Posted on: Austin County, Tx Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Austin/404 Surname: Oliver, Griffin, Locke ------------------------- Joy, I tried to reply to your gracious message about my request, but the e-mail came backsaying user unknown so I hope you see this."Thanks so much for your answer. My g-grandfather Benjamin Franklin Griffin born 1839 and died August 22, 1889 in Buckhorn. My guess is thathe might be in an unmarked grave inthe Buckhorn Cemetery, but if you have access to records, could you look to see if he was in any of the other nearby cemeteries. On the 1880 census, B.F. Griffin, His wife Cinderella and his children were enumerated on June 15 in district 140 in Washington County. Was Buckhorn in both Austin and Washington counties.? In a Shelby Co. Census I located a C.P. Oliver whose wife was shown as Permelia. I wondering if Permelia died and then he married an Amanda or if that was also part of her name. Her age would make her old enough to be the parents of Bertha, Della and Louella Oliver plus the Tillman Oliver if this were the case. My mom never knew her name. The marriage license for C.P. Oliver and Cinderella Griffin must not have ever been executed or it is a different Cinderella. She lived with her son Wiley until her death. In her confederate pension application, she states that she was never married to anyone other than B.F. Griffin. None of the sons are grandchildren know of any other marriage for her. Della Oliver married the E. Porter Locke and that is either a daughter who did not marry and a son, or a son & his wife buried close to Amanda & Tillman. Again, thank you!
