It was read to Allen Cox 2/16/78, and later a transcript was mailed to me probably in 1984. Rebecca Ann Delaney Rebecca Ann Delaney, born to Nancy and Joseph Delaney, married Colonel Laramore 7/1/1849 in Washington Co.,Ark. They were listed in the 1850 census there with his mother, Anna(Shannon) DePriest. Colonel's father, Samuel Laramore, had died in Washington Co., before 1830. Colonel was born in 1826 in Crawford or Washington County, Ark, per their family bible. Rebecca was born 9/17/1826. She died 12/24/1904. She and Colonel were buried in the Laramore Cemetery south of Cleburne, Texas at an area formerly called Sand Flat. Anna DePriest was also buried there. As a matter of interest, Anna is listed in the 1860 census in James Delaney's houshold. Colonel Laramore and his mother and family, with Rebecca's brother, James Delaney, the Billingsleys and Shannons removed to Johnson County, Texas, arriving 12/26/1854. All the above from Allen Cox (in Ft. Worth, Tx., 1984)
