I also found some of the same information in a rather round about way. Minnie's obituary didn't reveal much, but I found an obit for her younger brother, Joel T. "Joe" Shepherd. He died on February 24, 1912 of "Cerebro Spinal Meningitis" at the age of 15. Information listed: Parents: Daniel W. Shepherd and Lucy J. Shepherd Siblings: Three brothers and fours sisters George Walter Ray Mrs. Fred "Grisham" Henrietta Cecil Ida "The deceased boy was born in Wilson County, Tennessee but came to Collin County with his parents four years ago." The 1910 Census shows the order of birth as: Cecil, 17; Ida, 15; Joel, 13; Henrietta, 10; Walter 7; and George, 5 Minnie, having been born in Aug. of 1890, would have been 21 at the time of Joel's death. Ray would have to be the oldest or the youngest. Having trouble finding them in 1920. Collin County Marriage Records (on microfilm) show that Minnie Shepherd and F. P. Gresham were married in Collin County on March 17, 1910. I also found marriage records for G. H. Gresham and Grace Matlock and Otis Quinn Gresham and Alma Corene King. AND Obituaries for George H. Gresham, Grace Matlock Gresham, Otis Quinn Gresham and Alma Corine (King) Gresham. I can send copies if you would like.

I tried a different search angle & clicked on Family Trees instead of Historical Records when searching for Minnie, & one of the people who had set up a tree used the surname Stonecipher. Well, I'd been looking for a Rachel StonePFEIFFER as Minnie's mother or grandmother, but as soon as I corrected the spelling, everything started to fall into place! I now have Minnie's parents & maternal grandparents, and, I think, all of her siblings (7). I am really jazzed about this. Turns out my memory isn't as terrible as I thought: I had most of the names correct, just a bit out of sequence ... which can make a HUGE difference as you know. Anyway, I'm still plugging away at this, gaining a little ground every day. Michele Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My first attempt did not go through. My primary interst is in the family of James E.or "J.E." Watson. On the 1880 census is a family of Jack Watson age 33 GA with wife Missouri 29 GA and children Eddie 8 GA, Gideon 7 GA, Annie 5 GA, Alice 3 GA and Perry 1 TX. I have assumed that This is the same family that is listed as Andrew Watson b Apr 1847 GA m. about 1870 to Missouri C GA and has Perry J. b 1878 TX, Loren R (f) 1887 TX, and Oscar C. 1899 on the 1900 Collin co census. I cannot find them on the 1910 but TX death list has an Andrew J. Watson d 1914 in Denton co. Missouri Watson is the the household of Lorene as a mother on th 1920 Denton Co census. Is Eddie in this entry the same as James E. on the 1900 Collin Co TX and the 1910, 1920 and 1930 Kiowa Co OK census. He marrried Stena or Steena about 1893 and possibly Collin Co TX. Is Gideon found as William G. b Oct 1872 GA and m 1897 to Ammie? They can be later found in OK but not of the 1910 census. Any and all help appreciated.

From what you said, I assume that you have to actually visit the library to get microfilm records, right? Do you live in Collin County? If I am able to sort out my mother's side of the family, I guess it will give me the experience I need to tackle my father's side. Everything I have stops with my grandparents when they came to America from Italy around 1908-9. I should have learned Italian when my father wanted to teach me. AND asked for more family stories!

It's a mystery what happened to her. I've been in contact with a couple of people in Lincoln & Wilkes Counties, GA regarding the Glazes & Greshams, and I'm sure there is still quite a lot of family there, so possibly it's just a matter of tracking _them_ down to learn where and when Susan ended up. I have another loose end where I'm hitting a wall: Minnie Lee Shepherd Gresham. Although her maiden name is listed as Shepperd or Sheppard on some records I've recently seen, the family spelled it Shepherd, and I located her sister Irene Shepherd Hanks today with the correct spelling. What I can't find are any of the 3 brothers I knew she had, OR her parents. I've been all over the parts of Ancestry.com that I can get to (the free parts) and RootsWeb, with no luck. I think another factor involved is that while Minnie (who I think was the oldest of the children) was born in TN, I'm pretty sure the family moved to AR, or maybe TX after her birth, and maybe I'm not searching correctly? And suggestions on the best way to go here? Thanks! Michele Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The info I've received today is just GREAT! As soon as I saw the name Nancy Sanders Quinn, things my mother used to talk about dropped into place. Unfortunately, all the research she did has been lost since her death. I am now getting this all down in logical form on a pedigree. If only my Italian side (father) would be as easy! You are correct regarding George Houston & Otis Quinn Gresham never having children. Only my grandfather, Fred Parks, did: Otis Elbern (Bud), Rose Elizabeth, Noel Houston, & Susie Lucille (my mom). Minnie Lee Gresham was born Minnie Lee Shepperd/Sheppard in Lebanon, TN. Although there were at least 3 other siblings whose names I know in the family, I think the reason I'm having trouble finding them at all is because of the differences in spelling the last name, plus my own inexperience in doing productive research.

Webb, Joseph Edmond Webb. !Occupation: postmaster of Blue Ridge, Collin County 30 nov 1892 He was a medical doctor, known as Young Dr. Webb. Old Dr. Webb was Abner Lawler Webb, his elder brother. He graduated valedictorian of Louisville, Kentucky Medical School. He took post-graduate studies at Univ of Ark Med School and Tulane Univ, New Orleans, Louisiana. Joseph Edmund Webb was postmaster at Blue Ridge from Nov 30, 1892 to Jan 26 1894. He then went to Louisville Medical School in Louisville, Kentucky. He taught school between sessions and ran a drug store. Jimmy Etta sold some land she had inherited to finance him in medical school. He graduated valedictorian in 1887. (Uncle Dug has his speech written by his own hand). Jimmie had miscarried twin boy and girl and could not go to his graduation but watched the parade from her window of the rooming house where they lived in Louisville. Joe took post-graduate work at Little Rock Medical School, Little Rock, Arkansas. He and Jimmie Etta visited the governor of Arkansas (Jeff Davis?) in the Old State House in Little Rock while they were there. Joe took a post-graduate course in surgery in 1889 at Tulane, at New Orleans, Louisiana, under Professor Waldo Matas, a famous French surgeon. Joe practised medicine at Blue Ridge, Trenton, Desert, and Westminister. He was the most well-known horse and buggy doctor in North Texas. His older brother, Abner, was also a medical doctor and they were known as old Dr. Webb and young Dr. Webb since Ab was 18 years older than Joe. Joe was short in stature and heavy, with dark hair and mustache, blue eyes. He was handsome and was generous with everyone. His death was believed to be caused from apoplexy but he thought he had a brain tumor. He decided against surgery because at that time brain surgery was practically unheard of and he was araid he would be left a helpless invalid. He was buried at Pilot Point, Texas.
