Thank you, Jo, for the information on Lillie's family - it is helping to fill in some of my "unknowns". Lillie was correct in stating that Deborah Eaton was the wife of Dennis Granville Langley. Deborah was born December 14, 1849 in Arkansas and died July 7, 1927 in Stone Co., MO. They were married August 29, 1872 in Stone Co., MO. Deborah and Dennis Granville Langley are both buried in Anderson Cemetery, 3 miles south of Hurley, Stone Co., MO. Deborah was the daughter of William Seigle & Martha Jane (Thompson) Eaton who are also buried in Anderson Cemetery. Martha Jane was previously married to a William Spears.

If you are up to some interesting (though lengthy) reading, try "Cherokee Trail Dairies, Vol 1 & 2", by Jack & Pat Fletcher. These good folks ( a Ph.D & MA) have spent years tracing the Cherokee trails to the end. I has maps, pictures, and quotes from many sources. It is printed by The Caxton Printers, Ltd. Caldwell, Idaho. Library of Congress 99-072591. It is a well researched book and I consider myself lucky to have an autographed copy. Syd Carr, Sequim, Wa.

Hello, Lillie's father was Tom Langley, and his father was D. Granville Langley.......I believe the D. is for Dennis Granville Langley but he went by Granville. My connection to Lillie is through her marriage to Wade Jackson. Wade's mother Martha Turner Jackson was my great-grandaunt. I don't know anything else about the Langleys beyond D. Granville Langley. I did recently see in one of Lillie's books that D. Granville's wife was Deborah Eaton. Perhaps some of this info will help in your search. Jo Descendants of D. Granville Langley 1 D.

My warmest thanks to all of those responding to my question regarding Lillie Jackson. I will give her a call at the OMRHCC in Crane this coming Thursday and if all goes well I will correspond with her via snail mail. I do hope she is well (and that she has all her data with her). For anyone interested: The family bio Lillie Jackson wrote in the "History of Stone County Missouri" she stated that James Langley was married to Luvisa Hodges. My research leads me to believe that James actual name was "John" and that he married Lavica Proctor. The Proctors, Hodges, and Langleys seem to have multiple connections with each other dating back to Tennessee. Lavica had a sister, Elizabeth Ann Proctor that married a George Hodges(son of Welcome Hodges). Welcome's second marriage was to another sister of Lavica, named Mary Ann Proctor. I also have Mary Jane Langley (dau of Lavica) married to an Amos Hodges (son of Welcome?)

Howdy from Colorado, Can anyone of you fine MOSTONE-Listers tell me how I might get in contact with Lillie Jackson. Lillie submitted a family biography regarding the "James Langley" family in the "History of Stone County Missouri" book published by the Stone County Historical Society. I believe that she may presently be living in Stone County. I have been working on this Langley line and would love to correspond with her or anyone else with an interest in the Proctor, Hodges, and Langley families. Hope to visit someday!
