I was looking for Nathan A. Ramsey. His daughter and son are buried there in unmarked graves. Nathan is suppose to have a stone. It was so over grown at the time that I could not get far. Plus my daughter was a toddler at the time and we were worried about snakes. Mr. Wegmet was with me at the time. I told him that I would get in touch with a scout troop to come in and help clean up. I don't know if someone ever did. Nathan Asbury Ramsey is my Great Great Great Grandfather's son- John Sanford Ramsey. John Sanford Ramsey is buried in Freeman-Dabbs Cemetery.

Do you have family in this cemetery or were you just preserving history by taking the pictures? If it is family, then I'm hoping you will have some information about the stones. If not, maybe someone else will. You can send them as an attachment. Thanks again, Beverly On 8/23/06, Ginger Davis <davisg01@airmail.net> wrote: > They were enclosed by a small fenced area.

They were enclosed by a small fenced area. But I did not take a picture of the entrance. I did take pictures of the few fieldstones that was used as headstones. No markings just stones.

Note: Because of air conditioning problems at the Smith County Historical Society building we have moved our seminar 1 block south to the Tyler Public Library at the Taylor Auditorium. Our thanks to the Library for helping us out at the last minute. The schedule will remain the same. If you have any questions, please contact me. -Scott TREVIA WOOSTER BEVERLY FEATURED SPEAKER AT ETGS SEMINAR The East Texas Genealogical Society will conduct an all-day seminar with Trevia Wooster Beverly as our featured speaker on Saturday, September 9th, at the Tyler Public Library, Taylor Auditorium, 201 South College, Tyler, Texas 75702, (903) 593-7323, www.tylerlibrary.com. Ms. Beverly is a professional genealogist, amateur historian, cemetery preservationist, speaker and workshop leader, writer, publisher and book reviewer. She is well known as an outstanding speaker and we are pleased that he will be conducting the following sessions during our seminar: Gateway to History: Tennessee Research; Getting Your Family Research into Print; Special Texas Collections; and Research in the Clayton Library. The topic "Gateway to History: Tennessee Research" will tell how Tennessee stood on the western frontier of the new nation in the late 18th century. Divided into three distinct geographical areas, people still tend to say that they are from a specific area: East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee or West Tennessee. Its nickname of The Volunteer State reflects the readiness with which ordinary citizens rallied to the call to arms. The gun - the Bible - themselves, have set their way. Be they the Scotch-Irish or the tri-racial Melungeons, the search for Tennessee family is an adventure. In the topic "Getting Your Family Research into Print" we can start with a framework and build on it from all sides, and come up with a truly beautiful picture of our family and the role they played in building the future. Self-publish or Publish-on-Demand, a full-fledged book, family newsletters, vignettes, compilation of charts and records - the field is wide open - and you can show off your research skill, your artistic nature, and your love of family! In the "Special Texas Collections" topic, Ms. Beverly shows that they are many and varied collections but will concentrate on three: The Béxar Archives, the Nacogdoches Archives, and the R. B. Black Collection. Texas has existed as a part of the U.S. for over 160 years, but the archival legacy extends back over twice that number of years. All too often we pigeonhole a group of records without realizing their vastness in family and territory. While we think of these as "Texas Collections" but they encompass "the Americans" and the foreign born, many who came to Texas and many who did not. And in the final topic, Ms. Beverly will show us how to "Research in the Clayton Library" Clayton is one of the nation's premier genealogical collections. One of the 'top five' genealogical collections in the U.S., this 'jewel in the crown' of the Houston Public Library system has materials from every state, most foreign countries, and has many special collections, as well as the most complete set of census records outside the National Archives' Regional Branch in Fort Worth. This session will give you the basic tools to make your visit more successful, and take you into all the 'nooks & crannies' of this research facility. Ms. Beverly's current active memberships include the Association of Professional Genealogists, Genealogical Speaker's Guild, Association for Gravestone Studies, Save Texas Cemeteries and many others. She is a native of Harris County, born and reared in the community of Wooster, which was founded by her great-grandfather. Her interest in genealogy began with a 9th grade English project and have since traced her paternal line and that of her husband to England in the early 1600s. She has also traced her mother's Acadian family from France to Canada, through the British dispersement back to France and into Louisiana in 1785. Registration will begin at 8:30 am. The seminar will be from 9:00 until 3:30 pm. The cost is $25.00 per person if registered before September 1st, or $30.00 per person after September 1st. Participants may order a box lunch if ordered by September 1st, bring their own lunch or plan to eat at nearby restaurants. Soft drinks and light snacks will be provided.

Do your FRANKLIN lines connect to FRANKLIN lines from Freestone county, TX or other parts of TX, AL, GA, NC, or VA? Sabine & Desota Parish, LA. I have quite a bit of info on FRANKLINS & their colateral lines. Johnnye

Do you know if there is any other genealogical data on the marriage license such as parents of the bride and groom? If you ever need a look up in Claiborne Parish, LA, I can help.

Freeman White and Mrs. Polly Ann Fanklin were married or obtained a marriage license on 03-10-1902 in Anderson Co. She also appears in the 1900 Anderson Co. census as Mollie Franklin living in the household of David Herring as housekeeper. Has 2 Huddleston and 2 Franklin children with her. This is found on page 183 of the census and seems to be in the Denson Springs/Hickory Grove area of the county. You may already be aware of this.

It is in Volume 15, page 173. The Anderson County Clerks phone is 903-723-7402. They can tell you how much it would cost to get a copy sent to you. The date I listed may be the day they took out the license, the date it was returned, the date it was registered or the actual date of marriage, so it would be better to contact the county clerk.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XiB.2ACI/1669 Message Board Post: I would love some help on a marriage in Anderson county. I believe that the Polly Ann Miles who married William E. Huddleston (1882) and then Charles Franklin (1890) is the same woman who later appears on the 1910 census as Mollie White liivng with her daughter, Mollie, and her husband (either Pat, John P Todd) on the 1910, 1920, and 1930 Anderson Co. Census. Can anyone help me with a marriage record for Mollie/Polly Franklin to a man with the last name of White. This would have taken place between 1900 and 1910.
