A happy good morning from Massachusetts. Searching for anyone who may have information on the AINSWORTH Family.... Levin Autor AINSWORTH [my uncle] b. Jan 24-1872............looking for place of birth? d. 1953.......................I believe in Mountainair, Torrance Co NM? He was issued a 320 acre parcel of homesteaded land on May 26-1920 in Torrance County New Mexico near Mountainair. He was the son of: Hyram & Matilda (House) AINSWORTH......no other info Married July 2-1911 to: Julie Belle ROBERSON b. Aug 21-1879 Duffau, Erath Co Tx. d. Mar 11-1970 Mountainair, Torrance Co NM daughter of: Thomas Henry & Matilda Ellen (Raney) ROBERSON I have a handwritten letter from Matilda Ainsworth that was postmarked Nov 10-1924 from Cisco Tx. Addressed to Mr. L.A. Ainsworth, Mountainair New Mexico. At the top of the letter was listed "Ranger Texas" and dated July 6-1924....... The letter was mailed in Cisco Tx., 25 miles west of Ranger, 4 months +4 days after it was written. In it Matilda said that she would be 86 years old on the 29th of Oct 1924, which means that she was born sometime in 1838? She also mentioned that she hadn't seen Julie and Levin for over 10 years. We believe that they were one of the wagons that were with my grandparents who arrived in Torrance County New Mexico about 1911 If anyone is interested in reading the letter, e-mail me direct and I can down-load you a copy that I have transcribe exactly as it was written. e-mail address: freorden@aol.com Thanks for reading, Freddie B.

Dear List Members, Lets have a Roll Call this weekend. The Roll Call will begin on Thursday Morning April 18th and continue on through Sunday evening April 21st. (PLEASE DO NOT BEGIN TO SEND YOUR ROLL CALL POSTINGS UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING.) Post your Surnames, dates townships if known and if you are posting to multiple counties that I take care of, be sure and mention county. If you are posting to a county along a state line when I take care of lists on both sides, you might also mention the state. You are welcome to post as much information as you wish and as little as long as there is a Surname, county and or time period. Be sure and watch the Subject line and CHANGE IT TO MATCH YOUR ROLL CALL POSTING to encourage members to read your message, such as ROLL CALL: SMITH, JONES, KELLETT 1830-1870 COUNTY NAME. PLEASE DO NOT JUST HIT RETURN AND TYPE IN YOUR INFORMATION!!!! CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE AND DELETE THE LAST MESSAGE LONG WITH TAGLINES. Following these instructions will make this a much better Roll Call for all our members including yourself. For those members who do not like Roll Calls, just delete the messages and know that come Sunday night - it will be over. I continue to appreciate your support. It is because of each of you that our list is as strong as it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Dear List Members, The First Quarterly Report for 2002 is going to be just a little different than the one I usually send to the Mailing Lists I take care of. I tore my Rotator Cuff in November of last year and I find that I cannot spend long hours typing on the computer during the healing process, therefore I am going to send out one message to all of my lists and skip posting the membership numbers this time. I promise to get back to our normal reporting next quarter. Typing over 200 messages is just more than this shoulder and arm can take. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you” and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. If you do notice that one of our members has a virus, please do not post their name and e-mail address across the list. Let me know and I will take care of the problem. Most likely the member already knows and is in a major state of stress. Receiving messages of each of us will only cause his or her stress level to rise. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will receive an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

That is a great find you gave us on the Reb and Yank official records. In only a few minutes of looking I made a couple of hits and am sure others will follow. By the way, if any are interested in the 10th Texas Infantry during the so-called Civil War, the URL below is a wonderful place to look. A number of men who served in that unit are buried in Eastland County. There are several in the Pioneer Cemetery at Ranger where the Sons of the Confedercy placed a marker to that effect. Scott McKay of Georgia is the webmaster and became interested in the 10th Texas when he and other re-enactors picked Co. K of the 10th to represent at encampments. While battlefield hopping a while back I met by accident a park historiqn. When asked what man he protrayed he said: Capt. Overton Davenport. He is my great-grandfather and buried in Pioneer Cemetery. McKay has had some help from myself and others, but has carried most of the load on his shoulders to produce the great website. It would be agreat help if by looking at the roster and letters (there is much more) you might find an ancester or someone you know something about and offer your knowledge to Scott. Overton Davenport (also a former state representative from Coryell County), and brothers State Sen. Jouitt Harbert Davenport and John Andrew Davenport arrived in Eastland County about the time the railroad did. Jouitt published the county's first newspaper, The Eaastland Review, in 1876. The office was in a frame building on what is now the northwest corner of the square where Walters Grocery was for a number of years. I believe J.H. was Eastland County's first senator after the creation of the county government. He was serving as such for Hamilton and other frontier line counties when he moved from Corell County to Eastland County. He and his wife are buried in the Eastland Cemetery. http://members.aol.com/SMckay1234/index2.htm

I want to thank each of you for helping to keep our list running smoothly while I was spending Christmas with three of my children and their families in Delaware and Maryland.

I am doing better, still weak and coughing but on the road to better heath. One other problem while I was away, I had downloaded a huge amount messages on my laptop while in Delaware and my laptop crashed.

I will be checking my e-mail about once a day, usually late in the evening and if there is a real emergency, contact me personally KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net Let me know what the problem is in the Subject line if possible.

Searching for any information on Shirley Higginbotham Bryant born 26Apr1891 maybe in McLennan Co, Tx. Her sister Sarah Frances Higginbotham Daffern born 28 July1892. And sister Emma Bell Higginbotham Vincent. I heard they lived in Eastland for a number of years.

Which line of Davenports leads to you? I might be able to help a bit in that. Joe Davenport

Hello Marcia and also Julie, I too, will jump in on your conversation to say that I have STEWART, ROBERSON, RUSSELL & AINSWORTH kin from them thar parts......... Any one else? Freddie B Stewart in frigid Massachusetts

Okay Julie, I will take your advise and ask a question. Do any of you know of any Harts that married an Elder who lived in Texas?? In Eastland County we have the names we are searching of Ervin, Reese, and I think maybe Grissom. Will greatly appreciate any info.

Gloria Sorry but my Harts do not include one who married an Elder. My Hart family moved to Limestone County TX from Tenn in about 1870. My gg grandfather William Columbus Hart (known to family as Clum) shows up in Eastland County in 1900 census with wife Martha Francis Johnson Hart and son Virgil. Marcia Hart Wilson
