I do not see this couple listed in the Anderson County Genealogical "Before 1900" or after 1900. Their descendants probably did not stay in Anderson Co., TX. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/LesleysWorld/andco3.html see the 1850 census. Check this page out...it has lots of marriage records. You might find her prior to the 1875. http://members.aol.com/dba1013/RECORDS.html Phyllis -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of sjmcs@houston.rr.com Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 12:53 PM To: TXANDERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [[TXANDERS]] BRADSHAW, McNEELY, and HYATT - looking for a maiden name This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BRADSHAW, McNEELY, and HYATT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XiB.2ACI/1633 Message Board Post: On the IGI records is a marriage for my gg uncle Phillip McNEELY to a Mrs. Caroline BRADSHAW on 3 Feb 1875 in Anderson County, Texas. I am looking for information as to which BRADSHAW that Caroline was married to prior to Phillip McNEELY. I would love to find Caroline's maiden name. She is found on the 1880 Wise County, Texas census listed as a widow and a boarder with the F. M. HYATT family. From that census, Caroline was born about 1851 in MS. Listed next to the HYATT family on this census is Phillip's uncle, Thomas G. McNEELY and his family. While the name appears to be HYATT on this census, it might be WYATT or MYATT. Any information would be helpful and appreciated! Sheryl McNeely Shaw ============================== New! Family Tree Maker 2005. Build your tree and search for your ancestors at the same time.
