I think some where along the line I have been dropped from the Coryell email list, or people have stopped emailing. Jack Carrigan carrigan@cox-internet.com

Hello Coryell, I am in search of anyone researching or having information on the family of Marion Sims who married Jane Clark in Coryell Co. on August 9, 1858. I believe they later moved to Williamson Co. or Bell Co., but I do not know when. Happy to share what information I now have. Keith Reed Arlington, Tx.

Dear List Members, Have new pictures up at: http://www.htcomp.net/ccgs/ccgsindex.htm Bobbie

I'm searching for information on Queenie Vesta KELLOGG (b. 1884, Florence, TX; died 1973, Coryell Co., TX) married to Richard Moses CULP. I'm new to genealogy and am not sure how to find out more information on my own. Any tips or information would be greatly appreciated!! Ms. Grayson Murray

This is really quite exciting!! I had information to share with Martha Barker about the children of Josiah CULP and Rachael EATON. I'm also looking for information about their parents. I have lots of information on the CULPs of Coryell County. Josiah CULP b.1819, Georgia; d. 1879 Father was Henry?? No info. on mother. Rachael EATON Father was Richard EATON. No additional info. If you have any additional information, please email me. Thanks!! Ms. Grayson Murray

Hi, I am new to the Coryel Co. list. I'm interested in finding information about the family of William Cordra Maples, Jr., who migrated to Coryel Co. in the mid-1800's. His son, and my g-grandfather, was Reuben Amos Maples. His daughter, Maidie Velma Maples, was my grandmother, and was born in Gatesville in the 1880's. The family evidently moved to Bell Co. before 1900. R. Amos was married to Sarah Carter. They are buried in Little River-Wilson Valley Cemetery. If anyone has any information on these families, I would appreciate it. Judy Freeman Pajares

Hi listers. Trying to find out information about the children of Rachel Eaton and Josiah Culps children. Specificly if any of their daughters married a Carodine. I found Rachel and James Carodine living with Rachel (Eaton)Culp and they were listed as her grandchildren. I have been unable to locate any information about a Culp, Carodine marriage. I believe it to be Rachel and Josiah's daughter Elizabeth, that married a Carodine, but can not be certain. Rachel Carodine and her husband Artemus Hudson are my gggrandparents. Any information, ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated. Martha W. Barker

Dear List Members, I have not burdened you with these in the past, but since we are all genealogists and there is an off chance you might not have seen this. These quotes are from copies of actual correspondence received by the Family History Department of the LDS Church: Our 2nd great grandfather was found dead crossing the plains in the library. He was married 3 times in the endowment house and has 21 children. For running down the Wheelers, I will send $3.00 more. He and his daughter are listed as not being born. I would like to find out if I have any living relatives or dead relatives or ancestors in my family. Will you send me a list of all the Dripps in your library? My Grandfather died at the age of 3. We are sending you 5 children in a separate envelope. Documentation: Family Bible in possession of Aunt Merle until the tornado hit Topeka, Kansas, now only the Good Lord knows where it is The wife of #22 could not be found. Somebody suggested that she might have been still born--what do you think? I am mailing you my aunt and uncle and 3 of their children. Enclosed please find my Grandmother. I have worked on her for 30 years without success. Now see what you can do. I have a hard time finding myself in London. If I were there I was very small and cannot be found. This family had 7 nephews that I am unable to find. If you know who thery are, please add them to the list. We lost our Grandmother, will you please send us a copy? Will you please send me the name of my first wife? I have forgotten her name. A 14-year old boy wrote: " I do not want you to do my research for me. Will you please send me all of the material on the Welch line, in the US, England and Scotland countries? I will do the research. Further research will be necessary to eliminate one of the parents. And to close, this is a query I actually received this a.m. In the State of Minnesota, when a husband passes away is his wife entitled to any of his assets? They have been married 17 years and she did sign a post nuptial agreement. Bobbie

Hi, I would like to know is someone could do an obit lookup for me on the following people. If not, how can I go about finding out if there was one and where to get of copy of the obit? I live in Iowa, so I'm not sure how to look for the information from here.

Does anyone know if there are any of the medical records of the early doctors and/ordruggists in Gatesville that have been preserved? What about records of the early businesses, particularly the licenses for them? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Donna S. Boyd

Cortell Co. List, I am researching the family of Isom Clark and his wife Jane C. (Williams) Clark. They are listed on the 1850 census of Van Zandt Co., Texas and are next found in records of Feb. 1853 receiving a Land Grant which was eventually in Coryell/Lampasas Co's. This grant was partially in Coryell and partially in Lampasas Co. near the Copperas Cove and Kempner area. Shortly after receiving this grant, Isom died. Records indicate that he was dead by 1857. Jane remarried a man named ? Simms sometime, but I do not know his first name or where they were married. While living in Lampasas/Coryell Co. a daughter of Isom & Jane named Mary Manerva Clark was married to James Sexton on June 22, 1858. This Mary M. (Clark) Sexton later married David Watkins in 1864 in Williamson Co. and then lived in San Saba and Burnet Counties. That second marriage took place after James Sexton was killed in the Civil War in 1863. I do not find Jane (Williams) Clark/Simms on the 1860 or 1870 census anywhere. She is next found living in Bell Co. on the 1880 census living with her son-in-law and daughter, Lewis Riddle and Rachell (Clark) Riddle. Jane is listed as Jane Simms, 74 years old, WIDOW, mid-wife. This means that Mr. ? Simms had also died before that date. Isom Clark and Jane C. (Williams) Clark had 19 children. Many of them were in Burnet/Bell/Williamson/San Saba Counties during the 1860's, 1870's and 1880's. I would be happy to share information on this family. I have information on many of them, but need information on Isom and his wife Jane. Keith Reed Arlington, Tx.

Hi Bobbie I love those pictures. Did you ever get your pre Fort Hood map of Coryell Co. I saw the one you have posted, but its got that old Fort on it. The one they sent me was, I think 1940, and it had all the roads, schools, communities, cemeteries, etc. for that area. Cheers Cassie

Dear Coryell County List Members, Another two pages of pictures have been added at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcoryel/ Bobbie

To all, I just posted my transcription of Saga of the Beatys, compiled by Burlene Hilton, written by Ruth Hold Payne. It is a small phamplet sized book, an illustrated family history of the some of the Beatys from Fentress County, Tennessee. The photos are posted along with the text. It includes an account of David Beaty and others who migrated to Coryell Co. in the 1850's. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bp2000/fentress/ Enjoy... ..Mike Allen

James Logan lived in Arnett, Coryell County, Texas when I was a child in the 50's. James Logan's son, Vernon Logan, bought the small rock house for his parents from money he saved while in the service during WWII. His daughter and Son in law, Gladys and Bee Thompson, (my grandparents) moved into his little rock house in Arnett in the early 50's to help care for Laura, his wife, who was ill. After Grandma Laura passed away they stayed and cared for him until his death. They ( the Thompson's) lived in the Logan's little rock house until about 1988 when they sold it and moved to Evant. I was in Coryell County in 1998 and the house is still there although no one lives in it now. Dad told me he remembers his Grandpa Logan having a BlackSmith shop down the road from the house in Arnett in the late 40's. I would like to make contact with anyone related to or researching this family in Coryell County.

I can't see nothing down here but concrete and tall building. Does anyone know if the Bluebonnets are out in great numbers at this time? Where would be the best place to see them and take pictures? My son, my granddaughter and I were wanting to drive up towards Brenham or Chapel Hill and Washington on the Brazos and see the Bluebonnets. Any one know? Thanks Cassie

Dear members, We have a new album of pictures on our Genealogical site at http://www.htcomp.net/ccgs/ccgsindex.htm Bobbie
