Posted on: Cass County, Tx Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Cass/767 Surname: ALSOBROOK, WHITE, McDonald ------------------------- I did not have a death date or place for Jim. Thanks. I had a birth year and a marriage date (February 19, 1880) and I agree with you as to Jim being linked because I think Jim was son of Joseph Marshall Alsobrook and Jerusah Greer. I'm not sure of his middle initial but he was a James who was called Jim. One source thinks the initial is G for Garland and another thinks it is S, perhaps for Sims??. Since you have his death date and know where he's buried, perhaps you have the inside track on that middle initial?? I'm also curious at to why you think there may have been another wife. Is it because of the boys birth dates? I'd love to try to check into that. I've just recently been in touch with family descendants of Joseph Marshall (down through Gus) who are very interested in knowing more about their bunch. This would be of great interest to them, too. How positive are you about the daughter named Clyde? (what kind of ribbing did SHE get in school!?) Do you know if there were graves of possible children near them? What's the cemetery info on the two boys, Willie and Sims? I wonder if Sims is short for Simmons. That's a name that appears in the names of some of the TN Alsobrooks. As for Benjamin (Ben), if you are talking about the one born July 17, 1866, I feel pretty confident he is Jim's brother and that Jim was "James" in the 1870 census records. And I don't mind the head spinning, I'm getting kinda used to it these days, what with all the stray Alsobrooks yet to be connected into overall family tree.
