Bobbie: I did not get the message asking what we wanted from the list. We've had local server problems, too. When I was a little girl, and my Grandma-Myrtle May PRUETT GROSS b. 3 Nov 1892 m. Wm.Arthur GROSS (his mother was a BULLARD)-talked about growing up in Texas, Coryelle Co. always came up. She was 'from' there,she always said, raised there, had family there.It wasn't til after her death I found she wasn't born in Coryelle Co, after all, but Parker Co. Her brother, Jacob Benjamin PRUETT was b. Coryelle Co.,m.Mamie F. GROSS and Uncle Obediah PRUETT lived there his whole life.Her father, Cyrus Sylvester PRUETT was b. Coryelle Co. 1868,his mother was a REEDER, his grandmother an EATON. Well, I know that connections aren't always as easy to find as we hope, but with all the family that was there, that married into other families there, I had hoped to find folks who were connected to my PRUETT, CULP and GROSS lines. C.S. PRUETTs brothers were Jacob Lee, Willis M., John Alvin; one sister, Sarah Frances (Fannie). Carole GROSS HEDGER

One set of my gg grandparents were William Wilson KIRKLAND, MD. and his wife Polly Ann KELLUM KIRKLAND. These Kirklands moved to Coryell County from McLennan County in 1874. William Wilson KIRKLAND, son of Archibald KIRKLAND and Mary CHANEY KIRKLAND, was b. 2 Jan., 1820, in TN/AL and died 23 Dec., 1905, at Osage, Coryell County. Polly Ann KIRKLAND was born 9 Apr., 1821 (although her tombstone says 1824) in Tuscumbia, Colbert Co., AL. She was a daughter of Edward KELLUM, SR. and his wife Karen Happy TABOR KELLUM. Polly Ann died 21 June, 1893, Coryell County, TX. Both were buried in the Osage Cemetery.

Searching for descendants of James Martin CRAIN, and his wife Marah Ann "Mary" McGLOTHLIN CRAIN, who moved from Toone, Hardeman Co., TN,to Coryell County, TX, after September, 1882, and before 3 August, 1887, when they were listed as members of Bluff Creek Missionary Baptist Church (which later was called Osage Baptist Church). James M. served as a Pvt. in Capt. Robert H. Wood's Co., 22nd TN Confederate Army. James died 31 Aug., 1926, and Mary Ann died 1 Jan., 1914 and both were buried in unmarked graves in the Coryell Church Cemetery. I would especially like to find descendants of their son Thomas Martin CRAIN, who was a brother of my grandfather, James Wesley CRAIN.

Patty, I have forwarded your post to three of your cousins, Randy McKenzie, Gib Murray, and Wiley Jarrel. My ancestors came to the Coryell Church community in the 1870's--Striblings and Kirklands, and 1880's --the Crains. I am related to Randy and Gib through the Gibsons, because one of my ancestors was Jenny Gibson, daughter of Jesse Gibson and Elizabeth Parmley. At this point we cannot connect Jane Gibson who married James McIlhaney to Jesse and Elizabeth Parmley Gibson.

Hi, Researching the surname HATTON, William C. Trying to find out more on his children and where in the world is he buried. Last notice I find of him is in land records about 1885 or 1886. Going to solve this mystery one way or another. I am doing this research for a friend, Dan P. Hatton. William's wife was Susan. Don't know where she was buried either. They are listed in the census for Gatesville. Where do I find out about Land Grants? WC was in the civil war and lost part of his left arm, but did not receive a pension. Does anyone have an idea why that may be? He belonged to Co. F 10th Texas Infantry. Does this mean he joined in Texas?

One of GenWebs 2 main listservers has been down. During the process they planned to update and expand it's capabilities. I think it was expected to be up and running last night, so I have held off on sending out list. We had the Coryell County Genealogical Society meeting Monday night with a good turnout. Our guest speaker was our own member, Charles Reeve, who retired in 1979 after 40 years of working at the State School for Boys. A very good program with information about the educational, vocational education and the changes that time brought was enjoyed by those present. We had an update on the condition of our president, Jimmy Yates, who continues on life support. They are hoping to have him home for Christmas, but things do not look good at present. Coryell County is being blessed at the moment with very good, soaking rains. This will do much to help the entire county for we have suffered a severe drought this year. I got no response on the request to share information with this group. Each of you are free to post things to this list. I had hoped that we would have enough interaction so that I would know what you hope to learn from this list. Last week I asked for everyone whose names started with A, B, C, or D to tell us what they wanted from a Coryell County list. Again I ask you to do so, and also those whose names start with E, F, G and H. Come on, help me out here.

Hi, I looked on microfilm and found land records posted in Deed books, but don't know how to get the actual record so I can find where William C. Hatton lived. Where do I find these records? Is there someone on this list willing to make copies of them for me? I will gladly pay for copy and mailing costs. Aldean [email protected]

Searching for living descendants of : David Brown, born 17 May 1870, IN ; died 13 Mar 1949, Coryell Co. lived in the Copperas Cove area. Am assisting a Brown researcher who lives in Washington and is not on-line. Thank you. Linda Emry [email protected]

Hello, I am helping an older friend do his family history. He is researching his great-great grandfather William C. Hatton. I have located William in the 1860, 70, and 80 censuses. I have been trying to find where William b. about 1818, was buried. I believe he died sometime after 1884 as I found him listed in the land deeds records for Coryell county. There after, his wife Susan, about 8 years younger than William, was listed 2 times. William and Susan had 7 children. Alice b. 1851, George b. 1856, Susan b. 1858, Isabel b. 1859, William R. b. 1866, and Lewis b. 1867. These dates are approximate according to the data taken from the census records. They were listed in the Gatesville area, 2nd Precinct, per 1870 census, and Gatesville, 23rd Precinct, per 1880 census. William was a farmer and I am wondering if he might possibly have been buried on his property. Does any one on this list know of any private or early pioneer cemeteries in the Gatesville area? I recently had some microfilm interlibrary loaned here to my library and checked for marriages for his daughters but they were not listed. Since I live in Oregon, doing actual on site research is not an option. My friend, Dan, already contacted the Coryell County Genealogical society. They were not much help. I know that William was in the Civil War and was injured, lost left hand, but he is not listed in the pension records. Where would I find out if the land he owned was a result of being given by the government for duty in the war? Any suggestions and help would be most appreciated. Willing to pay for copies and postage if any one has other avenues for me to pursue. Thank you in advance for your help.
