This is an interesting newspaper article below: Gay Mathis Newspaper Abstracts Overton Sharpshooter, Rusk County, Texas Submitted by: John Dulin, Henderson, Texas October 13,1887 Death: There has resided in this city, Bonham, Fannin Co., a gentleman known as Col. T.C. Bean, a bachelor, who amassed a princely fortune. Bean died a few weeks ago and no one knew his heirs. A gentleman from Mississippi named J.W. Saunders has shown up at Bonham saying he is the only brother of Col. Bean, whose real name was Saunders. (Paper is torn here and part is missing.) Apparently in 1835, in Obion Co., when aged 24 or 25, T.C. Bean killed a chain carrier named Cruthfield in an argument over not accomplishing his work. T.C. took refuge on Bean Island in the Mississippi River. The brother, J.W. was then an engineer on a riverboat and took T.C. to Gains Landing in Arkansas, returning to Old Commerce. From Gaines Landing, T.C. fled to Camden, Arkansas, then Fayetteville and on to Fannin County. T.C. and J.W. met in St Louis in 1854 or 1855, and again in Austin, Tx. in 1886, and in Bonham in 1884. T.C. agreed to give half of his estate, at his death, to J.W. with the oth! er half to his negroe servants, but if J.W. died first, then to J.W.'s children. J.W. had a daughter, then living in Lamar Co., Tx. The father of T.C. and J.W. went to N.C. circa 1882 to collect some money, and was never heard from again. Dr. J.J. McBride said that he will swear to the identity of Tom Bean, stating that he (Bean) is Saunders and that his (Dr. McBride's) wife was a sister of Col. Bean. Capt. F.J. Gates, who it is asserted, will testify that Col. Bean told this story to him, which is now being recited by Saunders. (p3 c1)

Hi there everyone - I am looking for information on a Nellie Beatrice McManus, she was my grandmother's mother. My grandmother says that Nellie was born in Union City, in Obion County. She was born on 22 Dec 1890 and died in 1923 in St. Louis, MO. She married Luther Edmund Reaves - either in Obion or Tipton Counties (her parents were married in Tipton, George McManus & Sarah Joy, and at least my grandmother was born in Tipton). So if anyone has any information or would not mind getting me a marriage certificate, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! :-) vnhsnh@yahoo.com Thanks!!!

I have an old photograph, quite dim now, that was probably made around 1910-15. It is of a large group of people standing by the side of a house, probably at a reunion of some sort. On the back is written "the Watkins, and beneath it, Bennetts and Coveys. The Watkins named are probably the family of James and Mary Jones Watkins since Mary Watkins was my grandmother's aunt. In working on our family tree, I have found no Bennetts or Coveys so they were probably connected to the Watkins side of the family or may have been connected through the Watkins children's marriages. And they may have simply been neighbors. This would have been in District 5, probably in the area of Glady Hollow. The picture is quite faded but some few of the faces are very clear. There are over 40 people in the group including 14 or 15 children. Does anyone recognize the family names and connections? Dotti Ferguson
