OOPS Sorry folks, I thought that was a private note from Jean and I just hit reply. Gladys

Goodness Jean, Some medicine can sure kill you. The pain patches I was using that was soooooo expensive but stopped my pain, got to where they were making me violently ill, through up every day, I lost 9 pounds in 9 days, and I had no weight to louse, it gave me real bad sweats, but then I got to where I was smothering and on the side effects it said that was very life threaten, so I got off of them and all that went away. But now I hurt. Glad your trip went well, we went to the casino and I won $300. Don lost $100, so we still did OK. Gladys

Thanks, Gladys. I joined the TXANDERS site recently. Don't you wish they would put those people under the jail? I have MailWasher on my computer, and I receive very little spam mail. If you are interested in it, it is free. Awhile back I had to cancel hotmail because everything I got on it was spam. I really didn't need it anyway, but Joan thought I did. We had a great trip to Arkansas, but I was sick the last two days. My doctor had changed my arthritis medicine to Bextra, and I had some very severe allergic reactions to it. Didn't connect my symptoms to it for about 5 days, and by that time was about to have a stroke. My blood pressure was so high when I went to the doctor, he nearly had a fit. I am feeling better now, but still dizzy. Jean

Maybe this will stop some of the Genealogy SPAM that we have all received. Gladys SPECIAL EDITION: Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter I have written a number of times about a genealogy-related scam that operates under a variety of names, including GenSeekers.com, GenealogyGiants.com and more. In the July 7 edition of the newsletter, I identified the owner/operator of this "business" as 21-year-old Elias Abodeely of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Since then, I have had conversations with several people in Iowa about this "business." I can now report that earlier today the Cedar Rapids police department arrested Elias Abodeely for his activities with GenSeekers.com and the other Web sites he operates. KWWL television in Iowa is now reporting that Cedar Rapids Police have made an arrest after a two year Internet crime investigation. The crimes involved genealogy websites. Today police arrested Elias Abodeely II of Cedar Rapids.. He faces four charges: 1st degree theft, identity theft, money laundering, and ongoing criminal conduct. Police say they expect to file charges against more suspects. Details are still developing. Keep an eye on the newsletter Discussion Board at http://www.eogn.com for updates. I will also be writing about this in the next newsletter. You can read my earlier article at http://www.eogn.com/archives/news0327.htm. - Dick Eastman

Looking for any information on Eddie Lee (female) who married James Ira Douthit in Anderson County, Texas some time between 1898 and 1912. Would like to find her parents names, etc. Eddie was several years older than James and I suspect that she may have been married before. He was the son of Eliza Catherine Ford and David Fortenberry Douthit. Thanks, Jean

I have a question to anyone who can answer it. I have checked the TX death indexes for a couple of people who died in early 1900's. They are not listed. Could they be listed in Anderson County under the death index? Tara

Would love to hear your speaker. My great grandfather, David S. Higginbotham came to Houston County in the late 1830s, but he was from a family who crossed the mountains with George Washington to survey the area and stayed along the Ohio River. I need to search for them.

EARLY MIGRATION ROUTES TO BE FOCUS OF GENEALOGY MEETING The East Texas Genealogical Society and the Anderson County Genealogical Society will present a special program Saturday, August 2, at 1:30 pm, in Palestine at the Public Library, 1101 Cedar Street. The meeting is free and anyone interested in family research is invited to attend. Pre-registration is not required. The Appalachian Mountains and hostile Indians were the primary barriers that blocked migration and influenced the establishment of early wagon roads. By locating these migration routes and reversing the paths, researchers can determine the most likely original location of their ancestors. Guest speaker, Don Raney, will use maps to locate primary overland migration routes used by pioneers from colonial settlements in New England, Virginia and South Carolina between 1700 and 1815. Mr. Raney is a sixth generation Texan who has been an active genealogist for over twenty-five years. He currently teaches Beginner & Intermediate Genealogy courses at Richland College. He is a past Director of the Dallas Genealogy Society and GENTECH and a life member of the San Jacinto Descendants. He has been a speaker at numerous conferences and society meetings thought out the state. For more information, call Jane at 903-894-6027 or Scott at 903-592-6576 ([email protected]).

Large Libraries sometimes have old Texas Gazetteers that you can look at and copy.The Texas Room (I think that is correct) at the downtown Houston Public Library is where I learned to love the Gazetteers. I haven't been there in several years because the parking is very expensive and almost none existent. I believe that they had five1885 and 1915, but I might be wrong. They are fun books for Texas researchers of that period. Each community is listed and described, giving the names of the postmaster and other official. I was born 1934 in Butler, Freestone County, TX. There were close to 300 people in Butler in 1885. It was great fun to go through the various gazetteers after Butler folk voted that they did not want the rail road to go through Butler. The folks in Oakwood who had less than 75 people in 1875 felt differently. by 19l5 Butler had 50 persons or families and Oakwood had over 200. They list business, the owners & employee's and other workers and so many interesting things. I am falling asleep at the computer' and hope I havehelped in some way. Happy hunting,

Has anyone heard of this cafe? My great grandfather owned it in the early 1900's but not much is known about it. Does anyone know where I might find information on it?

Thank you Michael! I will check the other counties. Not being familiar with the area, didn't know the "good" possibilities. Yes, I do think she was the Mosley daughter shown in the 1850 census, but I am having a heck of a time proving it! I am going on the "assumption" that James Peters wife was his sister and Margaret his mother. I found a Margaret Hardin as head of household in the 1840 Bedford County, TN census along with a daughter of the correct age to have been Medlina (Malinda?). I am thinking this could be she. Have been perusing a "lot of Hardin/en/ing material trying to "find a husband" for Margaret, but that hasn't developed as of yet! I know that older (even not so old i.e. 1935) death records are at a premium in Texas! But we keep hoping! Thanks again! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.

Patsy: Have you checked for a marriage license in Henderson County, and the other surrounding counties. In looking at the 1850 census, Samuel D. Harden was living with the James Peters family, suppose his sister and her husband as there was also a Margaret Harden, age 59, living there as well. That family, based on those around it, were in the extreme NW end of the county, and it was much easier to get to Athens than to Palestine. Also a few families before the Peters family was a John Mosley with daughter Catharine, age 16, born TN. Though the age is off a bit, still she had a sister named Frances, so that might be a lead, since Catherine Harden had a daughter named Frances. It is very unlikely, almost like Ivory Soap, i.e., 99 & 44/100ths% certain, that you will find a Death Record for her in the courthouse in Palestine or anywhere else for that matter from that time period. Good luck, but I would definitely check Henderson County, Navarro County and Freestone County, since they all converged just about where the family was living in 1850.

At your convenience, a look-up in the "death index" that I understand is available at the courthouse, for Catherine HARDIN/EN/ING DOB ca 1832 DOD Bet. 1860-1865 This will be greatly appreciated! This is really a "brickwall". This lady would be my great-great grandmother and I would certainly like to determine her maiden name. Thanks!
