My grandmother Elizabeth Keith died Feb.2,1895. After the death of husband Nichodemus Keith in 1853 I believe she married a John Leonard Uzzell so I dont know which name she is buried under. >> Peggy Thompson. I checked the Nichodemus Keith book, publ. 1987, by Roy Mitchell and there he gives two mrriages for the widow Elizabeth Keith, 1st to a Mr. Uzzell (no given name provided) and then a marriage date in 1881 to a Brumbelow. I also viewed Hudson & Cawyer for any possible listing of any Elizabeth that would have been about the right age and there were none. There are graves marked with field stones. This is a small cemetery....there is one listing of a Steve Keith but no dates. There are several Keiths buried at Alexander Cemetery and I assume the Steve Keith at Bowman Ridge is the father of Laura Keith that married James Marion Head. Keiths & McCarty are connected in several ways; William Albert Keith who married Alice Weatherly...this couple buried at Alexander. Alice Weatherly's mother was Cynthia Jane McCarty Weatherly----buried at Clairette. William Albert Keith was son Charles Jackson Keith; and was grandson of William Stephen "Little Bill" Keith. The BRUMBELOW and KEITH families intermarried on more than one occasion. Bill McCarty Odessa, Texas http://members.tripod.com/cindyradway/Erath/erath.html
