SAMUEL WRIGHT and JULIA E. FRIZZELL April 6, 1887. T. J. RAUSAM and IDA MARSHALL February 2, 1891. I was in McKinney, Texas yesterday checking the marriage records. I found My Great Grandmother who had been married twice, once in 1887 and once in 1891. The Collin County certificates have two on each page. The above marriage certificates are on the pages with my Great Grandmother. If these belong to anyone that is interested, I will copy these for you. Armond Beaty

Thank you so very, very much. I appreciate the bonus about Cogsdell being in the Confederate Service. I really do appreciate your help. I have met the very kindest people doing this.

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other genealogical mailing list available, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to [email protected] not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message as quickly as possible. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at [email protected] or in the evenings at [email protected]et. 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding to the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at [email protected] I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom [email protected]

I would like to invite you to view my little Coffman Cemetery web site where I've put tombstone pictures for almost 3/4 of those interred in this cemetery. I've included family group sheets for those that connect to my lines. http://www.ourfamilyties.us/Cemeteries/tx/collin/collin.htm My great-greatgrandparents, George Washington and Emma (Yadon) MINTON and my greatgrandfather, Thomas J. HUNTER are buried here. Known surnames that connect to my lines are MANTOOTH, MYERS, and STICE. I am especially interested in finding others who have any knowledge of Thomas J. Hunter. He was my maternal grandmother's father. He died when she was only 6 months old and we know very little about him. Research suggests that he is the son of Louis Parker HUNTER and Matilda HOPKINS of Clinton Co., KY. A Hunter researcher who said that he was the "authority" on the KY Hunters tells me that Matilda died before my Thomas was born so they could not be my Tom's parents. However, I feel that this researcher is confusing the Louis Parker Hunter who married E. A. HUDSON with the one above. Other Clinton Co., KY HUNTERs were living in Collin Co. at the same time.

Thank you everyone..I have the copy of the will and the probate, was just wanting a copy of an obituary if there was one available to see what it would say about relatives, etc. Again, thanks for all the suggestions.. Rebecca

Your best bet is a will or other probate record in the county clerks office. >

Thank you so much! This will be a great help to me. I really appreciate it.

Rebecca, chances of getting a Death Record at the Court House in Texas is slim to none, they were not required to keep those records until 1903. Death dates after that are easy to search and procure.

How would one go about getting a copy of a death record in Collin County? Rev. John Tate died Dec. of 1868 (according to records in book, but tombstone states 1869). Are there any newspapers in Collin County for that time period that can be accessed for an obituary? How would I find what funeral home was used ? Is there anyone on here that can do a look-up for the newspaper if one is available? Thank you, Rebecca
