Hi, There were several Strickland, Lowry- Lowery- and Carr families in Erath County, Texas. Mother had Strickland childhood friends in the Selden Community. One was a Baptist pastor and one was a school teacher in Erath County. Carrs who lived in Selden and some in Carleton, Hamilton County Both counties have much on these families in the Rootsweb archives. In my family George Wyly married Effie Carr and moved to Friona, Texas then to a Roswell Apple Orchard and store, then to Virginia. One Carr owned the land near West which had thePanther Cave or Mart Cole Cave. Mr. Cole was a fund raiser for Baylor Universithy and his grandad Carr had a stagecoach station and a rock quarry, which furnished rock for many Hillsboro, West, Abbott and other buildings with brick fronts. Mr. Carr's brother was a Judge Carr of El Paso who backed Judge Roy Bean, "Law west of the Pecos". Now, former Texas Attorney General from Hillsboro, Texas is on retainer and part of the family who claims the heritage of Jesse James AKA J. Frank Dalton, Bartender in Grandbury, Texas and was in Waco less than 10 years agowith Texas Rangers observing as 2 James descendants- one from Australia, tried torecover a safe Jesse had shipped to Waco, then came and buried it in the Quicksand mire of the Brazos River Bottoms, There was not much money expected but many legal documents , which could prove his true identity The steel vault was visible to Sonar and other test equipment, but seemed to move each time a Diesel engine for back hoes and drag lines were cranked. The search was finally discontinued. Digging seemed to cause the safe to move. On that side of the river Mr. Roebling, before building the Brooklyn Bridge, had dug 90 feet in Jelly like mud without hitting rock. Across the river, the rock is about 12 inches deep. Finally, they brought 12 inch cedar logs in from Bosque County and criss- cross stacked them for piling, built the East Side suspension columns and bridge on this floating log raft, then pushed the murky muck back over the logs, sealing them from Air decay. The bridge is now closed to cars, but open to walkers and bikers.It opened when the Texas Trail, wrongly called the Chisolm Trail was at the height of cattle drives. It is in the lower tip end of the Cameron Park, on the Balconies Fault Line. It is the largest single City park in the U.s. , including Central Park in New York. Stop and see our bridge and outstanding zoo and museums. and hiking and biking trails and Lake Waco and Lake Brazos, where Kansas State Rowing teams practice before all the ice is gone there. It was a gift of the William Cameron family of Cameron Mills and William Cameron lumber yards to the city. Take care, Charles A.

Hi, One Kirk of the African persuasion is mayor of Dallas, Texas Another is sheriff of Bell County, Texas. There were also some Kirks reported in Erath County, Texas. Check rootsweb archives for TxErath. In South Carolina I had Copeland- Hipp great grandparents from Clinton, S.C. The Copeland Reunions were held on alternate years in Clinton, Greeneville, and Greer, S.C. They married and moved to Arkansas . The West family of Central Texas might be worth your checking. West is on I-35 north of Waco in McLennan County. It is now predominately a Czechoslovakian- Polish- German town with seversal Scotch Irish early settlers, many with some Indian blood. West has a Unity of the Brethern (Moravian) Church (Some common beliefs with Baptist and with modern Mennonites, but not communal). , 2 Baptist, a large Catholic Church, Church of Christ, Methodist, Evangelical Church, and another or two. Most Czech and Slovak were immigrating from 1900 , to the present day. Some who settled in Mr. West.s town were imported by TP Coal and Oil to Texas Thurber, Texas Coal mines with 14 or more shafts and 1 at Newcastle, Texas. and were naturalized in Stephenville, Erath County, Texas. The old Thurber Ghost town is on I-20. It died when some young John L. Lewis helped kill it by organizing another strike for $1.00 per day when oil was struck in nearby Desdemona and Ranger- the home of Premier Ranger oil Co. TPCoal and Oil and Brickyard workers that the trains to California no longer needed their coal and they were to leave their com[pany owned houses in 30 days. On one Previous strike it got so wild during a strike that a company of Texas Rangers were sent to stop violence and protect life and property. This town had separate Priests and Catholic Churches for Italians and Irish. Czechs attended the Italian services. Some estimates say there were 20,000 or more residents wh=ith 9,000 miners and a few hundred Brick Kiln workers. 6000 or more were peddlers, salesmen , con artists, or Bar workers. The Horshoe bar in Mingus was the largest between Fort Worth and El Paso. Some similar mines were in Oklahoma east of OKC. I think Mr. West was a Railroad employee- developer or Tickert agent. Take care, Charles A.

Good afternoon, I just read Carole's story and thoroughly enjoyed it!! I just found out yesterday, my ggggrandfather, Rev. Andrew Jackson West, was a wagon maker here in Calhoun Co. in 1860. Had other things to do today so I wasn't able to get more information. I know he was from Spartanburg, SC and may have been in GA for a short while because the AL 1860 census has his daughter Sally as being born in GA about 1858. His oldest daughter, born about 1856 has that she was born in SC. His parents may have been William and Margaret White West. I have not done this research, just told this by a cousin. He also, may have had a brother named John Pinckney West that was also a minister and moved to AL, also. I am told the rest of the family stayed in SC. Hopefully, in the near future, I will have a great story to share. Until then, I will continue to enjoy the ones I get now from all of you. Keitha Kirk Calhoun Co., AL

Hi, My name is Carole. I've been on this list a long time now. Mostly, lately, however, I have not had time to read my mail. I had a death in the family --- my Uncle Bob. His terminal cancer laid him low for the last few months of his life and took my attention. We had a couple of good visits before he could no longer talk (which happened shortly before his death). During one of the visits, we joked together about him asking his dead father (my grandfather) what his real name was, when he finally got to see him again. I'm now waiting for the message. <g> Yes, we have a weird sense of humor in my family. I have a BA in Anthropology and an MA in Archeology from the University of California, Los Angeles (1976 and 1979). I worked in public archaeology for a time after getting out of school, but couldn't support my children on the money. I retired from working about five or six years ago due to medical problems. So, one would think I'd have more time. <g> But, I had five daughters and for the last eight years, they have been giving birth to eight children. So, that keeps me kind of busy, too. One is going to spare me and probably not have any children. Her husband and her keep changing their minds about it. Another one of my daughters, though, may break the two to a couple rule that the rest of them have set for themselves. So, I may end up with ten grandchildren after all. I have three grandsons and five granddaughters, to this point. A lot of you have said you enjoy history. I hated history in school and only got interested in it, somewhat, when I visited the South on a business trip. Visiting some of the museums, I got an idea of what went on with the regular people during the Civil War. That interested me, though wars and dates of wars never had. Since doing genealogy, I have gotten very interested in History, though. It has become useful. It helps me find my ancestors, and the history I'm learning through genealogy is about people and not wars. I am still having trouble with the dates, though. I envy hearing some of the stories of your families. I would love to be able to fill in my family tree with stories about the people on it. I have only gotten to know by their names and statistics to this point. I tell people that I know where the bodies are buried. I don't, though, not all of them. I can't find out where they put my grandfather, C.B. Strickland's ashes after they cremated him. I checked with the hospital where he died and was cremated, but they don't keep records back that far. Darn! One of the people I really would like to talk to from my family tree is my grandfather, John Bernard Calhoun from Iowa. We think he changed his name and lied about where he came from. We don't really know why, though. We don't believe it was because he murdered three brothers, as he always said. We think it was because he was hiding something else, though we aren't sure what could be worse than three murders. I'd like to ask him for the truth. The other person I'd like to talk to is my great-great-grandmother Sarah R. Lowry, daughter of Cindarilla Breedlove and Thomas Lowry. She married a man named William Alan Mullicane. According to family lore, "the Mullicane married an Indian woman." So, I'd like to ask Sarah what Native American group she belonged to and if both of her parents were Cherokee, like we believe. I'd also like to ask her how I could prove it. The only wagons that I can talk about my family having traveled in were the ones that the Stricklands built in Nebraska at an uncle's dairy farm in which they came to California from their home in Springfield, Missouri. That was in the 1930s and they were pulled by brand new Ford cars, not oxen or horses, and came on highways, not trails. I had the pleasure of meeting my great-grandmother, Sarah Frances Mullicane Strickland before she died (in her late nineties). She chewed tobacco and spit it into a coffee can all the way across the room (or so it seemed to my sister and me aged 6 and 4 something). My Uncle Guy and Uncle Claud played the fiddle and a one stringed base while we were there, and I enjoyed the whole experience a whole lot. That's probably why I still remember it though I was not yet five years old. My Uncle Bob told me about a time when Uncle Guy and Uncle Claude had a gun fight over a ham that they couldn't decide how to divide up that they'd won at the Los Angeles County Fair. They had both been drinking. Claude shot Guy and accidentally got Guy's wife Agnes in the arm, too. My older sister remembers going to see them when they were both recovering from the wounds, laying in bed in the big old house in Los Angeles where the entire family (at least three generations) was living at the time. I believe Claude had already gone back home to Missouri. I always was told that Claude left because of the shooting. I have since found out that he came back to California for a visit after that. So, I don't believe they had any hard feelings about the shooting. They were quite a group. They were, I believe, where the idea for the Beverly Hillbillies came from. My grandmother, Claude and Guy's sister, worked for a movie producer, Stanley Kramer, for some time while she lived in Los Angeles, so it is possible that he told someone about them and the idea of them eventually got turned into a TV show. Researching on my father's side: Calhoun, Strickland, Mullicane, Lowry, Breedlove, Carr, Parr, etc. etc. UK>VA>IL>MO>CA I enjoy this list and plan on staying on it no matter what junk you guys post.

I just joined this list and wanted to posts my interests and hopefully find others with the same. My Kierce family originated from Orangeburg, South Carolina beginning with my ggg-grandfather Wilson J. Kierce who was born in 1810. According to family history Wilson's parents were John and Rebecka Kierce from County Clare, Ireland. A book was published by his son Rev. George W. Kierce before his death in 1918 with accounts of his family history and his life as a Baptist Missionary in Alabama and Florida. He was also elected Circuit Clerk in Andalusia, Covington County, Alabama in 1860. Wilson Kierce and 4 of his sons Berrian, Henry, Daniel and George were all Baptist ministers. They also all served in the Civil War for the C.S.A. in the 42nd Alabama Infantry. They were captured at the Siege in Vicksburg. George Kierce was a Lieutenant in Company E also known as Kierce's Company. They belonged to a group of Captain Brady's Company of Alabama Volunteers from the 2nd Alabama Regiment. The reason why I am posting this is because I have found the same migration pattern in other related families from Census Records and feel that this may have been part of a larger group of families that stayed together for possible religious reasons or for some other unknown reasons. 1786 William Kierse owned 100 Acres in Orangeburg, South Carolina 1790 Census George Kierce listed in Orangeburgh District, South Carolina 1820 Census Godfrey Kierce listed in Lexington County, South Carolina 1829 Wilson Kierce married Bedy Jane Curl in Emmanuel Co, Georgia 1830 Census Wilson Kierce Emmanuel County, Georgia 1840 Census Wilson Kierce Emmanuel County, Georgia 1843 Daniel Kierce was born in Baker County, Georgia 1850 Census Wilson Kierce Baker County, Georgia 1855 Moved to Elba in Coffee County, Alabama 1860 Census Wilson Kierce Coffee County, Alabama 1862 Henry, George and Daniel Kierce enlisted in the CSA in the 42nd Alabama Infantry 1866 Census Wilson Kierce Covington County, Alabama 1870 Census George Kierce Santa Rosa County, Florida 1867 Henry Kierce married Honor Hinote in Santa Rosa Co,Florida 1868 Moses Kierce born in Escambia County, Florida 1890 Moses Kierce married Florida Mims in Escambia Co.,Alabama 1897 Marshall Kierce was born in Conecuh Co., Alabama 1909 Mims Kierce was born in Escambia Co, Florida 1936 Mims Kierce married Mary Lehman in Bexar Co., Texas Surnames: Kierce, Cobb, Cockroft, Curl, Dixon, Hinote, Lehman, Mims, Savell, Terry Family of Wilson J.

My great grandfather told my father that when he and his family migrated to Brown County on the Texas frontier. He said that remembered crossing the Trinity River in 1877 at a place called Eagle Ford, just west of the Dallas community. That was the low water crossing of the Trinity River that was then located about where the old Rock Island Railroad tracks cross the Trinity River today. That is just south of Texas Stadium on US-183. I can visualize the route they took. The old wagon road from the Bonham Texas area to Dallas went southwest and intersected old Preston Road that ran from Austin Texas to Coffee's Trading Post on the Red River. The wagon road to the west ran from Dallas through Ft.Worth, Granbury, Stephenville,Comanche and Brownwood Texas. The Sante Fe Railroad road ended in Temple Texas about that time in the century and did not get to Brownwood until 1885. The comunities along the wagon road are about 15 to 20 miles apart on the wagon roads. That is about a day's travel by wagon. The Indian problem ended in the northern part of Texas in the 1870s although my great grandfather "Uncle Sam" Wyatt (on my mother's side of the family) mentioned to his children and grandchildren that he saw a young calf at the creek on his property that was killed with a Indian spear and was skinned and partially dressed out. Some renagade groups of Indians did not want to stay on the reservations in Oklahoma. They still went on hunting and foraging expeditions in North Texas up to about 1876.

Hi, some enterred through Port of New Orleans and walked the Natchez Trace northeast. , and other port towns on the Mississippi. Also, some may have stopped in Caribean plantations before enterring the Continental U.S. I think it was a Cleveland, Coffee, or Graves which didso. Been a while since I read it. Some also enterred the U.S. through Flrida and other seaports on the Gulf of Mexico. Others enterred through Mexico and were married in Mayesville and Fort Smith, Ark. A Telles who did so was an ancestor of Mattie Roberts Somerville, a Wyly descendant of West Monroe , La. My Fleming Ancestor , Patrick, was naturalized in Calloway County, Missouri.

In 1830, your ancestor may have entered the U.S. thru S. Carolina. Kate

I thought this may be of interest to the list...gives a nifty look at how people advertized to attract settlers to the western territories. I need to thank Gloria Davis for transcribing so many of these newspapers in her possession. Melissa list-admin *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* One Thousand Farmers Wanted To settle on one thousand choice farms on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in Dakota. These lands are located in twenty different counties, and are to be had now at prices ranging from $7, to $15. per acre; a few months hence they will be doubled. For a home or for investment no luckier chance in the West has ever been offered. Now is the time to invest. No better farming land exists anywhere. No greater results can be obtained anywhere. Schools and churches abound everywhere. Nearby markets for all farm products. South and North Dakota are the banner diversified farming and stock raising States of the West.

Hi, Larry. I went to the archives http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl and entered Southern-Trails and checked 1998. A quick look helped me remember that the series was entitled "Migration TN to TX" and were numbered up to 5, the last one. The first is not numbered, but is File Name 11. Hope this will help and that you will enjoy the diary extracts. Sara You quoted and wrote: <snipped> > Sometime back I sent her extract to Southern Trails in a series.
