List Readers: I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and had a good Christmas. I have returned home and have a mail box full of catching up to do, including mail that must be answered. So hang in there, I am back at my post For you this evening are a few new things that I posted today. Darla Marbut reminded me that Hickam Prairie wasn't called Hickman Prairie. That is one of those things that I know but for some reason always want to type it wrong. So, great thanks, Darla, for helping out on that one. Just so that you know who Jacob Hickam was - he married Elizabeth or Betsy Easley and she was a daughter of William Franklin and Sarah (Graham) Easley. Sarah Graham was related to the Collins family who married into the Haddock family. Also she had a sister named Mary who married John L. Wilson. I am wondering if there is a relationship between him and the John H. Wilson buried in Haddock Cemetery near Purdy. Do we have any Wilson researchers who are on top of these John Wilson families? http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/EagleRock/index.htm Our thanks to Ted Courdin who sent us a mill photo for Corsicana. He didn't mention who is in the photo so maybe some of you will help us out on that part of it. It looks like one man has a beard and there are two men in the photo. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/corsicana/index.htm For Roaring River I posted several new photos and post cards, both of which are from my files. I took the photos a few days ago and collected the postcards at antique and junk shops while I was out running around. The one post card with the red bud tree has written on the back "From Grandpa Easley - and nothing more. I wasn't going to post it but since it had the Easley name on it I thought that I would. If any of you want - I will send you a copy of the back so you can see the writing. When I bought it I thought maybe it could have been from Darla's grandpa. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/roaringriver/index.htm Donna Cooper

Also I posted about 15 or so new photos on the Washburn page, too. I took these the other day of present day Washburn. Since we have the old photo you can compare and see what little is really left of town. I think that only two of the orginial buildings are left. Most of the new ones I added are listed under a section called Washburn and then there was one under the name of Berryhill that I also posted. It is of the big pine on the old Berryhill place, which is now over 100 years old. There were two of them but has only been one for about 40 years or so now. This is the place where the Berryhill Nursey was located. The Westmoreland Mill was south about a mile from here. I wish we had some photos of it. I don't remember ever seeing a photo of that mill. I wonder if any of you have ever seen one or know of someone who might have a photo of it? http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/Washburn/index.htm Donna Cooper -------Original Message------- From: mobarry@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, December 28, 2007 6:14:41 PM To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOBARRY] New List Readers: I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and had a good Christmas.
