Thanks to everyone who is waiting so patiently. I have not spent much time in this line yet. I have mainly been working with my DeGuire line (also from Erath County). Most of what I have on my Roberts line is "word of mouth", mainly from my Dad. My dad is Rev James Robert DeGuire, and my mom is Martha Faye Temple (DeGuire). I would rather not give out to much info on them, as they are still alive. My Roberts line is through my dad. Dad's parents were Rev. David Benjamin DeGuire and Vermell Elizabeth Roberts (DeGuire). David was born 15 Aug 1887 in Alexander, Erath, Texas, and died 12 Nov 1977 in Gorman, Eastland, Texas. Vermell was born 9 Aug 1890 in Morvin, Clarke, Alabama, and died 21 Jan 1959 in Texas, probably around Desdamona. They were married 28 Nov 1911 in Erath County, Texas. Vermell's parents were James Desire Roberts and Rachel Thompson Crenshaw (Roberts). James was born in Alabama, and died Apr 1890. Rachel was born 31 Dec 1859 in Morvin, Clarke, Alabama, and died 2 Jun 1932 in Lamesa, Dawson, Texas. I have a Wedding Certificate for David Benjamin DeGuire and Vermell Elizabeth Roberts. The ceremony was performed by W. R. Shelly, Minister. I also have a Certificate of Ordination for David Benjamin DeGuire dated 9 Oct 1921, "by a Council of Baptist Churches", "convened at the call of East Cisco Baptist Church, at East Cisco Texas". I have a copy of an application for a Social Security card for David Benjamin DeGuire. I have a Death Certificate for David Benjamin DeGuire. I have found Rachel in the 1900 US Census with her children, but James had already died by that time. According to this census, other children of Rachel Thompson Crenshaw and James Desire Roberts include Joseph, Charles P., Benjamin F., and James E. I have a copy of a wedding certificate for Mr Ben Roberts and Miss Annie Carter. The wedding took place on 17 Dec 1905, and was performed by E P Perry. The certificate was filed in Stephenville, Erath, Texas. I have a copy of a wedding certificate for Mr James E. Roberts and Miss Sirvelia Chisum. The wedding took place on 3 Sep 1911, and was performed by Melvin R. Cox, Minister of the Gospel. This certificate was also filed in Stephenville, Erath, Texas. I would love to hear from anyone who can fill in any gaps! I would also love to hear from distant relatives! Thanks.
