Nancy, I found several Harris'--but no John W or J W.....and no Minnie or with the children you listed... If you will send me whatever info you have on this family I will watch out for them...There are some Harris buried in Reeds Lake Cemetery. Sorry I didn't find your John W. What was Minnie's maiden name? I know the frustration of elusive ancestors. We have our David Underwood in Grimes County in 1850, Brazos in 1860, he was with Elmore's Regiment in Galveston in the CSA, can't find him anywhere in 1870 and have him in Bell County in 1880 where he died in 1883 and is buried in Reeds Lake Cemetery.

Below is from The History of Bell County by George Tyler. George talks about" beats" . Does anyone know more about this? It looks my ggggrandfather Alonzo Beeman andAbner Kuykendall were on BEAT 1. History of Bell Co. by George Tyler page 230. On Sept 22,1863 the Commissiioners' Court Subdivided the County into 10 commissary beats, for better suppling the needs of the families of the Soldiers in the Confederate Army and appointed superintendents in each beat as follows Beat 1-Abner Kuykendall and Alonzo Beeman Vickie

Congratulations on finding the cemetery in Oscar! There is a very good article about it in today's Temple Daily Telegram. Are donations for cemetery preservation to be made to the Bell County Historical Commission?

Jane, this is what I found today.

W F 17 Blank This last one is a mess...I really can't read the states of birth...it would be a pure guess on my part...Sorry. Maybe some other library has a better copy than the ones we have. I also have an index that shows a John Thompson on pages 341, 256, 425, and 344...in the 1880 Bell County Census. I will try and remember to take a look at these next time I am digging in the census records. Thanks...
