Ola, I don't have all the cemetery listings for Erath Co., just vol 1 and vol 3 ,but they contain thousands of burials. I didn't come across the names that you listed but I will give you the HOGANS that I did find. Mrs. Daniel E.HOGAN Sept 3,1979-Jan 2,1958 Greenwood cemetery,Fort Worth,TX.

Hi Lee Bahan, I saw your query on the Erath Co. list. I looked up that name in vol 1 and vol 3 in my Erath Co. cemetery inscription books and didn't find a WYLIE STEPHENS. I don't have vol 2. There were a alot of Stephens, but not a Wylie. Sorry! Betty Stinecipher stinecipher@ofgeorgia.com

A number of kind people have suggested that I send for a death record on Wylie STEPHENS, 1878-1975, last residence Dublin, TX. I went to Cyndi's List to find out about ordering TX death records and learned that for people who d. within last 25 yrs, you must give mother's maiden name, father's name, and relationship to deceased. Those are precisely the things I want to learn, so I'm out of luck on the death record business re: Wylie STEPHENS until 16 Feb. 2000. I thought this info might be helpful to everyone on the list since fees for death record searches are non-refundable in TX. I have printed out the SS-5 request for Wylie, and will send if no one can find an obit or cemetery record for Wylie STEPHENS in an Erath Co. cemetery book or newspaper. Thanks for the research suggestions and keep them coming, please! Best, Lee Harlin Bahan

Thanks for the lovely welcome. I find it auspicious that the same person is hostess of the Grayson and Erath lists since I have research interests in both counties. My overall goal is to find the relatives of my father, Odell Clyde HARLIN aka Clyde Odell CLARK, b. 1923/24/25 in Forrest City or Jonesboro, AR. Dad once told my mother's sister that he grew up around Sherman, TX. In 1941, Johnson Co., AR, however, a Wylie STEPHENS and wife Wilma were made guardians of my dad. As I posted earlier, the SSDI contains a Wylie STEPHENS, 1878-1975, last residence Dublin, Erath, TX. Dad's guardian is supposed to have been some kind of cousin. My first objective is to find out if the Wylie in the SSDI was Dad's guardian. If they're the same Wylie, I'll study his genealogy as a means of finding out who were Dad's parents. This is being a really difficult search, so I appreciate your help. Thanks, Lee Harlin Bahan HARLIN, CLARK, STEPHENS, ROONEY, RIDDLE in AR, TX, and OK

According to the SSDI, the last residence of Wylie STEPHENS, b. 27 Jan. 1878, d. 15 Feb 1975, was Dublin, Erath Co., TX. Can anyone tell me what this Wylie's middle name was? Who were his wife and children? Did he ever live in Johnson Co., AR, where they also mine coal? Was this Wylie STEPHENS related to an Odell Clyde HARLIN aka Clyde Odell CLARK? Could someone actually living in Erath Co. look up athe obit of this Wylie STEPHENS for me? Thanks, Lee Harlin Bahan

John Calvin Click Born : December 26,1815 in Alabama Died : February 04,1869 in Erath County, Texas John Calvin Click is the son of Henry Taleaferro Click and Mary Elizabeth Burk. I would appreciate any information to document his stay there in Erath County. Or perhaps someone could tell me how I could go about getting this information. Thank you.

Got this from one of my mail lists thought you might like to have it. Linda There are new boards up at http://www.geneaview.addr.com New system! Pretty, and waiting for queries. If you want to start a surname discussion/query board, or a general (or not so general) topic genealogy forum, you can do so with a simple request. Be a forum moderator! Just ask. Site also has new searches installed, and access to SSDI!

Hi, I used to try to use my Spell Check, but that silly thing must be from England or Canada- it can't spell simple things like Stephenville, Hico, Bosque, Wyly, Huckaby, Selden, and a few hundred other common names and places. Maybe it doesn't like my Central Texas accent. Funny, Alaskans could place me in central or South Texas by my accent. Family researchers have also noticed the 1 letter change in some Oklahoma names. Some of my Hatchett ancestors had close cousins who spelled it Hatchitt and possibly Hackett in the Georgia Hills of Habersham. In Waco there are 37 ways to spell Shaniqua, all correct , according to the mother involved.

Hi, Are you refering to Tarleton State University in Styephenville? I attended there when it was john Tarleton Agricultural College, a Junior College. Their library does haver some Central Texas history. John Tarleton walked from Tennessee with the money for his PaloPinto Ranch, which was part of the funds he left to establish Tarleton State University, which now certifies more Vocational Agriculture teachers than any college or University in the United States, including its parent school Texas A&M . If you can't find their E mail address in Boig Yellow or others, let me know and I can look. I used to run E mail without the Internet.

<A HREF="http://www.tarleton.edu/~library/">Click here: Dick Smith Library</A> Evelyn, Here is a hotlink to the Tarleton State University library..... known as the Dick Smith Memorial Libbary which is the repository for census microfilm and other genealogical materials there in Stephenville.

One of the most interesting Websites we've seen is The American Colonist's Library, compiled by Rick Gardiner. This page contains links to major documents of the world that have helped shape the times and environments our ancestors lived in. It is the first link under "Genealogy Pages" on our "Link YourSelf" page and will remain on that page permanently. "Link YourSelf" is accessible from our main Self Website at http://www.selfroots.com (the link to "Link YourSelf" is about halfway down the page, right below the link to the GuestBook) Barbara seawolf@selfroots.com http://www.selfroots.com

I have both Whisenhunt (Carroll Co, GA) and Whisenant (Erath Co) in my family tree. There is quite a bit of info on families with both spellings of the name at the Whisnant Family Home page: http://web2.airmail.net/whisnant/index.htm Hope this helps! Carolyn

P.S. The Waco- McClennan County Geneaology and Regular library also has Ranger records and is on line If he served in the 1845 era in Mexico, the Texas Stete Library in Austin may list him as a deserter. There have been several PBS tv program , one telling how the Rangers in Mexico who were skilled at shooting 10 or 12 shots with both hands struck terror in the hearts of Mexican Indians and Comanches and Apaches and saved a pistol company from bankruptcy, ewhen Taylor and others returned to Washington saying Indian fighting soldiers should have 2 revolvers each, after the Rangers saved his neck more than once.

Hi, I see Mr. McCarty sent you the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Library contact info. If you visit in person, please take the time for the multi slide presentation given to groups touring the Hall of Fame. I have 2 degrees and some history teaching and I thought the slides were wonderful. TEXAS PARTISAN OR PARTIZAN RANGERS were not Texas Rangers, They were the Confederate version of Confederate home front Guards while most men were in the Civil War and Indians were coming back into Anglo territory, mostly Apache and Comanche. well into Erath, hood and McClennan counties. Capt. McDuff , their commander, was a misfit who was kicked out of the Irish Army, refused by the Union Army, and became a leader of the Partisan Rangers. They captured Germans from New Braunfels calmly travelling to Mexico to avoid the Civil War. Lt. McRae , a soldier trying to do right, was sent by McDuff to chase some nonexistant excapees and McDuff killed all German captors., then went to New Braunfels, built barb wire stockades and put women and kids in it. . These massacred Germans, loosers in a German Rebellion in Europe were buried on the Comfort, Texas school ground where, as long as the old school was open, flowere were placed on their monument as students raised the Texas and U.S. flags. I found this info in a graduate course in the Univ. of North Texas Library. They have an outstanding collection of Texas German language newspapers and English translations. John R. \Baylor's CENTRAL TEXAS RANGERS HAD BEEN COMMISIONED BY Col. Buck Barry , Texas Ranger and spiritualist as a temporary deputy to lead a posse to hunt a murderrer. Stories go he found all three (He was hunting 1) either hanged or shot trying to escape. He recruited in Erath, Bosque, and Comanche County and his main goal was to run anyone he could recognize as Indian to Abilene then Oklahoma. He shot some women and kids in Palo Pinto County Lipan Indian farms from his horse because they were going into their house for their baby or whatever and he said they were reaching for weapons. He was the first Governor of Arizona. They tell me Great Grandad Robert Wyly and a brother or two rode in one legitimate posse after 1865 with him, but not on the Vigilante raids- that was before the Civil War and their brother's son had married a Cherokee Princess, Mary Jane Buffington, in Mayesville , Ark. (She from Ga.) and he was active in the history of Tahlequah, Ok. ALSO- the Texas Scouts who rode with Gen. Taylor into Mexico are listed as "Texas Rangers" signed up for 6 months. This included Great Great Grandad Rev. & Dr. W.P. Hatchett , born Shipley (Pine Mountain- Calloway Gardens area in Georgia)) a church organizer in Gonzales and McLennan, Bosque, and Erath Counties. When these had served their 6 month's all but old Ben McCullom and his men went home. Taylor called them deserters but they saw no needto spend more time wanderring in Mexico saving the soldiers from Mexican Ambushes. They thought he had proved his point , so go home. ALSO- don't forger the TExas Collection in Baylor University covers all of Texas History, as Baylor was organized in 1845. This is not in the main library building, but is catalogued by the main library and they can direct you to it. It should be on line.

Hi, this may not be much help, but there was a Mr. Hogan in Stephenville, 1930's who ran a blacksmith shop near Ansil Looney's garage at the Bosque river on South Graham Street. Dad and grandad carried him plow sweeps to sharpen. They spoke highly of and to him.
