One more thing. I upgraded my Family Tree program to 2009 version (boy, is it different) and I got Ancestry.com for 14 days free. I really am finding more information with this, so think I will keep it for at least one year. I found Nancy Clarissa Whiteside Roden on the 1900 Texas census (she died in 1907) and she is living with her son Jim Roden (James Armstrong Roden) at Petty, TX. Also, tracking other people's Roden line on Ancestry, I found that the name may have been spelled Wrouten (or something like that --I always knew that name had been changed, but I thought it probably started out with Rho...). ----- Original Message ----- From: James Williams DDS To: Pat Galloway Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:22 PM Subject: Re: DAR application Hey Pat I hope this email finds you well. That is great that you have sent in for your DAR. I dont know all that the process involves but I know that it is quite extensive. Could you send me a copy of Grandmother Issac's Obit. with the Marriage dates that is really a great find. Again congradulations on at least your application for DAR. I'm so glade you are still finding more Info.. Sincerely Jim P.S. looking for the 1930 census right now.

I think Mary is doing really well for such a major surgery. She said she was beginning to have more energy. I told her about my DAR application and the problems I had with it. If it is approved, I will be a member of the Mary Tyler chapter in Tyler. And I will send you copies of the proofs I sent in just in case you ever want to join the Sons of the American Revolution. One reason I wanted to do this, is now I can use their records to help me do some more research. I know several men in my genealogy group are members of the SAR. I sent 30+ pages and I could not locate Grandmother Isaacs marriage to John Hardin Isaacs (I sent letters & emails to 18 counties), but I used the 1930 census that listed her as his wife and my mother as his stepdaughter. After the applic had been mailed, Mom located grandmother's obituary which listed both husbands - and I could have used that. It gave a specific date for the second marriage, Feb. 17, 1930. I couldn't believe it. I think whoever married them - supposedly in Borden County, TX forgot to turn the license in to the County Clerk. Hello to Tap. Love, Pat
