I do have the marriage info on her parents. That is what made me think Elizabeth might have been born in Burnet County since she was born abt 1860. I can not find her nor anyone in her family on the 1870 census anywhere. Elizabeth married in Collin County and her parents are on the 1880 census in Collin County, but no Elizabeth under Rich or Flanagan (married name). I am sure the name is mis-spelled on the 1870 and that is why I can not find any of them on it. Or maybe there were just missed.

State mandated vital records began after 1900 but compliance lagged for several decades thereafter. I was born 1946 but my birth was filed as "delayed recording" in 1948. Too, the accuracy of info on vital records depends on the knowledge/truthfulness of the informant. Per death certificates, James Harvy Rich was born 27 Dec 1862 and his sister Ophelia Nall was born 20 Aug 1862? That didn't happen! Then, we need to confirm Elizabeth's parents. What was her complete lifespan and where did she die? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In fact, I didn't find a record of any "Rich" births in Burnet County. Birth records really weren't kept that early in Burnet County. I did find the following: Certificate Number: 11334 Groom: RICH,KILLIAN Bride: WOOLEVER,MINERVA Maiden Surname: Date of Application: 07/28/1859 Date of Marriage: 08/04/1859 Book: A Page: 149 Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Having done the same thing for years myself - it really can be hit or miss when looking for specific people during that period of Texas History. So much of the history was passed along orally among "old-timers," that sadly - much of it was lost because it wasn't recorded anywhere. I'd suggest you check out the Frontier Times archive. It can be a tedious endeavor, but now they've installed a search utility on their website streamlining the process somewhat. I ran a search for the name "Clark" and it returned 10 pages containing 187 hits. Tedious, but better than nothing. Good Luck, and Happy Hunting!

Depends on what was going on at the time. Thanks for the luck, I will need it! I feel I owe it him to do some research and try to find him. He was a captain in the Texas Rangers I would love to find his story. Unlikely, but maybe I can find him in history. I love to do research, fustrating as it is sometimes. It is worth it when you do find something. Thanks again. And again if anyone who reads this that has some info that may help my search for Capt. J.W.

I graduated from high school when Texas History was mandatory. We studied everything from Quanah Parker to the Red River Raft. You are correct about some of those rangers drifting in and out of service. Captain was a command position so, hopefully, he stayed for a long duration?

Clark Capt. Texas Ranger". I have a old leather bag, most likely for a saddle. That was made around the late 1860s to the early 1890s. It has the above info on the bag. I had someone look at it and by the construction and other factors it was made during the period stated above. The Texas Ranger Museum does not have any offical documention of him. Which just means it will not make it easy to track him down. Their records are incomplete. There are a few people that might fit. That being said I am checking out any info that might fit.

I am not sure which family I am looking for. I was hoping to find a Texas Ranger Captain J.W. Clark. He should have been active somewhere around the late 1860s to early 1890s. Many did not stay long in the Texas Rangers, some did stay for a while or rejoined later. Without an offical document listed with the Texas Ranger Museum, I was hoping someone may know of one, somewhere around these dates. I was hoping I didn't have to go through several different Clark families to find this one. That is looking more unlikely. Thanks again for the reply. If anyone can help please let me know.

John Clark wed Eunice B. Jane Fowler, 15 Dec 1859, in Fannin County. Why was he in Fannin? Were there other relatives nearby? Answers to those question will often aid in overcoming "brickwalls". Grayson County connects to Fannin's western boundary. In 1880 Grayson-Denison-006-Image 25, find the family led by T. J. Clark age 48 and born in Georgia. His wife R. C. (Rebecca Caroline) was the daughter of George M. Bruce and Rebecca Watson. Also part of that 1880-household were sons: James, John M., Joseph H., George, and Thomas. Son Benjamin (Oct 1876 - 19 Oct 1877) died earlier and Charles Wesley (Feb 1881 - 1938) was born after the census. The family's time in Texas was brief perhaps as a result of deaths? In addition to Benjamin, Oakwood Cemetery is the final resting place of: T. J. Clark (unknown - 9 Aug 1884), and J. Clark (29 Jan 1868 - 10 Feb 1894). I believe the latter is list! ed twice, as J. C. Clark? In either case they appear to have departed Texas prior to 1900? I believe the family's roots are in Hall County, GA? That's where John Clark wed Lucy Morris, 31 Oct 1822. Thomas Jasper was born ca. 1835 per 1850 GA-Hall-District 38-Image 61. John Clark, disputed lawman of Mason County, was his older brother? If a male descendant from the lawman's line has been found then it might be possible to find someone from Thomas Jasper's line? George W., son of T. J., had at least four sons enumerated 1920 GA-Fulton-Atlanta Ward 7-District 122-Image 35. I'm not related but would like to see this issue resolved!

There is a findagrave memorial in Wood County, TX that's an autobiography. I, for one, hope she passed the "torch" where genealogy is concerned. A tremendous amount of research should be continued!
