Barbara > > > Hi Barbara, Here is some more information: Of Jefferson Weatherford's children by his 1st marriage I have the following: Harbard S. Weatherford - b. abt 1834 Ill - d. it is thought before 1890 in Dallas Co., Tx md Margaret Neely on 7 June 1858 in Dallas Co., Tx I have only these children so far for Harbard & Margaret: Addie - abt 1862 T. Jeffrey - abt 1865 I have Harbard and his family in the 1870 census for Dallas Co., Tx but have not located them in 1880 yet. Benton Burrell Weatherford - b. abt 1837 in Illinois - married a Sarah A. B. and here are the children I have so far for them: Sam N - abt 1867 Perry D. - abt 1870 Mary M. - abt 1875 Sarah H. - abt 1877 I have Benton and his family in the 1870 census of Dallas Co., Tx and the 1880 census of Hood Co., Tx Of his children with Mary Stadden I have the following info. Thomas - b. abt 1841 in Ill - based on the 1870 census I think he married a lady named Margaret. In that census they are shown with a son William, age 4. Living with them is a James Perry, age 11 b. in Texas. I have wondered if this is not the James Perry who later marries Edith Weatherford. Milbrey Weatherford - b. abt 1844. All I have on her so far is that she is supposed to have married someone named A. B. Gillespie. So far I have not found them in census records. And now for the children of Jefferson Weatherford and Sarah Martin: Ellen Weatherford - b. 3 Jan 1853 - md. 1st David Lovett on 9 Feb 1871 - md 2nd to Edward H. Samuel on 30 Aug 1878 Children include: Syrena Lovett - abt 1873 John Lovett - abt 1875 Will Lovett - abt 1876 M. C. Lovett (male) - abt 1878 Lavenia Samuel Richard Samuel Ella Samuel Edward Samuel & Ellen and their family are in the 1880 census in Dallas Co., Tx Syrena Weatherford - b. abt 1855 - md 24 June 1869 to William Thomas McKee. They are listed in the 1870 census of Dallas Co., Texas. They had no children at the time. I have not found them in the 1880 census yet. William Edith Weatherford - b. Sept 1856 - md 10 Oct 1875 to James H. Perry. In the 1880 census James Perry and Edith are in Dallas Co., Texas. James is listed as age 22 which would fit with that James, age 11 mentioned above. The 1880 census shows them with Ollive (female), age 4 and Thomas A. , age 2. I was given the names of other children as Samuel Newton Perry, James Ira Perry, and Seth Perry. Hope this helps - take care - Emma
