Have seen some interesting posts lately where people come across old photos and have successfully matched them with someone's search. Any photos of John Marion Robeson/Robinson and wife Ellen Self Robeson/Robinson and children: Robert,Sallie/Lizzie, Mollie, Lou Ellen, Kate, Charles and Annie that might surface who would appreciated. They were in the Fannin and Cooke County area in the 1870's and 1880's. Lizzie Robeson was my g.grandmother and photos of her are rare. I am glad to see when old photos have been saved and passed on. Thank you, Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas

R.E.L. (Robert E. Lee)Robinson/Robeson was on census in Fannin and Cooke counties with his parents in 1870 and 1880 before leaving home for the West. He was a writer and adventurer out in Arizona and was murdered on the island of Tiburon off Mexico by natives May 26, 1891. The incident made the AP wires. Was hoping there might be something in papers back in the region where he grew up. His parents were John Marion and Ellen Self Robeson/Robinson. Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for the Trefoe Surname. This name disappeared in 1850 in Mississippi and has not been found since, even today. Posibly could have migrated to this area.

Thank you so much...Myrtle Rose Robeson and one of the Williams was mine I know for sure. If you come across anything ever on R.E.L.(Robert)Robeson/Robinson, he was the brother of Annie's who ran off and was murdered on the Island of Tiburon in 1894 by cannibals...had hoped there would be a legal document from his bros and sisters settling his estate. Appreciate your help so much. Faye

Write the County Clerk's office in Gainesville, Cooke Co TX and see if they have records of such a marriage. My grandparents were married in Cooke Co in 1895 and I was able to get a copy of their license and their marriage certificate.

Looking for information on Anne Robeson/Robinson who married Tom Rains around 1916. Anything on she or Tom would be appreciated. She was the daughter to John and Ellen Robeson. They were on the 1880 Census before leaving for OK. Most of the family stayed in Cooke County so she possible married there. Thank you, Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas

Looking for a marriage record for Tom Rains to Clara Anne(Annie) Robeson/Robinson sometime around 1916. She may have been married previously to unknown Cook. Any help would be appreciated. Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas

Looking for any records on Robert E. Lee Robinson/Robeson, son of John and Ellen Robinson/Robeson. The family was on the 1880 census.

Judy, I am not researcing the Walker surname. But, I was at the courthouse and library in Gainesville today. Found the following info on Mary F. Walker: Cooke County Death Records 1955-present: death certificate infomration. born 6/16/1861864 in Tennessee died 3/22/1957 in Gainesville, Tx. Last residence: 803 S. Rusk St., Gainesville cause of death: cerebral vascular accident father: Daniel W. May, born in Tennessee mother: Carolin Martin, born in Tennessee Informant: Della Walker, daughter Funeral director: Vernie Keel Funeral Home, Gainesville Interent: Valley View Cemetery At the library, I did find and make a copy of her obituary, Gainesville Daily Register, 3/23/1957. Vernie Keel Funeral Home, now Clement-Keel is still in business her, and on the road to my house, so I stopped. They kindly made a copy of her funeral record for me. The funeral home does not charge for the funeral record, which has much of the same information as a death certificate. Of interest to me was that the funeral home lists her fathers name as Dan Walker May. Oh, and the funeral home info lists her name as Mary Frances Walker. If you want the obit and the funeral home info, please e-mail me privately with your postal address. I will mail them to you.

Have been looking for any information on the death of Robert E. L. Robinson, reporter for the San Francisco Examiner who was murder May 26, 1894 on the Island of Tiburon by the natives there. He was raised in Cooke County so a report of his death could have been sent there. Have been told there is a scrapbook of old newspaper articles at the library/courthouse there. Does anyone do lookups in this scrapbook? Thank you, Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas

Looking for someone who has access to old newspapers in Cooke County. Looking for an obit about Robert E. L. Robeson/Robinson who was raised in Cooke County and went out west and was a correspondent for the San Francisco Examiner Newspaper. On May 26, 1894, he went ashore on the Island of Tiburon, south of California, for water and was killed there by the natives who were said to be cannibals. Was reported in Arizona papers and said the story was widely spread. Was wondering if it made his home town paper? Someone said they thought the paper around that time frame was the Hesperian. He was a brother to my g.grandmother Sallie/Lizzie Robeson/Robinson and son of John Marion and Ellen Robeson/Robinson . Any help would be appreciated. Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas
