David, perhaps Isabella and her husband came to Texas with the Wyatt and Ware families, Isabella's sister Adeline Amanda McDowell was married to Thomas Wesley Wyatt and their daughter Susan Ann Wyatt married John Fletcher Ware. John and Susan's first child was born in SC and the second child, my grandmother, Elizabeth Amanda Ware was also born in Upshur County in 1872, their next child was born in Cooke County. Looks like they may have made the trip to Texas together. The other sister Rachel Catherine McDowell was married Thomas Templeton Black, he had to come to Cherokee County and bought land, but died before he was able get his family moved here, Rachel came after 1874 to Cherokee County, living there many years before moving on to Johnson County, then later Tarrant County, where she died. I remember in one of the Cooke County quarterlies, they had a list of cemeteries that were moved to a new location because of a lake that was being built, maybe this is what happened to this cemetery. Even if this did happen, there should be some kind of record that shows this cemetery was moved and where it was relocated. Oh, BTW, Mr. Calvert married again [1875] and had least three more children [James J., Elizabeth, and Belle] by his second wife, Sidney Nellie Hooper. In 1900 he and Sidney were living in Hale County, Texas.

Hello Connie, How are you doing these days? It is good to hear from you and always good to hear from a distant relative. Anyway, in his letters and papers when he descibed moving west in 1866, my great grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, wrote (he was around 11 when they went west) that, ".....along with some relatives and friends....", they migrated to Texas. So I am sure that some relatives, whom I am not sure, went with them. In my White line there were those that migrated around too, and some that married Wests, Blacks, Barnetts, and Wyatts as well I think. But now there was one bunch of the Wyatts, all siblings and children of my g.g.grandmother's sister Adeline McDowell Wyatt that did not go until 1873. Below is an excerpt from my McDowell file, the first two generations after they came to South Carolina from Ireland. You will see how some migrated west at different times, etc.. I might have sent you this before Connie, but let me know what you think: ---------------------------------- I. JOHN MCDOWELL, SR. was born 12 August 1759 in Glenmellion, Co.

From Bible of Mary McDowell Black, John McDowell, Sr. was born in Glenmellion, County Antrim, Ireland. On an old slip of paper great grandpapa Rev. W. H. White wrote that the ship that the Mcdowells came over on was named "Margaret", and landed at Charleston, South Carolina in 1793 or 1794 (my Great-Grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, said it was in 1796). John McDowell served as an elder in Fairforest Presbyterian Church in the Spartanburg, S.C. area. Session 14 July 1842 adopted a resolution about him, Mathew Mayes and Samuel Morrow. The McDowells settled in Union County, South Carolina near the present David Henry McDowell house.
