King and a D.D. Wilson, dated the 5 Jan 1881. I went to the courthouse today on other business and checked the marriage license book for this entry. There was no other information available. Just names (initials) and dates. You mentioned Molly Dudley (Wilson) King passed away in Arizona, was this Dudley name one of the "D" initials ?. There were no other listings for King-Wilson unions in he index in the book or at the courthouse. I hope this is of some help, Clay

Harold Eady and Denna Faye Cathey, 27 years after their marriage in Brown County Texas. And of course, the phone number of the Eady, is obviously not the right one, since finding the death record.

Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DhB.2ACE/1010.1.1 Message Board Post: Clay, thank you so much for your assistance. I am certainly confused about the absense of the Mays name. In the obituary of her brother in 1947 she is listed as a survivor as "Mary Mays of Brownwood, TX". I guess that could just be a newspaper misprint, but it sure does leave me curious. But that's what makes family research interesting, isn't it? Thanks again!

Gillitine and twenty-three militiamen of the Texas 2d Military District stared into the grave they had just opened. On the bottom lay a two-year-old Indian girl, dead not 48 hours. To Gillitine, she was less a dead child than the final proof he needed for an alarming report he was sending Confederate Colonel James Barry at Fort Belknap. As the soldiers kicked loose sand back into the hole, Gillitine began the communiqué that would soon lead to his own death in a battle unlike any other fought in Texas during the Civil War. . . . . . . . . (This article was written by Phillip Rutherford and originally published in Civil War Times Illustrated Magazine on February 1997.) What follows in the article is a very bone-chilling description of the battle and aftermath. again, hope this helps, Clay

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mays, Ladyman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DhB.2ACE/1010 Message Board Post: My great aunt Mary F. Ladyman, born 1877 in Arkansas, moved to Brown County TX with her husband William between 1910 and 1920. In 1930 she was living with her son William L. Ladyman. Apparently, between 1920 and 1930 her husband William passed way and Mary remarried someone by the name of Mays. She may have gone by the nickname "Lady" Ladyman before her second marriage. In 1947, Mary listed her address as Brownwood, TX. She died about 1962. I am looking for information about William's death, Mary's marriage to Mr. Mays and their deaths.
