I'm looking for the death date for Eliza Linton, probably buried with Rentfros. Her daughter Laura married Robert Byron Rentfro Sr. She died between 1900-1910, and if it's after 1903 I can try for a death certificate.

All that Neva's children have told me is that Neva did go and visit her birthmother there in Harlingen at the address contained in my first inquiry. Neva died at 63 years old in 1999, so it would have had to be before 1999. And if Neva was born in 1936 and assuming her birthmother was in her teens, then I would put Helen in her late seventies or early eighties at that time. Let me check with one of the sons and pull some more information out of them. I would really appreciate any help that you can give me and the family. Thank you so much, Linda DeWitt Hughey

I also will go to the cemetery if she has a head stone and photo it for you and send email. But, I will only do this after the new year. I'll need a week or two.

I am researching my Perez family from Cameron County. My great-grandmother was Maria Santos Perez born in 1838 in Matamoros, Tamps., MX but moved to Brownsville, TX. Her parents were Juan Perez & Refugio Villarreal (my great-great grandparents). Maria Santos Perez married Rafael Villarreal approx. 1860 but I do not know if this was in Brownsville or Matamoros. They had several children and some were born in Brownsville & others in Matamoros. One of their children was my grandmother, Eulalia Villarreal who married Julian Trevino. Do any of these names sound familiar?

Mattie E Stewart, Ethel's mother, was widowed by 1910 record. I could not make out all of the persons in the household but Frank and Ethel were not there. The 1910 record only indexes "head of household"...they were living with somebody and I would think in Karnes county ? Mattie E, 44, widow Joseph H, son, 22 Thomas Hill Stewart, son, 12 ? B, daughter, age 3 ? N ?, son in law, 22, who was a tailor Bettie, married for 4 months to above, age 15 The 1920 record shows Mattie as head of household, Thomas Hill Stewart and daughter Bonnie, age 18...Thomas is "soda jerk" at soda fountain. 1900; Census Place: Justice Precinct 5, Karnes, Texas; Roll: T623 1650; Page: 12B; Enumeration District: 64.

I am looking for a man who was born in TN , family history states he left for TX and married an Hispanic Woman who was buried on the Rio Grande probably early 1900s his death also in the 1920 range. He may have gone by an alias due to trouble in Ark. and TN. Family history states he did very well with much land , believe her family had money. He would have been born around 1854 and at one time had been a Deputy Marshal in Ark. If any of this sounds familiar to any one researching their family where a white man and Hispanic were married please let me know. One thing that would have stood out would have possibly been his light blue eyes. P.Pittman

Thanks sts, I have been there, and plan to spend more time looking.... I have not come across much to help my line in last couple of yrs. Thanks for the response.
