Has anyone had access to "The Index to the 1867 Voters' Registration of Texas" CD by Donaly E. Brice and John C. Barron and published by Heritage Books, Bowie MD for $32 + $4? Would like another TX researcher's opinion before I pursue a copy. I am wondering what counties are covered which was not mentioned when it was reviewed in "Genealogical Computing" Summer 2000. Heritage does have an 800 number (800-398-7709) where possibly more detail could be obtained. Appreciate any input re this resource.

I am researching the descendents of John J.(James?) Cox who moved to Texas from South Carolina. He is listed in the 1880 census with his wife Druczillia(Drucilla?) and son John Brooks Cox and daughter Lula J.(Jane?) Cox. His other sons were Henry and William. John Brooks married Lula Smith and was the father of James Henry . I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who is researching this line. thanks, Tammy Cox

Could someone please tell me where in Bowie County is Nash located. thank you Christine

Thanks, I have been given the location of Woodlawn as being located on the County Avenue side of Stateline Cemetery. Appreciate the assistance. Doris

There is a woodlawn cemetary in Harrison County. Not familiar with one in Bowie Janet

Is there a Woodlawn Cemetery in Bowie County? If so, where is it located? Thanks, Doris

Christine, My sister and I traveled extensively in Bowie Co. in June, and I see my sister must have our maps. But I am going to make a guess here and say that Nash is east of Hooks about 10 miles. I hope this helps.
