Hi Nettye, Thanks for your reply, even when it is a busy time for you. It is going to get that way for me before I know it. I have Jury Duty July 16 for 2 weeks and then in a few days after that ends, a family reunion at our house. That won't be huge though---probably 8, as it is just my siblings and spouses and our daughter. It surely looks like the Stella May Lott you found in Hill Co. TX might be the daughter of Timothy and Dollie Marsh. I don't have them on a census after 1880. I do have their marriage date and it was from Kaufman Co. TX, July 13, 1893. So a baby born a year later would be about right. I know I had some other Lott relatives in Hill Co. TX for a time, but not Timothy's immediate family. Probably a cousin. Timothy and Dollie are buried in Parker Co. TX. That is where some of the Lotts finally settled. My grandparents are buried there and I was born there. When you get time, I would be interested to learn if W. G. Marsh is the same as one mentioned in your article. Are you related to the Marsh family? Both Dollie and her sister married Lott brothers---both brothers of my grandmother. I don't expect you to answer right away. Spending time with family is far more important.

OOOPS. I was carless and didn't notice I sent this to the whole list. Please excuse my "senior moment". Dot

I have a request for Marsh..My Great Aunt Cora Underwood ?(not sure who she married) had a daughter named Shiley and she married a Marsh..They lived in Montgomery Co. Shirley would be about 54 yrs. old maybe.... Thank You, Lola

Hi Dot Here's the Fort Graham cemetery site in Whitney Tx, in which so many from Dickson County are buried. I had forgotten that it was on-line. http://www.interment.net/data/us/tx/hill/fort graham.htm Maybe you'll find more of your Marshes and Lotts. Nettye
