I'm trying to find anyone who knows more about these two families. What I know is: Jedediah Vervalin b ca 1804 in NY married Anna ? (maybe Barber) Children: Kezia b ca 1834 d 1914 buried in Needmore Cemetery Collin Co TX Frederick b ca 1834 d 15 July 1852 Morris, Otsego Co. NY buried in Quaker Cemetery Malinda Rachel b ca 1835 Betsey b ca 1836 m Lewis Bennett Martia b ca 1840 d 13 April 1915 buried BlueGrove Cemetery, Clay Co. TX Jedediah A. (or Judson) b 16 Mar 1842 d 17 June 1928 buried Royse City Cemetery, Rockwall Co. TX Kezia and Rachel married brothers Egbert and Cornelius Reynolds. Egbert is buried in Needmore Cemetery with Kezia. Rachel and Cornelius had 2 children: Louis Eugene and Waty Ann. Waty Ann married my g-grandfather, William Caswell "Cas" Douglas. Martia married Waty Ann's father-in-law John Douglas. Kezia and Egbert had the following children: Frederick b ca 1854 in NY Nathaniel b ca 1856 NY Emery b 1858 NY married Almedia Trout 18 May 1882 Hunt Co (in the 1860 NY census Emery is listed as Emily!!!) Charles b ca 1867 NY Minnie b ca 1871 TN m W.H.H. Younger 7 Oct 1889 Hunt Co TX ( I have a photo of Waty Ann and Minnie) The mystery is: How did these families wind up in Texas, and what happened to Jedediah sr, Anna, Rachel, and Cornelius? In 1870, all these families were living in Crossville, Cumberland Co TN. In 1880, Kezia's family, Jedediah jr, Martia, and Rachel's children were living in TX. There are no Vervalins or Reynolds listed in the cemetery in Crossville. Cornelius shows up in the 1880 census in Crossville, while his children are in TX. The only family stories I know are that Rachel died in childbirth and Martia raised her children, and that Minnie married one of "the" Younger brothers (I doubt this). Sorry to go on so long but, as you can see this is a convoluted family. Thanks Judith Douglas Mayfield Pearland, TX
