The booklet gives the history of the Highland community and does not have a plat of the cemetery. It is good from a historical standpoint, but will not show where your relatives are buried.

Hello, I must not be getting all the Collin messages. I missed the information about this book. I have relatives buried in Highland. I contacted the assn. president and was told that no records exist of burials there, they only had the Collin Cem. books by Alice Pitts, etc. If there is any information existing anywhere about burials here, please contact me. I will pay for copies, buy books, etc. Mitzi Hammond Perkins AuntJoMika@aol.com wrote: > Dear Sue, > If you haven't sold this book to someone else I would Like to buy it. > Thank you, > JoAnne Mika > 7050 E Calle Osito > Tucson Az 85710

Hello List members: I wanted to let everyone know that I have gotten the GenConnect Boards for Collin County setup. Go visit the site at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1746/gc_collin.html GenConnect boards are a place where you can post Queries & Records/Documentation such as Wills, Deeds, Pensions, Obits, Biographies, & Bible Records. IMPORTANT: Only post Queries to the Query Board. They will be deleted off the other boards! These records are housed at RootsWeb/USGenWeb (The Internet's Oldest and Largest Genealogy Site) which makes large volumes of data available to the online genealogical community. This is another way we can get Collin County Records out for everyone to enjoy! Denise Maddox List Mom & GenConnect Admin

A. L. Phillips and wife Nannie Phillips are listed on 1880 Collin County Census. Does anyone know anything about them? They are my great-grandparents. I have been able to find very little on them. By 1900 they had moved to Red River County. I can find nothing before 1880. Anyone?? I would appreciate help. Thanks Thanks

As far as I know the web site did not move. It is still at geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4167. Parts of it are under construction.

Grounds Cemetery is actually north of Blue Ridge. Take SH 78 north from Farmersville about 9 miles to Blue Ridge. Follow SH 78 business through town. Just before it rejoings SH 78, take CR 576 west. It will turn north after about 1/4 mile. The cemetery will be on the left about 1 mile. Part of the road is white rock. The cemetery may be neglected. Care has been spotty in recent years.

I am posting this to all - assuming this is general information of value to many: 1)There are death records since 1903 of anyone with a death certificate in Collin county. 2)There are several reels of microfilm (one location is at the Harrington Library in Plano) which index the deaths in the state of Texas and include date, county and certificate number. 3) Minnie Pitts has a 2 volume book information to follow which lists the cemeteries and any headstones found in 1972 when the book was done, . > The referenced book, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS, was written by my mother, Alice Ellison Pitts.

For what it's worth, there is a Martha E. Berry 3-16-1836 to 8-15-1912 buried at Allen Cemetery, Allen, TX. Allen is just a few miles from Princeton. Your Jonathan J. and Martha are buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Farmersville about eight miles east of Princeton. The name is spelled Daniel. This information comes from the two vol set of cemetery inscriptions by Alice Pitts, Wanda O'Roark, and Doris Posey, published in 1975. The set is still available and is recommended for nay one searching Collin Co. Cemeteries. You can contact Minnie Pitts Champ on the TXCOLL rootsweb site.
