\Would anyone have access to a book of Cemeteries in Ellis County, Texas. I am not sure where my great-grandfather was buried in the County or even positive of his first name...he died in the 1880's if family lore is correct. Variations of the name may of been Glenn Barnett or John Glenn or Glenn John Barnett. His son John Walter Barnett was listed in the delayed births of the county ( have conflicting birth dates of 1884, 1886 and 1888 thus the reason for looking in all the 80s ). His Father is supposed to of died when John Walter was two years old... the county doesn't have a marriage for his parents and haven't found a death records as of yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, nothing on the Newlands in Milford. So, I check the other indexes of the ECGS Cemetery books I have and I found only one. In thePalmer Cemetery is listed: William W. Newland 9 Nov 1850 / 10 Oct 1930 Is this one of yours? Susie

Pat Did not find any names you listed but Clements. Here they are: Clement, A. S. 9 Apr 1839/17 Feb 1909 Clement, Rebekah L. 9 Mar 1842/22 June 1901 Clements, Ben D. 18 Jan 1874 / 2 Apr 1929 Clements, Lula A. 31 Aug 1873 / 5 Jan 1919 Clements, Mariah 15 Oct 1816 / 2 June 1897 Clements, W.A. 9 Apr 1840 / 6 Dec 1900 Clements, Woodward H. 3 Sept 1896 / 30 Aug 1967 These are not you John but perhaps these will relate to yours. I will check my other listings and see what I can find. These were the only names relating to yours that I found in Milford Cem. Let me know if I can do any other lookups for you. Susie

Susie, Thank you. I am looking for Mattie Clemons Zollicoffer , William or Anna Zollicoffer. John Clemons (Clements) Rose Tribet. R. Hiram Hines , Maria Hines or Ada Hines Beaty. Thomas Beaty. I have run into a dead end with these family members. We went to the cem. and apparently there has been land plowed under??? Again Thank you so very much. Seraching from here is very hard.

Pat, I have copies of the Index for the Milford Cemetery, send me the names and I will look it up for you and then send you a print out of what is in the cemetery. Dian

Faye, I don't live in Texas, but my mothers whole family was from Bristol, a little town just outside of Ennis. So do a lot of reseach for there as well as go to the anual "Old Bristol Families Reunion". I will be there from the end of May until mid June this year. I live in Az and get over to the Mesa Family History Center at least once a week. They have all the census and a lot of other info right there. Don't have to send for it, makes it easy! Dian

Hi susie. Do you have any Newlands in that index? Thanks George Newland< West palm beach Fl

Thank you. I'll visit next time I get off from work. Cassie

Dian, thank you so much for info. I was given this email list by a lady that lives in TX. and is on the Dickson Co., Tn. mail list. I believe Will`s name was Walter Keele and possibly had a son by the name of John. I found a John on the SS# death index and last kown residence was Ennis, TX. John b. 1904, TX and d. 1977 in TX. Looking for parents and siblings for Walter or John. THANKS AGAIN. Faye Keele

I am looking for someone that has a cemetary book or can give me any info on a Will Keele that moved to Ennis, Tx. Will was the son of Thomas Henry Keele and Celia Doughtery and was borned in Tn., I have nothing on Will, except he might have been born in the 1860`s. Any info on this family would be greatfully appreciated. Faye Keele

Faye, I checked the index for the Myrtle Cem. in Ennis and found 2 Keele's listed. One on page 96 and one on page 124. I will be going to the library later this week and will look them up and forward the information to you at that time. Lets hope it is who you are looking for. When I find the dates I will make a quick search of the census (if it is the right Keele!). Dian

Sims Library is in Waxahachie, Tx.

I'm sorry, is this in Waxahachie? Cassie

THANK YOU, I WILL!!! Cassie

Sims Library is on Main Street several blocks west of the courthouse. It is on the south side of the street. The address is 515 W. Main St. Phone number....972-937-2671. You might call them first to inquire about which days they are open and the hours.

I'm curious... Looking for Hixon's and Wagner's in Ellis County. I've been to the City Records Office and the library in Ennis. Where is the Sim's library, please? Thank you. Cassie
