James M Hinson b.1853 in Stanley Co. NC married Elizabeth J. Hudson in 1871 in NC. Three daughters: Eva Samantha born 1872, Minnie Viletti born 1875, and Adell born 1883. The family moved to Leon Co. Texas by 1890. Eva S. married to Duncan H. Campbell in 1893. Minnie V. married to Bud Ainsworth in 1896, and Adell married to John H. Brown in 1900. Jim Hinson and wife Betty are listed on the 1900 census for Leon Co. Daughter Dell and husband John Brown live next door, as does John Browns brother and his wife Mamie. Minnie and Bud Ainsworth were in Limestone Co. with one daughter, Eva Inez. Eva Campbell lived in Centerville (Leon Co.) with Duncan Campbells mother, ( Virginia Patrick Parker). They had one son at the time named Robert Leo Campbell. They were all share croppers. I have located Eva's descendents ( I am one), and Minnie's descendents. I am desperately looking for Dell's descendents. I know the Browns moved to Houston in the 1940s and 50s, because I once visited them when I was a young girl. One of my cousins believes that atleast part of the family may still live in the area of Limestone or Grosebeck? Any help appreciated in finding traces of my family.

I am researching the sharecropper families: John A. Frazier and Cora Young of Navarro, TX married abt. 1890. Jess E. Stevens and Lillie A. Brown of Limestone Co. TX married in 1914.

Dear List Members: Every year around this time, I post a call for an annual "roll call." Since so many families get new computers around the holidays and, because the period between December 15 and January 1 usually witnesses the largest growth of lists, this seems the perfect time to do it. So, between now and January 1, please feel free to post your "roll call" post. What is a roll call post? A roll call post is one in which you list the surnames you are researching and brief information about the lines you are seeking information on as they relate to the geographic nature of the list. A sample roll call message should look like this: "Researching the family of John DOE, b. 1837 Sagamon County, Ill, d. December 12, 1900, Rains County, TX. m. Susan JONES, December 1, 1860, Titus County, TX. Allied surnames include JOHNSON, SMITH, JONES, PETERS, ANDREWS." You may also wish to include any other pertinent information such as birtdates, places of burial, siblings, children, other places lived, etc. Essentially, include anything that may be helpful to other researchers to determine if they are related to your line. Also, if you are looking for any specific information like the burial location of someone, you may wish to include that. When posting the message, PLEASE phrase the subject as follows: "ROLL CALL: Researching DOE, JONES & SMITH" or something along those lines. Finally, please do not respond to this message! To post your roll call, please send the message to the list. The address for the list is "listname-l@rootsweb.com" where "listname" is the name of the list. Happy Holidays, Vince Leibowitz List Administrator

Larry Hunt at berryman19@aol.com Researching Garret E Boom/Boone b 1810 Curaçao, Dutch Antilles m Nancy Ann Fletcher ca 1834 near Hornsby Bend, se of present day Austin, TX. They setteled in the La Grange, Fayette Co, TX area. Nancy may have been a Flesher from VA. Also researching the Williamson Co, TX area for Thompson W Dean b Mar 1848 MO, m Elizabeth Catherine Hughes ca 1870. Catherines parents are James F Hughes b 1827 SC and Catherine Elizabeth ? b 1828 SC. This is probably more than is needed, but details are important in genealogy. Hopefully someone will see something that looks familiar in this. Later, Larry Hunt.

James M. Hinson came from NC abt. 1888 and lived in Leon Co. Texas as a sharecropper. His youngest daughter and her husband lived with them on the 1900 census. They were John and Adella Brwon. John's brother Henry and his wife, Mamie also lived with them. James Himson died in 1902 and is burried in New Salem Cemetery in Leon Co. His wife Elizabeth Hinson moved to Grosebeck, in Limestone Co. to live with another daughter, Minnie Hinson Ainsworth. She and her husband, Bud were also sharecroppers. I would love to find the descendents of the Browns and Ainsworths. James Hinson's other daughter was Eva Samantha Hinson Campbell, my g grandmother. I know her descendents and some of Minnie Ainsworths, but have not been able to find any of Adella Browns. Although, I do have an old photo, circa 1920s of Adella and one of her daughters named Helen, who lived in Houston. Karen Moore Kerr __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Greetings, List: It is time once again for our twice-a-year Roll Call. As most of you know who have been on the list a while, Roll Calls are conducted once between Christmas and the new year and once after Memorial Day. To participate in the roll call, send a message to the list which meets the following guidelines: 1.) Includes in the subject line the words ROLL CALL and the surname such as: "Roll Call: DOE" 2.) Include in the message a brief synopsis of the information you have on the family as well as any additional information you are seeking. 3.) Include your EMAIL ADDRESS; replies to roll call postings should be done off-list. 4.) Include the URL of your genealogy webpage, if you have one. Please keep your messages short, but include any pertinent information that would help another reader determine whether or not they have information which would pertain to your line. Also, remember that these messages are ARCHIVED through rootsweb, so even if you don't find the information you are looking for now, someone doing a search may find your message later and be able to assist you. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. The roll call will run from May 26 until June 2, 2003 at midnight, EST. Please don't post roll call messages after that time. Also, please remember that we do a roll call twice a year and that only the listmanager can call a roll call. This is because, as new members join the group, if each one posted a roll call, that would take up a great deal of the lists' time. Thanks, Vince Leibowitz

I am researching the J.A. Frazier family of Navarro County TX They were sharecroppers in the Richland area and maybe other parts of the country. Brothers Issac and John A. Frazier came to Navarro in the late 1880's from Catahoula Parish LA. John A. married Cora Young in Navarro County in the early 1890's. There may have been other Frazier family members already living in the area. They had a sister Mary Frazier Casey living in McLennan County as well. I am also researching the Henry Lee Crain- Emma Higginbotham families of Navarro County and surrounding area. I am not sure if they were sharecroppers or not but did some farming in the area as well. Thank you very much for any info. Contact: Pat Cantrell of Jewett Cantrell marpactx@yahoo.com

James M. Hinson/Henson came from Stanley Co. NC in the late 1880s or 1890. His wife was Elizabeth J. Hudson and his three daughters were: Eva Samantha, Minnie Villeti, and Adella. They came to Leon Co., Centerville. Eva married Duncan Campbell there in 1893, Minnie married Bud Ainsworth from Limestone Co., and Adella married John Brown from Al. On the 1900 census they were share croppers near Guys store and Centerville. Adella and John Brown lived with her parents, James and Elizabeth Hinson. John's brother, Henry Brown and his wife Mammie also lived on the farm with them. Adella and John Brown had one child named Marshall who was one month old. They later had several children(including one named Mary Helen) and moved to the Houston area. James M. Hinson died in 1902 and is burried in the New Salem cemetery near Centerville. This was the year before deaths were recorded. His wife moved to Grosebeck to live with daughter Minnie Ainsworth, they were also share croppers. Minnie's daughter married a Lynch and that family still lives in east texas. Adellas family moved back to the Palestine, Texas area, but we can not locate them, Eva Campbell,(my g grandmother's family lived in Palestine until my dad's generation. Any help or suggestions appreciated in finding cousins. Karen Moore Kerr __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Greetings, List Members: As you know, for the past several years, roll calls have been initiated the list during June and December. Our December roll call is usually the largest because so many people with new computers or new Internet software make their way on to the lists. As part of the roll-call each member is invited (not required) to post a message with a brief synopsis of the ancestors they are researching, including relevant dates, places, etc. to the list. An example would be as follows: Seeking information on the John Jay DOE family. John Jay DOE, born 12/12/1810, Richmond, VA, died 01/01/1901, Austin, Texas Married ( on 04/04/1844 in Long Island, NY) Elizabeth Sue SMITH, born 01/09/1817, Richmond, VA, death date & place unknown (or something along those lines.) Please remember to CHANGE THE SUBJECT of the message when you reply. The subject should read something like: John & Myra Winston DOE Family. (Accurate subjects also help when the messages are archived by rootsweb.com) The roll call will end at midnight on January 1, 2003. All list members are asked to respond to the roll call (should they desire) prior to that time. Roll Calls are conducted twice a year and only on the instruction of the list administrator. This is so the list won't get flooded for roll call requests every time someone new joins the list. Best Wishes & Happy Holidays, Vince Leibowitz List Moderator

Dear List: Following is a report from my family history file. It includes about everything I know about my paternal grandfather, McEwen or Mack Belcher. Anyone with any information, or suggestions regarding sources, please email me or post on the list. 1. McEwen2 Belcher (?1) was born 11 Mar 1858 in Tyler, Texas, (Smith County) and died 21 Apr 1909 in Oklahoma . He married Ethel Candace Hoyle 16 Jul 1891, daughter of William Hoyle and Margaret Southerland. She was born 12 Sep 1875 in Osark, Arkansas, and died 11 Mar1942 in Frisco, Oklahoma .Burial: Frisco Cemetery, Oklahoma Family history reported that he was born April 21, 1858 and died in 1909. The tomb stone shows b. 3-11-1858 and d. 4-21-1909. However, he is listed on the 1910 census as age 59, which would make his birthdate 1851, and, if the census is correct, not dead in 1909. Graces' birth certificate shows him to be age 33 in 1893 when she was born which would make him born about 1860. I used dates on tomb stone. If it was installed in the year of his death, year should be right. However, it could have been added later. Marriage Notes for McEwen Belcher and Ethel Hoyle: In the marriages index, Mack Belcher married Ethel C. Hoyl/Hoil on 16 July 1891 "at the residence of W.F. Hoyl". The marriage was performed by C. Mc. Birchfield, MG {Minister of the Gospel}. 1910 Pontotoc County Census (Stonewall Township) shows his name as Mack, occupation as Farmer and his father born in Georgia and his mother in Alabama. Lists children as Grace, Blanche L, Margaret E, Alice C, Roy C. This census also shows them living two houses away from William and Margaret Hoyl (parents of Ethel Candace Hoyle). Found a possible reference to Mack in the Oklahoma Territory Census Index for 1890 (done June, 1890): Belcher, Mack; born TX: Cleveland Co: Page 565. McEwen and Ethel were in Norman (Cleveland County) when Grace Mae was born in 1893. The following land parcels were located in Cleveland County: From the Land Patents index: Belcher, Mack Book 1, page 256, patent 160 Belcher, Mrs. Sallie 1, 305, 153 (have no idea who she is) Hoyl, William F. 2, 500, 2137 (Father of Ethel) Hoyle, Nicholas 2, 142, 452 (Unknown but probably related) 1891 Tax Rolls Hoyl, J.C.
