Benjamin Reynolds was born in Eastland Co, to Benjamin Franklin Reynolds and Flora Viola Speck. Benjamin Ran a store in Ranger, my grannies only memories of him is that he'd put her inside of the candy case and let her pick out a treat. she was only about 18 mos or so when he died. she has no photo's of her grandfather and would love to find one. Benjamin was the son of John Reynolds and Jane Lampkins (also seen as Ray, but Benjamin's death cert lists her surname as Lampkins) Flora was the daughter of Nancy Wells Finley and Isaac Speck of Overton Co., TNN. Isaac Died when Flora was still a young girl, and her mother re-married to Solomon Frances Copeland and the family re-located to Eastland Co. where they lived the rest of their lives. Also searching for any information on Bonnie Ruth Ricker's family. Her father was Nathan Dempsey "Dempse" Ricker. He was born 1870 in TNN and he and his family moved to Eastland Co. in the late 1890's. First showed up on the 1900 Census. His wife was Mary Jane Bradford. Dempse had a brother, Benjamin Franklyn Ricker "Frank" who also came to TX from TNN at around the same time. with his wife Flore Bradford who was Mary Jane's sister. They both had several children who lived in and Around Ranger, in Eastland Co. I would love to hear from anyone around the area who knows of either of these families. thanks in advance, Rachell ==== TXEASTLA Mailing List ==== Checkout the other lists being watched over by your List Mom; http://mailing_lists.homestead.com/lists.html ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
