Ewell Doak Sr.Walker born 1893 in Sherman, Grayson Co., TX. and his older brother Tom Walker they lived in Dallas Co., TX. about 1930. Ewell Doak Walker Sr. married Emma Wallace in 1913 in Sherman, Grayson Co., TX. and had Ewell Doak Walker II, born in Dallas Co., TX. on Jan 01 or Jan 07, 1927. Ewell Doak Walker II played football in the late 1940's to the early 1950's. Died in Routte Co., Colorado in 1998 from complications of a skiing accident. Tom Walker had a son named Val Joel Walker. My father said Val Walker may have been in to soccer. his birth is probably before 1930. I am trying to connect Thomas and Ewell Doak Walker as being the sons of Mary Ann R. Pitts and an unknown Walker from Limestone County Alabama. She was born there about 1846 or 1847. Does anyone have the 1900 or 1910 census of Sherman, Grayson Co., TX. ?

It is just east of Dallas - in Kaufman County, if my memory is correct. What are the names of your ancestors there? My grandfather, Fred McCree, was living in Forney in the 1890 - 1910 time period, and then moved in to Dallas. My gg-grandmother and g-grandmother are both buried in Forney. Vicki Hill

My great-grandfather Heinrich Dietrich Schutte and two of his brothers Arend and Gerhard came to Texas from Oldenburg in the mid 1800s and they along with most of their families lived in Galveston. I am searching for Arend's son Carl Herbert Schutte who was born in Galveston 24 Dec 1899. On the 1930 census he was living in Dallas with wife Amelia and daughter Beverly age 12. I heard from a cousin that they had an older son named Herbert, but I have not found him. I found Beverly on Texas birth index for 1917 in Dallas. I found an Amelia Schutte in Texas death index in Dallas in 1985, but do not know if it is the right one. If it were in my area, I would check at our library in microfilm of the local paper for an obituary. Does anyone know if microfilm of Dallas Morning News is available to someone unable to get to Dallas library? Can they be contacted by e-mail? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have any information on this family or could give me any suggestions or advice on further research of Dallas records.

Most of his children were born there. When he sold the property there was a promise to never tear it down. I have an old picture of it and there is a large fence with barbed wire on top surrounding the cabin. It looks like a one room cabin with a fireplace on one end of the cabin. There is one window next to the chimney. On the front of the cabin is just the door and no windows along with a covered front porch. Does anyone know where this is located? James Harrison Boydston was my GGGrandfather. Any help would be appriciated. Pam in Colorado

This is a great site for Dallas. I just spent alot of time looking at the old pictures . If you have any memories of Oak Cliff go to the Sunset High link and look at the ones they have. What a trip down memory lane . Glenda http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~jwheat/

Is it still in operation etc? Yes, Buckner's is still in existence. Now they have adoption services and provide places to live for children who need a place (not typically orphans, but where family problems cause the child to need a place to live for a period of time). They also have a senior center, provide supplies for Russian orphanages, etc. http://www.buckner.org/ My grandmother was placed in Buckner in the 1880's. Amazingly, my cousin was able to get from Buckner a copy of the papers from when she was brought to Buckner. Since I got a copy from my cousin, I don't know the cost for locating the record...but they obviously do have them available. Do keep in mind when you get the papers that not everything may be totally factual. After all, young orphans didn't necessarily have all the information on their parents, and neighbors or friends may not have known either. We aren't even totally sure of my grandmother's year of birth...she knew her birthday, but we have different sources from her childhood listing different years. Vicki Hill
