Posted on: Falls County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Falls?read=457 Surname: BUSBY, TUCKER, GRAVES, SWEENEY, BANKS, HARDWICK, JUDD ------------------------- Seeking information about Sarah L. Gray Seeley(widow of Dr. David Seeley)Busby, the 2nd wife of David T. Busby. David and Sarah married about 1851 either in Limestone County or Falls Co, TX. Sarah was shown on the 1850 Limestone County Census; no husband listed. David T. Busby purchased 1107 acres of land in the Sarah Pillow Survey in 1853 and his ancestors still live on this land today. David was origaially from Adair Co, KY, migrated to TX sometime after 1850. His deceased father, Matthew Busby, named his children and their spouses in a deed dated in Sept 1850. Apparently his heirs sold Matthew Busby's land in 1850 and most of them moved to TX. It appears that Tilford Busby and William D. Busby did not come to Texas but moved to Carroll County, Mo instead. David T. Busby and Sarah Gray Seeley Busby's death date and burial location is unknown. If anyone knows when they died and where they are buried, please contact me.

Good Afternoon to Everyone: My name is Melinda and I live in Va I just started searching the Steifer/Stiefer name. There are not alot of them, and very difficult to find, due to the nature of the diff. spellings.. I suppose!!! As you all know, I'm sure, its very difficult to search out of state....I need HELP!!!!!!!!!! Searching for anything on the following: Windell Warren Stiefer B: 1917 Falls Co (married Kathryn E. Mahon) s/o Orion Lindell Stiefer B: 1886 Blanco Co (married: Minnie Mae McCowan) s/o William Foy Stiefer/Sterifer B: circa 1858 possibly in Smith County, Jones Beat (married Alice Gertrude Byars) s/o G. M Stiefer B: 1836 Alabama or Carolina s/o Phillip Stiefer B: 1813 Carolina The only thing I know for sure, proof positive, is: Windell is the son of Orion and he is the son of William Foy. Wm Foy, took his family from Blanco to Falls Co to Travis Co, these 3 are listed on the 1920 census all living together. In Travis, where do I go to look for obit's Does anyone know, of someone doing look ups? It is my understanding that these 3 are butied in Travis County.

HAPPY 4TH of July I have 2 more cemeteries on the Falls County Page. Theresa

Looking for any strings at all about Benjamin Kemp who was married to Hettie Williams, possibly went by Rhoda. Have them listed as living in Falls-Milam in a story in written in 1893 as being married.Hettie was born abt. 1865, so they were probably married around 1892-93. Have been unable to find them in any index at all. Hettie's (Rhoda) parents and siblings all moved to Greer County, Okla early 1899. Benjamin & Hettie didn't follow, so I think there is a chance Hettie died or divorced between 1893 and 1899. Any leads at all would be greatly appreciated. This family has been a big mystery.

Surely in coming across the south, some members of the family could have been in Louisiana, but I don't have that information. I have been given the names of others who are members of the Talley family who are doing research. I have not spoken with these ladies; I believe they are members of the Austin Genealogical Society.
