Are the Brownwood newspapers published in 1944, available anywhere in Brownwood? I have been advised they are on microfilm. However, I was hoping by now the microfilm might be available in the Library there in Brownwood. Patsy (that has helped me in the past) gave me the phone number to check on the microfilm, which I promptly saved and now can't find. I would also appreciate someone checking and advising me information about the Brownwood Library. I recently stopped by but it was on Saturday and there was no one to ask genealogy questions. Does anyone know if the "older" material has been moved to the new genealogy room yet or are there plans to do this? Any help will be appreciated. Frances

In 1860, Dudley is enumerated right before Abner and Sarah Barton. Sarah was William Bowden's daughter. Do you know if there is a Gunn~Bowden (or Travis or Wiggins) family connection?

Her husband George Rufus died and buried in Arizona 1898. Mollie is listed in the 1900-10-20-30 Arizona census records. I have a copy of Molly's death record, pictures of her gravesite, and the house where she lived for over 20 years. Two of her children were born in New Mexico and two were born in Texas. Almost every document/record that I have seen regarding Molly, the initial D or the name Dudly/Dudley is noted. A letter written by Molly's son Arthur in 1940 refers to his mother as 78 years young. He enquires about a Jim Wilson and wonders if he is still alive. I don't know exactly who Arthur was writing this letter to, but he is interested in Jim Wilson. You should be hearing from my King-kin in soon. I forwarded your e-mail, and asked them to e-mail you. They may have more family knowledge than I do about the Wilson family.I was able to help them with Arizona data. I will forward this information to them. I'm sure they will be in touch with you soon. I'm just the helper. Rachel

I would think that she died in Texas, but since she obviously had a daughter Mollie King who moved to Arizona, and other children elsewhere, it is possible that she is in another state. Her first husband was Dudley Wilson who was killed in the battle of Corinth and probably is buried in a mass grave. She then married again to Robert Timmons , I don't know if she married again or if she continued to use the Wilson name? Thank you for your interest and assistance, i will take any help in finding her, since she is a missing piece of my puzzle.

I am currently in the process of editing Subject, Classification and Surnames fields entries on the the past posts. To that end, I'd like to take this opportunity to expound on the Message Board Rules (link at bottom of this screen): Subject field: This field should be complete, concise, and specific in describing the content of the body of the message you are posting. The subject should not be general such as "genealogy," "searching," or "looking" because nearly everyone posting a query on the board is searching for genealogical information. When deciding on a subject for your message try putting yourself in the place of someone searching the board and ask yourself if your subject would help them understand the content of your query. Examples of good subject lines might include: "Looking for the parents of John SURNAME born 1812 in Frederick County, Virginia" or "Will of James SURNAME probated 1850 York County, Pennsylvania," or "Obituary of Mary SURNAME (nee MAIDEN), died May 1900, New Haven, Connecticut." Surname box entries: Enter only surnames (last names) that are included in the message you have posted in this box. Do NOT include surnames just because you are researching them unless they are included in the message body. List surnames one at a time separated by a comma. Example: Smith, Cousins, James, List, Van Allen, Jones, de la Croix, Wood, Woods. Whether you list the names in upper, lower, or mixed case is not important. Surnames which have variants such as Wood and Woods should be listed separately and not shown as: Wood(s) or as Wood/Woods. The search engine will not pick them up correctly when shown in this manner. The purpose of the Surname box entries is to enable board searchers to use the advanced search option and search ONLY on the names you have listed in the box indicating they are surnames. It eliminates from searches words appearing elsewhere in a post (but not listed in the Surname box) such as the poster's name (Sally Someone may have posted numerous messages on the board and signed them with her full name in the message body), a common word (such as Cousins above), or given name (such as James above). Do not enter anything other than surnames in the Surname box. Do not enter given names or locations, and do not use descriptive words such as "and" "many more" "Jr." or "etc." and do not use punctuation unless it is a part of a surname (other than the commas which form the separation between each Surname entry). Classification: If you are posting a query or replying to a query, select the default classification of Query from the drop down menu. If you are posting data/documents select the data type that most closely matches the type of information you are posting: Bible, Will, Deed, Biography, etc. A question about a document such as a Deed is classified as a Query not a Deed. Only data/documents are classified as one of the data classifications. A Query requesting a lookup is still a Query. Lookup can be used for messages that contain more than one type of data (death data from the SSDI as well as burial data from a cemetery transcription) or for negative results ("didn't find anything on Joseph NOBODY on 1880 census). The purpose of proper classification of messages is to enable board visitors to view and/or search messages by data type. Perhaps you are only interested in seeing what obituaries were posted for Brown County, simply click on the drop down menu for "View Message Type:" and select Obituary. Using the above guidelines helps ALL users and preserves the integrity of the boards. Thank you. Anji

Surnames: KING-WILSON-SLAUGHTER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DhB.2ACE/1006.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank You! I appreciate this kindness. I discovered quite abit of Arizona data for this family. Molly in particular. Every document that I have refers to her as Molly Dudly/Dudley, or Mrs M D King. I've located an 1880 census record that refers to Mollie Wilson 18 S, living with her mother Martha Wilson, a widow living in Brown County Texas. I'm making the wild leap of faith that this is the same Molly who married G R King in Brown Co Texas 1881. G R KING aka, George Rufus KING died in Arizona 1898. Between 1881 and 1900 George, Molly and two children born in Texas lived in New Mexico. I have census records, and two other documents indicate their these other two children were born in New Mexico. Molly remarried 1899, and a widow for a second time by 1904. She never remarried. I have found her gravesite along with one of her sons. If you should ever need any Arizona birth or death record, please contact me. I would be glad to exchange the courtesy. Rachel
