeared in the paid for obits, please let me know within a few days of the death and I will pull the paper and connect the obit. I am not able to type in all of the long obituaries so I only enter those who request it. If there is a picture I will scan it and put it with the long obituary also. -- *******SueLynn Sandifer, Ouachita Parish Coordinator for LAGenWeb******* Ouachita Parish Genealogy Page http://www.bayou.com/~suelynn/ouachita.html " Karen

My cat's name is Morris (of course!) and he thinks he owns the PC and just loans it out to me. Actually, I think he's drawn to the light of the monitor. The other cats try to join in sometime, but this is definitely Morris' territory!! OK, here goes - John Brown Tubb family: John Brown Tubb b: Abt 1822 in Jackson County, AL, d: 21 Dec 1861 in Union Parish, LA +Elizabeth Ellen Tubb, b: 17 Dec 1828 in Alabama, d: 08 Jun 1887 in Bernice, Union Parish, LA Nancy Tubb, b: Abt 1853 +William Copelin George Copelin Elizabeth Copelin Frederick Copelin Mary E.

Tubb III, b: Dec 1899 in TX +Addie Taliaferro Veda Tubb, b: Aft 1900 Frances Tubb, b: Abt 1859 +Joseph Paulk Some of this info is from personal research, some shared by the granddaughter of Ernest Tubb, and some by a Paulk cousin. I'll invite the cousins to join in the list. Addie Mae

Louis, Could this lady be Arelia "Shorty" Breed? Gina just posted her obit, and I got a copy, which lists her son as living in the area. Maybe someone could contact him. I think someone, maybe Randy DeCuir, I'm not sure, told me her son helped her with her genealogy so I can't imagine him throwing it away. Can anybody answer this one? Addie Mae? Karen

Addie Mae, Arelia passed away Aug 29 of this year, and Gina has the obit. Gina, I can pass this on to Addie Mae if you are busy. Karen

Are y'all getting tired of me turning out to be EVERYbody's cousin, yet?!? This is pretty cool for me, y'know, I grew up as an only child. Carla, Are your Ellenders any relation to Pearl Ellender, d/o Issac and Nancy Ellender, who married James Russell Coplen (Copeland), son of Thomas Henry Dawson "Cap" Copeland and Laura Elizabeth Tatum? Karen

What where/are your parents names? Gina

Thanks a lot Karen . My grand father was JOHN ELLIOT MOSS. His step daughter lives today in Tyler Texas. So I know that there is at least one there. Again thank a lot.

Frances, I'm sorry I do not have any information on where Mary RAINWATER is buried. However I do know that her parents where Allen RAINWATER and Nancy LAMBERT. Gina

Oh, I like that "Union Reunion" - let's see that list of items to be handled - I'm ready to volunteer!! I have some experience in database design and maintenance - maybe I could put some of that to use? Addie Mae

I am in Altus, Oklahoma. Where the heck is that, you say? It is a little bitty old patch in the very southwest corner of Oklahoma between the main fork and the north fork of the Red River, over which Texas and Oklahoma fought a court battle about 100 yrs ago. Depending on your point of view, Texas either lost or won. At any rate we became part of Oklahoma. Karen

Great idea!! I'm in Houston, Texas. My great-grandparents, David Franklin Tubb and Lula Paulk, moved from Union Parish to Miller County, Arkansas. (The Coker, Paulk, and Pilgreen families also moved to Miller County.) I still have Tubbs and Coker relatives in Miller County - lost contact with the Paulks. Regarding Arelia: Thanks to everyone for the info and to Gina for sending the obit on Arelia. In a letter I received from Arelia dated March 28, 1997, she said that "I am sorting and refiling the old Civil suits. . ." From the tone of her letters and the amount of information she shared, she must have had quite a bit of information gathered. She wrote about people in the past as if she were writing about someone living today. She had also mentioned a book by Harold Mullemeux (sp?) of Oklahoma, who was related to the Tubb family and had done extension work on that line. She had meant to copy this book for me when she felt better. I'm sure we could locate a copy somehow. It seems she also mentioned her son having an interest in genealogy. I have a yellow tomcat helping me type and dig through papers - reckon he's the reincarnation of an ancestor? :) Louis - regarding Tabor/Tubb families: I knew about William Tabor and Susannah Tubb - wondering if you knew how the families made it to Union parish together? Karen - I can send my info on John Brown Tubb, Jr. and Anna Lee Barrett directly to you if you'd like - or post it here if others are interested. Did I miss anything?
