Mr. Wyly! I have been told you know quite a lot about the history and people of Erath Co. I don't have your email address, so I hope I can reach you through the mailing list. My grandfather (Robert Barker) and grandmother (Cora Walker) were married in Waco on Nov. 25, 1895 and moved to Cow Creek in Erath Co. I think my great grandfather and great grandmother lived in the same area, James and Nancy Barker. My grandmother Cora is said to have died around 1919 in Dublin, and to be buried in an unmarked grave at the Cow Creek Cemetery. My great grandmother is also buried there in a grave with a head stone. I have been trying for so very long to find information on my grandmother and her family. I have looked at all the census, writtin to Erath Co. Courthouse, and posted letters with Walker mailing list and Erath Co. mailing list. Still no luck. I was wondering if you, or any one you know may have information on this family? Do you know how I can research obituaries of Erath Co. from 1918 to 1920, or would you know how I might get school records from Mclennen Co. from 1888 through 1894? The only other information I have is that some part of Coras family came to Texas from Tenn. and that Coras mothers maiden may have been (Ro sh ay) spelling Roche, Rochet, or Rochette. I desperatly need to find more about her and her family. If you know of any thin that might help me I would be very greatful. Thank You William Robert Barker cbarker@tcsn.net
