Posted on: Cass County, Tx Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Cass/747 Surname: GERMANY ------------------------- Trying to determine if there is a connection between John Germany of Cass Co., TX and my GERMANY family in Red River Co. and Lamar Co., TX. John Germany received a land patent in Red River Co. and Cass Co. in the years immediately after the TX revolution. He is listed in the 1846 tax list for Cass Co., and in the original landholders of Cass Co. Who was he? Robert Smith Germany was born 1820 in MS, and came to Lamar Co. ca. 1875 with his wife Martha Elizabeth Sprouse, sons James Benjamin Germany b. 1847 and John B. Germany b. 1856, daughter Nancy Elizabeth Germany b. 1860, and an adopted child, Willie Waldo Germany. The two sons were married and may/may not have had children at that time. John B. died in Lamar Co. in 1879. The Germany family remained in Lamar Co. and Red River Co. until the mid-1880's when they migrated to Polk Co., AR. Trying to find parents for Robert S. Germany, and hoping information about John Germany of Cass Co. might provide clues.
