Hi Shirley - I'm glad to know you're still alive and kicking and still on the trail. A couple of weeks ago I went to the Coryell Co. courthouse with a Willis cousin and it was a great experience. I'm so impressed with the county clerk's bunch - they were very friendly and helpful and all the records were completely open. They showed us to the basement where the really old records are kept and just turned us loose. We had access to everything there. We could make copies of anything - have you ever had the experience of a snooty clerk telling you that you could only have a notarized copy of a marriage certificate that costs $10? Not so here - we lugged the book to the copier and it cost $1. I've found a Howitt Martin in Stephenville who is the nephew of Sarah C. Martin who married William Morrison, Lucretia's brother. Have I already told you about him? He says that Sarah's sister, Laura Isabelle, married a James H. Rogers who was the son of one of Silas Jackson's sisters and George Rogers. Do you have any info on any of the girls marrying George Rogers? Howitt is going to try to arrange for me to get into the old Oxford Furniture Co. funeral records to look for Silas and Lucretia's burial records. I talked to the Oxford grandson a few years ago and he was rather rude about not wanting to look for anything. But Howitt knows him pretty well and said he'd see what he could work out. Hope your holidays are merry. Jan
