Thought I would share these 2 great tips ....quoting from Ancestry.com.......always learning new avenues of research. 1) "When I find a potential ancestor in the Social Security Death Index, I will send a letter to the public library in the county in which the ancestor died and request a copy of the obituary. If the obituary is the ancestor I am looking for, then I will request a copy of their Social Security Application. If it is not them, then I have saved myself that $7.00 charge." 2) "We knew the S.S.# of my husband's grandmother, but were unable to find one on her husband who died in 1941. Then I ran across a hospital insurance form listing her Medicare number with "B" after it. This indicates the wife is covered by her spouse's account, so we took a chance, requested his SS-5 with that number and finally were able to learn his mother's maiden name. We received it in the same amount of time it took others we have requested (and saved some money).

Hi, I think I may have replied to you before. It may have been another Aultman checking Aultman tracks through Txerath in Erath County Texas and west. Are you aware of the Aultman- Taylor Tractor company? They started before 1920 and made large tractors with a steam engine appearance from a distance with a metal sun roof. One was droven from Stephenville to Pony Creek, Texas from the railroad in 1919 by the Riggs family. It was used for breaking land, building some county roads, and it ran each grain threshing season from 1919 into the 1960's except for a year or two in the World War 2 labor shortage. It wore out their wooden grain thresher and Walter Hollis's all metal one and I never saw it run over 1/2 throtle. Now for Jesse James, He seems to have had a few former associates in the family business who settled in Erath, Hood, Falls and other Texas counties according to old records constantly coming to light. One Mullins descendant from the Erath County Chalk Mountain Mullins family reports her grandad rode with Jesse. She found records in the Jesse James Museum and other Missouri sources and found one teenage Mullins was hanged . John Crockett of Missouri, Mexico, Erath County and Quannah , Texas used his real name, not an assumed one and was a friend of Jesse. Others in Erath changed their name from Quantrell to a name similar- this group included a high school friend of mine in Stephenville, Texas, so I will not quote it here- others on the Txerath site have reported this possible change. I only heard it this year. I understand some men moved from Jesse James's gang to Quantrell's band and to the Younger Brothers Gangs. The often crossed paths and visited. They had a common cause during the Civil War- Winning- and some were firm believers in the secret order of the Knights of the Golden Circle- a possible giant slave holding empire of the South, Mexico, Yucatan, Central America, and Cuba and the Caribean Islands. Brushy Bill Roberts of Hico, aka Billy the Kid had a dad who rode with some of the group and knew Jesse all his life- his McCarty- Bonney aunt who raised him had moved from Buffalo Gap, Texas, then to northern Oklahoma then New Mexico. His Roberts dad went from the Civil War Confederate Army and joined either the James or Youngers Brothers. Apparently they trained military style and rodeoed together. a friend of mine , a Wiley from Grosebeck, Texas who is a substitute teacher in Waco Schools and a former Houston security guard insists Jesse once lived near Grosebeck, Texas and Mr. Wiley's part Cherokee grandparents knew him. . This would match the J. Frank Dalton of Grandbury- same locations involved. I have been busy collecting Wyly records and adding to them and the Roberts line of one Wyly - Roberts certified Geneaologist has caused me to want to do more research on these connections. My great Grandad Robert Wyly of Ga., Texas and Tulsa, Ok. was in the Civil War and died in Tulsa after I started to school. He had 22 siblings and12 uncles and aunts, so we don't have a family tree- more like a Kudzu vine. If I find sources I will let you know. Try Missouri libraries and county offices. The James brothers had kin in Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and some worked as far north as Minnesota and as far west as Arizona, but I guess you knew that. Take care and happy hunting.

Tonya, what Parkers are you researching. My family came from Russell Co, AL to TX about 1860 & settled in McCulloch Co, TX. This was the family of William David & Frances Parker. However, William David was not listed with his wife and children as being in TX. Perhaps he died enroute. Their last child was born in LA in 1859.

Tonya, I just rented the video 'Frank & Jessie' . Usually these type movies have the correct names of people who rode together. I will take note and let you know what is in it.

Hi, two have on Southern Trails and one has said on Txerath that her grandad was a Mullins friend of Jesse and his friends. If you didn't see it they may have sent it to me personally only, not for all to read, but I did not notice that designation. The book about the Courtney family aka jesse? of Blevins, Falls County, Texas is about 2 years old or less. It has been reviewed in the Texas Coop Power recently. The headstone of "Jesse James or J. Frank Dalton is there for all to see ever since he - or whoever is there, died. I have one Oklahoma cousin preparing a book on the subject, but we will wait and let it speak for itself. A recent article either Texas Coop Power or Waco Tribune Herald was written by former Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr who is on retainer to protect the rights of the heirs of J> Frank Dalton aka Jesse James. He is a native of Hillsboro, Texas if I am not mistaken , where one of Jesse's relatives settled. I will find the article again-at the present I am not trying to prove anything, I am just interested in the rest of the story. Mr. Carr says that Jesse of the branch he represents was the J. Frank Dalton who in later years lived near Grosebeck, Texas , then nearer Houston and someone in his family worked in Galveston , where Jesse spent some time before his death. The retired publisher of the Hico newspaper, Mr. Heffner has done much research and travel with Brushy Bill Roberts (Possibly Billy the Kid) and has found records where he and Jesse james aka J. Frank Dalton attending Texas Parks & Wildlife banquets in Grandbury together. This man, past 80, on one trip to New Mexico to try to claim his promised pardon before he died, would ask Mr. Heffner to stop, then tell him where houses were in Lincoln County, New Mexico. He was right every time and had not visited New Mexico in many years. Billy's dad rode with the james boys and others after the Civil War and a 12 year old boy , William Bonney Roberts visited his dad and the James Brothers taught him riding and shooting tricks. I have a B.S. and M.Ed. in Education and Administration from North Texas State University, Denton, Texas, heavy in history. I see nothing impossible about these claims. We are a gullible generation if we think our generation invented new identities that would check out . I am not sure which is real, but the Missouri story sounds like Janet Reno's first version of Mount Carmel in Waco. The package is too neat . We who lived here and knew about Mount Carmel#1 on Lake Waco when the National Guard fed the group which were past their date for the end of the world and had no food , and heard the stories from involved locals and live mobile units on radio and TV about some of the info now surfacing When I worked in Minnesota a few weeks a U of Minn. Prof from St. Paul had a new book out which questioned Jesse being at the Northfield bank robery and had ample proof to cast a reasonable doubt in court . I did not get the book, but heard his interviews . The National Tombstone Epitath , Cochise County, Arizona, had an article in the 1980's about a private detective or former Marshall, can't remember which, who reported seeing Jesse james and William Bonney have a several hour visit in a n Arizona hotel well after they were both supposedly dead. I grew up surrounded by versions of a story fron my Great Aunt Etta Robinson Moxley about Jesse James hiding a small cache of silver coins between the Pony Creek and Johnsville churches. Her description would have been north of the present Hwy 67, Erath County, Texas. Court records document John Crockett used his real name when he rode with Quantrill and he settled in the Pony Creek, - Pizarro, Texas area. Jesse was acompanied by Mr. Crockett or Mr. Mullins or another former gang member in or near Crockett land. when he buried the silver. People with first hand knowledge were digging for it about the time I started to school and Bonnie & Clyde were sleeping in and/or near the Johnsville \Church. If silver was ever found it was not publicized. One pit near Johnsville would have filled 2 or 3 boxcars- or the dirt from it would. I have read many different reports and feel some confusion may have been loyal gang members claiming to be Jesse so someone would not think to question their real identities and accept their assumed names.

Gwen, These are excellent. Have done genealogy for years, but am always thankful for new sites. Just one suggestion to the others that they probably know. If they forward your message to themselves and space between the "....." and www, it will enable them to just click onto the sites. Thanks again for the suggestions. Marlene

All of us "genealogist" have at one time, had help in our researching from family, friends, libraries, etc. when we first began our quest. My suggestion is to post on-line avenues of research for the "newbies" of this century. "Newbies" this information is not specifically "real facts" but in some cases it can be......YOU HAVE TO RESEARCH and make sure.......DOCUMENT YOUR SOURCES! (All of us can benefit from these sources - we might learn some new ones.) Here are some genealogy search web sites that will keep you busy for a while: If for any reason they will not come up on "www." then try "http:/" MAIN SEARCH ENGINES: ALTA VISTA; LYCOS; WEBCRAWLER; EXCITE; YAHOO; MAGELLAN; INFO SEEK; NORTHERN LIGHT; METACRAWLER; ALL ARE - .com - type in genealogy Here are some excellent web sites: BARREL OF GENEALOGY LINKS.... http://cpcug.org/user/lacombe/mark.html CYNDI'S LIST......www.cyndislist.com ROOTSWEB....www.rootsweb.com - information for specific states, counties, surnames US GEN WEB....www.usgenweb.com.- select the state / county you wish to research and then go into their "ARCHIVES"...there you might find: cemeteries, land records, birth & death records, etc. GEN FORUM.....www.genforum.com - type in surname HANDBOOK OF TEXAS.....www.tsha.utexas.edu LDS (Latter Day Saints-Utah) .....www.familysearch.org FAMILY TREE MAKER....www.familytreemaker.com GENDEX....www.gendex.com - surnames WORLD GEN WEB...www.worldgenweb.com - for overseas NORTH AMERICA FUNERAL HOMES..... www.funeral.com/cemetery/states SWITCHBOARD.......www.switchboard.com - telephone book - white & yellow pages by state - or just enter the surname - it will bring up all of those that have a listed phone number WHO WHERE....www.whowhere.com MAPS OF TEXAS...www.livgenmi.com/yr AMAZING ANCESTRAL HOME PAGE... www.polaris.net/~legend/collect.htm ON-LINE CENSUS MATERIAL..... www.census-online.com/links.htm Have fun!

Hello , there. PLEAS REREAD MY FIRST NOTE- I must have run two paragraphs together or took a curve too fast. I did not mean the Basques were accepted by the Wichita Reservation in Oklahoma- I meant the HUACO INDIANS. pronounced Waco- and Waco was named after them because it includes their historic Indian City near Huaco (Waco) Springs, just off Waco Drive west of the Brazos. The Oak trees they lived under before Columbus still shade the Springs, but much fill work and levelling has been done. One Huaco Indian made ceremonial and Educational visits back to Waco this year , either from Chickasha or Anadarko, Oklahoma. Can't remember which. The full blood Huacos can be counted on your fingers. Until well after 1950, some Huacos came once a year to cut sacred long skinny cedar poles on the Brazos north of Waco and loaded them on railroad flat cars for the trip to the Wichita reservation in Oklahoma for building ceremonial Tipis. (Tee-Pees) The First Baptist Church of Bellmead (Between Waco and Mount Carmel #2 near Axtell)) (also adjoining Texas State Technical College on the old james Conally Air Base) has an older and smaller chapel used by some Baylor students and local business people called the Buffalo River Indian Baptist Church. Have also heard some about Baylor University sponsoring a Native American Baptist fellowship. These students from the Leon Jawarski law school are among the Nation's sharpest- and I did not attend school there, as State Universities were more affordable. The new sports indoor complex has been used in years past for annual open Indian Pow Wows with ceremonies and individual Indian church booths. The Alabama- Coshutas opf Texas were by far the most colorful and lively. Most American tribes were represented. Now I think I know one origin of round dances like the COTTON EYED JOE- but we have spped the movements up and lost the deeper meanings of friendship and acceptance their welcome and friendship dances expressed. It only took 1/64 Indian blood- sometimes less- to claim Arkansas- Oklahoma- Missouri Cherokee Nation land, If you can prove your lineage your College is free' I went to Minnesota for a few weeks work and met one lady in the Tourist Information bureau in Missouri who was doing Geneaology for pay to help those with Indian blood to get scholarships. Go down to your local library and look for your family names in the Tribal Indian Rolls- you may be surprised. Note the % blood recognized by the U.S. Bureau of Indian affairs. Their national office and library or records, at least are in Fort Worth, Texas. Take care, Charles Wyly On Fri, 10 Sep 1999 16:38:09 -0500 KARLA KT SHAHAN <[email protected]> writes: >Whoooaaa!
