    3. Ms. Coombs, I was going to give you a brief synopsis on your ancestors but as I started digging, I have determined that a tremendous amount of the book is about your kin! I rarely ever encourage anyone to buy a book sight unseen but I feel this is one you should get, especially if you are building your own library. I do have one book I bought sight unseen and it was wasted money as it was more of a copy of a telephone book. In KEAHEY CLASNMEN REVISITED, P. 17, Archie is listed as the child of James Keahey, Jr and Lydia Autrey. P.25 listed him as Archie S. Keahey b. 12/31/1845; d April 23 1914 buried in Erath Co., Texas m. Martha Elizabeth Robertson b. May 4, 1844; d Nov. 13, 1934. She was the daughter of Tom and Peggy(Emerson) Robertson. Archie and Martha had 12 children I shall list below. I am using the words "with follow-ups" meaning their children are also in the book. I won't list their children's children, etc as it is just too long. This is something I do not have in a database at present so it's not available for me to just e-mail it to you. The 12 were: George Reed- 10 children with followups on 8 James Thomas John Wesley- 12 children with followups on 9 Emaline Martha -2 children with followups on both Ann Margaret - 7 children with followps on 6 Benjamin Franklin- 8 no followups William Henry - 10 children with followups on seven Odocia Mary Adeline - 4 children with followup on 1 Joseph Monroe - 8 children with followups on 6 Ella Malinda Myrtie Irene There is at least three more generations of each. I had been told to get this book for my GRAHAM line but did not want to buy it unless I knew my kin were in it. My husband and I made a trip to Nacogdoches, stayed at the Pine Creek Lodge Bed and Breakfast (out in the quiet{except for the frogs at night} country), met the author and her daughter, then purchased the book. I think it was $25.00 and is 275 pages long. It is spiral bound with a card stock cover. I would say you would be happy with the information on Archie and Martha's descendants. There are a bunch! Hope this helps, let me know. Joyce Dunn
