Tom, as you know I recently offered to do lookups for anyone searching for family in Forreston. Soon after the offer came for lookups in Milford. If a person is looking for someone in the general area it might be nice to know if any associated friends can be found near by. I'm not sure but it sounds like you are complaining about all the activity on TEllis. I certainly hope not because Ellis Co. mailing list is one of the least active of any to which I belong. The last two days have generated more information than the last several months. Mailing lists are just that, a group effort that includes all who are seeking information. INformation comes where you can find it. I hope you negative comments have not caused any one any concern. Carol Vincell

Jeanetta BALLARD was born in Ellis County in March of 1866. I have never been able to connect her to any parents, and most of the information I have is from census records. She was living in 1900 on the Ellis County census, but had died by the 1910 census. She was married to Thomas Dee SHIPLEY, who also had family in the area. I would appreciate any information at all on the BALLARD and SHIPLEY families in Ellis County.

Only one Trull listed in Milford TRULL, Lonnie 9 Apr 1897 / 9 Sept 1972 USN WWI No Jenkins in Milford in the book dated 1984. Hope we get a new reading done perhaps sometime next year. When the listing of the cemetery is done in marker order sometimes you find other family in spaces nearby; however Milford is done in Alpha order. Still it is an excellent listing. Susie
Did not see the name McLarty, These are Perrys: PERRY, Alma Elzie 1906-1943 PERRY, Andrew Jackson 1878-1952 PERRY, Bertie 19 Nov 1885 - 7 Apr 1960 PERRY, Donia 30 Nov 1886 / 9 Apr 1967 PERRY, G.

Reply: Several members of the Perry and McLarty families lived in Milford 1900-1925. Would you check the Milford records for those names? I sincerely appreciate your offer.
