Roxann, I did know we were related in some way to the Mathis Family. In Gibson, or Madison will possibly be the graves on Nicholas Nevill, Soloman Nevill, Dodson Nevill and David Weakley Nevill. Do you have any of this information? I have linages on Nicholas Children, James, Mary & John. I have had a major problem restoring my files and merging. Currently I am starting over. I will print down the first couple of pages & E-Mail. In Madison County there is a Watt Road that runs into Roane Road and then into Medina if I remember correctly, I will copy a map and send this information to you, at your request. Cade Cementery is located off insterstate 45 between Dallas & Houston, the nearest town is Streetman. Take the exit West for Wortham it is about a mile off the interstate on the left. Petty's Chapel Church & Cementary is east of Corsicana off interstate 45 to Roane, Tx. It is about a mile off the interstate on the right. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gleasons To: Randy L.
