Hi, It is my understanding that old Records not still in Brown County or Erath County Archives are now in the Tarleton State College area - one of their libraries- either main Student library or Dick Smith Library. When I attended there Dick Smith was still living and teaching History. These records may be there, but not sure who, if anyone, has the time to do your lookups. Ask them. The Tarleton site on the Internet has been published a few times, or look through a Google window. Also, remember, some older Erath County tax records are in Meridian, Bosque County for time before Erath was organized. Many Wyly records are in Meridian. Before that , some of the earlier Records of Erath County are kept in the Tax and County Clerk archives in Waco, McLennan county. Before that, check out the Old Milam District of early Texas. Also, remember the tongue in cheek comments some Tarleton College Profs had, which could be easily misquoted. For instance, my wife and I met at Tarleton and were in one of Dr. Wagner's or Wagoner's Psychology classes. He told us, at the end of the semester, that this psychology book should help us work with students,if we were weak on horse sense, but if its teachings failed, try closing the cover and hit the child hard and low with the textbook.

Thanks, Some interesting curiosities you sent in this Wylie- Wiley message to Wyly stories in Georgia and Erath County Texas and Oklahoma. Any explanations? 1. There was a Cage- Wyly marriage in Georgia, but not on my Direct family line. This might have been from the Charleston S.C. Wyly families. 2. The Wylie Baseball team- Selden elderly and elderly from Thresher Crews repeated a similar story, which said that Ben Wyly 's family also had a Baseball team of brothers. Some of these brothers came to a Reunion and I had talked to 1 or 2 with similar stories. Janice Wyly slaughter of Roswell , N.Mex. joked about being the Bat Girl. This Team beat many Highchool and Tarleton and adult league teams in Cow pasture baseball and school fields. They lived in Crockett- Box- Pony Creek area on a ranch that Ben got in partial payment for the 3000 head of English Sheep that Ben Jr. delivered to Trammel and Crow, with connections to. Cage and Crow Bank in Stephenville. The sheep were moved on to Sheep country near Menard and San Angelo. Menard is still sheep country. 3.Also, Cousin Glenda Moring Neiderhoffer and "Guy "Moring " and "Cousin Butch " Moring are Wyly grandchildren. raised on Bunk Moring Ranch east of Hanibal Store and hill. Her family had connections to older Stephenville Families- and some report this includes a Cage or two. 4. The historic pages attached mention the insolvent of Wylie and/or Wiley families who were heavily involved in Hogtown (Desdemona) oil wells, which, with the Thurber Miners Strike under John L. Lewis, turned Thurber into a Ghost town. Some Wylys and Morings worked in Thurber, and one Wyly cousin married a Tackett, from the Thurber area. 5.When Ben, Fred and Ben Sr. left Erath County, they had a lumber yard and store in Stephenville and Fort Worth, before a flood removed the lumber downstream. They traded what was left for a drilling rig , Ben Sr. Became a Minneola, Texas Cotton buyer, and sons , married in Erath County, drilled in Southeast Texas Oil Fields. In the 3rd Generation, Ben of Houston, has retired from the Bacliff Marine Supply and Contractors. He moved into Uranium prospecting from planes across Texas into Colorado.He and crews cut the steel from Texas City Harbor after the ship blew up there, loaded with Nitrate. Ben and Red Adair went out to fight oil well fires and were on TV on the deck of a ship training Mexican- Pemex oil workers how to put out the fire raging at sea in a new Pemex well. One story says that a Wyly cut the cards with "Dad Joiner" and lost some area where the first Gusher blew in in Southeast Texas. Wyly Oil Company was sold to Sam and Charles J. Wyly of Dallas corporate offices. . THIS WAS NOT THE SAME AS THE WYLIE OIL COMPANY of Wylie, Texas, West of Abilene. Is it possible that Wylie and Wiley and Wyly families had all been in on Desdoma and Ranger oil Fields ? Could some researcher have seen the 3 names and assumed that they were all the same families and some just misspelled the name??? 5. Today I know of African, Cherokee, Choctaw, Scotch- Irish, and German roots of Wyly name, mostly from Tennessee to Georgia to Texas and now to Mongolia ,New Guinea, Australia and most of the United States. . If we were connected to Wylie- Wiley, it was probably in Ireland or Scotland. Can anyone shed light on this?

She was a long time sales lady at Cox's Department Store in Stephenville. I don't know who the Blakley lady was who taught your daughter in Walnut Springs. My mother, Vinita Blakley, taught in some rural schools in the area in 1918-1922 time period, and later she was a substitute teacher, but I think that was at Iredell. We didn't live at Walnut, and I don't know who that might have been.

Thanks to those who gave me information on A.K. WILEY + Mary L. FULFER. I found them both in the Exray Cemetery in Erath County. Anderw Kelsey WILEY, s/o John McNeil WYLIE. He married on Jan. 8-1892 in Erath Co. +Mary "Mollie" L. FULFER, d/o Isaac Joseph FULFER and Josephine Catherine FORD. They and their family was listed in the 1910, 1920 & 1930 Erath Co. Census. Thanks to ya'll from Erath County. Freddie B. Stewart, a transplanted New Mexican in Massachusetts, and we have lots of the white stuff coming down..............more to come!

From the "History of Erath County" compiled by the Erath County Historical Commission in 1980. Cage Wylie In 1868 my father moved to Erath County from Thorp Springs. He owned land at Wylieville, now X-Ray. Eventually there were eleven boys and two girls, in that order. I was born in 1910. We made our own baseball team; I recall seven boys living at home at once. I began school at Simms Valley -- but all I can remember is breaking my leg. Later I came to Stephenville and attended the high school. We made our own recreation; to take thirteen kids on vacation was unheard of. Later I've taken my son Kenneth to Big Bend and around in West Texas, as well as to Colorado, Missouri, and Tennessee. I've had many jobs -- on my folk's ranch, at sales barns, for the city, and for Lone Star Gas. We had a 1920 Model T which my father drove with his spurs on; he was a cowboy. My first car was a 1927 Model A. (One at a recent auto show was $12,000; mine cost $135.) Now I prefer the General Motors Chevrolet. I knew Violet Mauldin a long time but first took her out on a blind date. She was Drew Mauldin's niece; her parents had died when she was very young. A County clerk named Richardson married us July 14, 1932 -- and I was 21. Money was very scarce! My favorite sport is quail-hunting, and I always have a good pointer. We loved the country but enjoyed the city, the brick streets always meant town to us. I hope they can be preserved. Any holiday was an occasion in those days, and it was a treat to skip work, since the hours were sunup to sundown. Baling hay was done -- always in hottest summer -- on shares. Teamwork was very important, and you had to keep up. I worked on WPA -- 15 days a month at $1.25 daily. It was hard, but welcome. We built bridges, did stone work, and fenced rights-of-way; it wasn't bad. Our boss John Dean Dabney, Sr. was reasonable. Our family ran a ranch of 1100 acres, 300 in cultivation. All the Wylies were land connected. There was some branching out; one relative even bought a circus, but almost gave it away later because he didn't know anything about it. Aunt Pearl Wylie Cage did some banking, several did railroading -- the line was sold to the Cotton-Belt company. Some in the family speculated on Desdamona oil property and did well. At X-Ray, some of the ranchers in the area got a good deal of oil money in the 1920's. Young people needing advice might well consider that it's not what you make, it's what you save. That's what's important. Thought you might enjoy this!

Hi, Fred, If we are related to the Erath County Wylies, , our family Tree back to Ireland does not show it. Possibly they were connected during Oliver Cromwell's reign in England or before , or in Clan Gunn (Highlanders) or Clan McKethan (Lowlanders) of Scotland, before the Quaker Wylys left for Ireland and the Ulster Plantation homes. Other Dimmunitives of William as a sirname are Wylly, Wyllys, Willis, Willey, Wiley, Wily- Wyllie- Willie. Sometimes records in Family Bibles and others were mispelled by a careless or undereducated recorder.Land Records in Georgia list many early Wylly land holdings. Great Grandad Robert Augustine Wyly had 22 siblings and his mom's niece or cousin was his dad's third wife. Over half of these siblings had moved to Erath County area from 1865 to 1890, and the third wife, Martha Catherine Mitchell Wyly lived in Selden for long visits, and on the Plains around Friona. She is buried off the Gulf Freeway near Alvin, Texas. Robert's Great Great Grandad James Wyly came to the British Colonies with a brother Robert.He was a British Colonial Militia Captain and was born 1724 in Ireland.He married a Martha Haris in 1724 in Pennsylvania or Ireland. Robert-The first Robert and James were Quakers who toted guns and were herdsmen for Prince Albert of England. They found more money, as Great Aunt Agness Hatchett Wyly of Selden said, in mining lead in Mecklenburg County to make Cowbells for the Colonists. The first James died in 1772. A Third Wyly family, also Irish Quakers, came to Charleston, South Carolina - Charleston - records in Episcopal church library there for Quaker Irish who were welcome as good business men and family men. They came with Rev. Edmondson, the Quaker missionary who visited The Colonies and Ireland and England and Continental Europe holding Revivals. The Wylys above all had many similarities of naming patterns for parent, or kin- But I assume you have seen this 4 step naming pattern for boys and Girls. Check your Who's Who books and find the Sir James Wylie of a poor Scottish Lowland family who earned a Degree in the Osteopathic- Homeophathic Medicine of that day and cared for the Russian Czar and his hemophilic Children and was a Russian Army Doctor. he did surgery successfully when native Doctors would not try. There was once a Medical College in St. Petersburg named after him. Another Quaker Scotch- Wyly was awarded a Crest-for service in British Army- it was renewed in Glasgow by a Wyly in Sumatran Oil Fields. Also, some Wylies live in Hill County- Mount Calm and in Grosebeck- One was a Houston Security Guard and a Waco Teacher. He was also of Cherokee lineage- and says some of his family had dropped the Wyly- but I have no record of that. John Wylie of Northwest Erath County became a partner of John Chishum- Chisholm - former Paris, Texas County Clerk, who drove his cattle from Denton County though Erath County to the Concho- Colorado River grazing area from East Texas and Northeast Texas , and, when the cattle gained weight in the Grass, they would contract with Goodnight and Loving to drive the cattle with their herds down to the Pecos , then up it to Wyoming pastures and Army Supply depots. These trails did not go north through Waco. This was not the Jesse Chissum or Chisholm who was Sam Houston's Peace maker with Texas Indian Tribes. This one met with Indians in Torey's Trading House Creek, near Waco, and Comanche Peak, Hood County, and blazed a trail from a Red River Port to Yukon , Okla, and on to Kansas, where his Freight wagons and store supplied Army needs and cattle trains going East. towards Chicago area. Technically the Trail through Waco or McGregor was planned by a Railroad planner McCoy, and joined Chisholm's Freight Trail across the Red River. Some maps showed it as the McCoy Trail- the Tracks reached Abilene, Kansas at the same time as the Cattle from Central South Texas got there. Chechk this out on Google Search Windows- and, remember, The John Chissum of Broken Bow was a farmer who drove up the eastern trails towards Illinois markets. Spellings vary from one book to another in present High School reference books. FULFER- The Fulchers ran a diary for Dr. Vance Terrell of Stephenville. It was his Brown Swiss who , in some floods, floated down the Bosque a few miles and some lived. AINSWORTH- Dr Bryan Ainsworth of Waco gave me my first heart Carherization 30 years ago . He died in a plane crash near the Mexican Shore of the Lake (Amistead?) with some friends on a fishing trip. Today the Ainsworth heart Clinic in the old Safeway Building on Hwy 6 in Woodway, South of Lake Waco. some Ainsworth families have Waco phone numbers. Drs. Schoulz, Peper, Schoulz, Jr., Falcone, and others now work in Providence and Hillcrest Hospitals and their own clinic, with 2 visiting Drs. from Austin who specialize in heart Rythm treatments and shock and surgery. Dr Ainsworth's picture plus Croswqaithe and others are prominent in the clinic and hospitals , where some surgery is done. But that is more than you asked, Take care, Charles Wyly On Wed, 23 Feb 2005 13:15:29 EST Freorden@aol.com writes: > I have a Mary L. FULFER who married A.K. WYLIe on Jan 8-1890 in Erath > Co.

Do you Fulfer/Wylie researchers know about the Fulfer family research group? Vanessa DeShazer and some of her "cousins" have an active (Private) group.
