I would appreciate a look-up if at all possible. I am trying to locate J.G. Payne. He died 1897 of March. He is suppose to be in the Nolan Cemetery in Belton. Sherry Davis-Ellis

I did a search of the current Bell County cemetary transcriptions and did not locate any Dyches. Of course, not all Bell county cemetaries are transcribed yet. (Coming soon: New Project!) However, I did find the name Dyches on the following TXGenWeb sites: http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/jefferso.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/williams.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/haskell.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/williamson/census/1850/1850ind x.txt If you were referring to the Virtual Cemetary archives, there's not a lot there yet, but you can do a search on just about any field, including last name: http://www.genealogy.com/vcem_welcome.html Hope that helps...

Is anyone researching the Charles Michael Henderson family? Charles M. Henderson, m. Jamme Ann Virginia Adams in 1877. I need a connection between Jamme Ann Virginia Adams and her mother, Permilia (Permelia) Markham. Permilia first m. James Adams, second (?) Barrington. They had several children. Jamme Ann and Charles M. Henderson had a family of 12 children in Holland, Bell County, Texas. The family relocated to Coleman County, Texas about 1900. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brown Brooke

There is a South Belton Cemetery. It is about a half-mile south of the Bell County Courthouse on Penelope Street. Cemetery contains about 350 graves. It is not in good shape. Has been vandalized and there isn't much effort being put into cleaning it up. Cemetery also known as Conferedate Cemetery for the high number of Confederate veterans buried there. I have a 1968 list of burials in the cemetery and your grandmother is not on the list. However, the most recent burial listed is for 1938. I don't know if that was the last burial or the listmaker of the list I found just didn't list all the people buried there.

Hi Kay, McDowell Cemetery is also known as Nolan Valley cemetery. At least this is what I was told. It is north east of Killeen. Supposedly Joe and Dorothy Button was going to do this for me.

Are you kin to Harriet E Harmon who is buried in McDowell Cem, Bell Co? I think there is another Harmon or two buried there. Virginia

Sherry, I have a list of everyone buried at McDowell Cemetery (most of them are my kin) but there is no James G. Payne listed. Do you know his wife's maiden name. Perhaps her family is there. The cemetery is on the property of the Nolan Valley Baptist church in Northwest Belton. I can not remember the highway number think it is 196. Jody Dillard

There are several Meadors in the Moffat cemetery. Most of the stones are very worn and hard to read. However, note the comments on the first two listings here - they are children of W.A. and E. Meador: Meador John A. Jul 27 1891 Aged 3 yrs, 4 mos, 7 days - Son of W.A.& E. Meador Meador Child ? ? Child of W.A. & Emily Meador *worn* Meador Samuel ? 2 ???2 ? ? 1867 *worn* Meador ? Apr 11 1823 ? ? 1891 *very worn* Meador E.W. Feb 11 1842 Sep 1 1898 Wife of F.A. Meador Meador ? Oct 23 1877 Aug 7 1899 *worn* Hope this helps you!
