Hello all, I wish someone knew where Mount Hope Cemetery, Gainesville, Cooke Co. Texas was? I have been told there is no Mount Hope Cemetery in Cooke Co.. But my great grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, said in an old letter that his mother was buried there in 1874. Her maiden name was Isabella Jane McDowell, born in South Carolina. Her first husband was John Warren White, my g.g.grandfather, they having a farm along Fair Forest Creek near Spartanburg, S.C.. He was killed in The War for Southern Independence, and in 1866 she remarried a Mr. James Henry Calvert, and their family and some relatives and friends all migrated to Cooke Co., Tex... One of my gr.gr.grandmother's sons by her first marriage to Mr. John W. White, Edward Walker White, migrated to Amarillo, Tex., marrying a Miss Leota Kirk and having thee children; Fay White (mar'd Harry L. Kearns), Johnie White( mar'd Mr. Eislick), Edward Dean White. Edward Walker White and his brothers in law started a store in Amarillo called White and Kirk, sort of a general store I reckon. He also was very successful in the copper mining business there. I would love to hear from Edward Walker White's descendents. Does Amarillo's county, whatever that is, have a "rootsweb" list address I can send e-mails too? Heck, I even have some pics of them and their kids around here somehwere. Their descendents would probably love to have copies of them. Anyway, Isabella Jane (McDowell) White had four mour children by Mr. Calvert. Around 1874, when his mom died in Cooke Co., my great grandfather Wm. Henry White, went back to S.C., becoming a Presbyterian Minister, thus my family is still back here in the Deep South. I am sure there are a lot of distant White relatives still in S.C. too. Two of John Warren White's sisters, Missouri Louise White, born in 1844 in S.C., who married a Mr. Monroe Wallace Wyatt (they too went to Cooke Co., where they are buried), and Mary Adeline White, born in S.C. in 1843, also went to Texas. One John W. and Isabella Jane McDowell White's daughters, Sally Anna White, born 1857 in S.C., who married a Mr. Wm. Chandler, also went to Texas where she is buried. Before and after the Civil War a lot of my McDowell and White relatives, and some Blacks, Wyatts, Wests, etc., who married into these families, migrated west. There was a whole set of children of a Mr. Wyatt who married a McDowell, sibling to my ancestor, went to Texas in 1873. I have my White file back to Col. Henry White (Rev. War) in South Carolina, and my McDowell fine back to when they came over from Ireland in the mid-1790s if anyone is related or interested, and it shows those some of those others that married into the family and some that migrated to other states. But anyway, if anyone knows where Mount Hope Cemetery there in Gainesville, Cooke Co., Tex. is I would surely appreciate any info on it. One day I would like to go visit her grave.

Hi David, Interesting-- some of our family is from Cooke County and we even have some buried in Spring Creek Cem., Cooke Co. as you can see below. We live in Amarillo, and our counties are Potter/Randall. I'll forward your email on to one of the primary Genealogy Soc. people so he can respond. BTW- I've bought many a dress, etc. and still have some of the hats that came from White & Kirk. White and Kirk was an upper crust type store that primarily carried nicer clothes, furs, etc. Thanks for any who relay info to us on our Dye family.

Hello David, It's probably too easy for this to have relevance here, but there is a New Hope Cemetery just outside of Gainsville (to the south-east). In fact, our website for Cooke County TxGenWeb project shows the following: "New Hope Located 1 mile south of Burns City, on west side of FM 372. 332943N 0970242W " Also..... Also, the following link is a Mapquest map as to exactly where Burns City is located and if you zoom in one more step it will show you the cemetery location. Last, there is a website with almost every grave in Cooke County that you might want to take a look at, located: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~texastrails/index/cemetery/acoo ke.htm Good Luck and Happy Hunting, Bob Hudspeth -----Original Message----- From: David Middleton Edelen II [mailto:k98@bellsouth.net] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 11:45 AM To: TXCOOKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXCOOKE] Mt.
