You need to look at both Travis Co. and Williamson Co. Hugo Raven and his wife are buried in Old Round Rock Cemetery. (Right inside the gate nearest the Bass grave marker.) There were several Austin marriages that occurred in Austin that could have produced your Raven. Herman L. Raven m. 1) Margaret A. E. Hamilton 3 Feb 1859 (Bk 1:232) and 2) Miss Henrietta S. Wood 10 Aug 1891 (Bk 7:460); Geo. Raven m. Mary Leverett 26 Nov 1885 (Bk 6: 326); Leslie Raven m. Marie Mathis 22 Jan 1894 (Bk 8: 336). I would look at Williamson Co. first. The family came from Baveria/Germany and there are several trees that will help you get your research on the Raven line started. I have not completed work on this line as it is an allied family. Be sure to look for articles in the Burnet paper and the Bertram paper also, if they lived near! the county line. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
