Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Bowie/494 Surname: LYNCH, HOLLEY, SHOCKLEY, SCHRIMSHIRE ------------------------- I have considerable info on these families and will be happy to share. James Harvey Lynch married Elizabeth SHOCKLEY and came to Bowie Co (Old Boston), TX in 1861. His son, Marvin Lynch, married Beulah SCHRIMSHIRE in 1899 and their son (my father), Herchel Lynch married Berline HOLLEY in 1933. I have the Lynchs back thru Jefferson Co, Ill (1827-61), then Smith Co, TN (1806-27) then Edgecombe Co, NC (before 1805). Also have the Schockleys back thru AL to SC in late 1780's and the Holleys and Scrimshires back to AL in the early 1800's. Also have lots of info on Boston (now Old Boston, Bowie Co, TX) from 1830 to 1880 including the Masons (1850-70), Civil War Units (Co D, 23rd Texas Cav) and other info. Will share what I have.
