First, I would like to thank suzie5406 and pdsain for their input. So, here we go. The Blankenship and Vaden family had known each other for several generations going back to Chesterfield County, Virginia. Annie's mother, Mickey Austin, was a Blankenship. One Braddock Vaden married one Prudence Blankenship 21 DEC 1826 in Chesterfield Co., VA. Elizabeth Vaden married Pleasant Blankenship 28 MAR 1789 in Chesterfield Co., VA. Lemuel Vaden married Winnie Blankenship 11 JUL 1793 in Chesterfield Co., VA. And finally, William Vaden married Grace Blankenship 11 APR 1804 in Chesterfield Co., VA. It is my belief that the Vaden's and Blankenship's of Western Tennessee came from families that had known each other for many years and in some cases may have been marrying 1st, 2nd, or 3rd cousins. John W Blankenship was the son of Josiah Blankenship and Matilda Unknown. He was born November 30, 1821 in Madison, Alabama. Ann Elizabeth Vaden (?) was born November 20, 1826 in Virginia. I believe that Annie E (or Ann Elizabeth) is the same person as Elizabeth A Blankenship who is listed in the will of Delaney Dodson (D D) Vaden. Still looking for final proof. That would make her the daughter of Delaney Dodson Vaden and Mickey Austin Blankenship. The parents of D D are unknown at this time. The parents of Mickey are Stanton (or Staunton) Blankenship and Susanna Perdue. Ann's siblings were Richard S, Martha S, Dorothy Francis (Fanny), Mary Jane, Hanna W, Henry C, Henrietta, Matilda, Joseph Lock, and Robert W. In 1850, John (28) and Ann Elizabeth (24) are in Lauderdale County, Tennessee with one child, Thomas G (11/12). (see 5, below). In 1860, Census entry has not been found. In 1870, John (48) and Ann (43) are in Lauderdale County, Tenessee with children, Merry (19), Josiah (16), Elen (16), Johnana (4), Robert (1), and Matilda Vaden (27). NOTE: The age for Matilda match with the Matilda Vaden in D D Vaden's household in the 1850 Gibson Co., TN census. If this is the same Matilda, then Ann (Elizabeth) may well be Elizabeth A Blankenship in D D Vaden's will. In 1880, John (58) and Annie E (55) are in Lamar County, Texas with children, John Ana (or Johnana) (14), Robert (11), and Ida (7). In 1900, John (78) and Ann E (73) are in Hunt County, Texas with Robert (b. Dec 1868), Loutishe (b. Feb 1871, Robet's wife), and Jessie O (b. June 1890, Robert and Lou's daughter). John listed born Nov 1821 and Ann born Nov 1836 (actually 1826). In 1910, John is not listed. He died in April, 1910 while the census record date is June 1, 1910. So, based on census data, John and Ann had the following children Thomas G - b. abt 1849 Merry (or Mary) - b. abt 1851 Josiah - b abt 1854 Elen - b abt 1854 NOTE - Since 1870 census list Josiah & Elen as 16, could they be twins????? Johnana - b abt 1866 Robert - b Dec. 1868 Ida - b abt 1873 NOTE: This list seven children. The 1900 census states that Ann had eleven children, four were still alive. There are four children that are not accounted for. Ann Elizabeth Blankenship died February 22, 1902 and is buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery in Fannin County, Texas. John W (Wesley) Blankenship died April 22, 1910 and is buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery in Fannin County, Texas. Concerning their children. Further research is needed for verification, but this is what we have to date. Ellen M Blankenship married H S Drumwright 2 Dec 1874 in Lauderdale County, Tn. I have no other information on this couple at this time. Mollie Blankenship married William D Pennington 8 Nov 1871 in Lauderdale County, Tn. I have no other information on this couple at this time. Robert W Blankenship married Loutishie (Lou) Hulsey August 30, 1889 in Hunt County, Tx. In 1900, Robert is listed with his wife (Loutishe) and daughter (Jessie O) in his parents house in Hunt County, Tx In 1910, Robert is listed with his wife (Lou ) and daughter (Jessie O) in Hunt County, Tx. Also listed is Stanley Blackman, 15 black male/servant. In 1920, Robert is listed with his wife (Lou) in Hunt County, Tx. In 1920, Jessie Brown is listed as wife of Clifton Brown head of household in Hunt County, Tx. In 1930, Josie/Jessie Brown is listed with her husband Clifton in Hunt County, Tx. Listed with them are children, R W (8) and Ruby G (7). In Clifton's WW1 draft registration, Clifton Ralph Brown is listed in Rt2, Celeste, Hunt Co. Tx with next of kin listed as Jessie Brown. Robert Blankenship (1868-1926) - Buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Fannin County, TX (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-grovehill.html) Lou Blankenship (1871-1928) - Buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Fannin County, TX (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-grovehill.html) Clifton R Browne (August 5, 1885-Septempber 11, 1976 - Buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Fannin County, TX (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=brown&GScid=823989&GRid=8936523&) Jessie B Browne (June 28, 1890-January 26, 1970) - Buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Fannin County, TX (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=brown&GScid=823989&GRid=8936514&) ---- On a side note, R W Vaden married Eugenia E Gaines on Dec 1, 1868. R W is Robert Wylie Vaden (my wife's g-g-grandfather) is the son of D D Vaden and Mickey Blankenship. Eugenia died in 1871 due to complications during the birth of their son, Eugene. Robert married Mary Ann Motley. Their children are James Clay (b. August 06, 1876 in TN), Zadie (b. February 26, 1879 in TN), Claude Hartley (b. January 17, 1882 in TN, he married Della Mae Williams of Hunt County, TX), Edna Earle (b January 26, 1884 in TN, died as an infant), William Thomas (b. November 27, 1886 in Wolfe City, Hunt County, TX), and Annie (b. October 01, 1889 in Wolfe City, Hunt County, TX). Matilda Vaiden married George E Moore. Matilda is the daughter of D D Vaden and Mickey Blankenship. Vaiden is a common respelling of Vaden. Matilda is also listed living in the household of John W and Ann Blankenship in the 1870 census of Lauderdale Co, TN. If this is the Ann and Matilda that I think it is, then they may are sisters and the daughters of D D and Mickey. Elizabeth is 3rd born & Matilda is 9th born.. Their parents died in the 1850's, so Ann could have been Matilda's guardian until she married in 1871. D D has another daughter named Hannah W who married Thomas Jefferson (T J) Hailey. They moved to Fannin county sometime before 1880. T J and Hannah are buried in Grove Hill Cemetery in Fannin County, Tx. R W (Robert Wylie) moved to Hunt County, Tx in the late 1880's. Except for his son, Claude Hartwell, Robert's family moved to Stamford, Jones County, Texas sometime in the 1890's. So for a time, Ann Blankenship, Robert Wylie Vaden, and Hannah W Hailey all lived relatively close to each other. Wolfe city is in northern Hunt County, while the Grove Hill Cemetery is southern Fannin county. Probably about 20 miles apart. And Ann, Robert, and Matilda living in close proximity in Lauderdale County, Tennessee. There are other sources, besides what is listed below, that I do not have quick access to at this time.

The same microfilm records are available FREE to your local library through the Texas Library System, interlibrary loan, even if you live in another state. ( A condition of LDS filming them was a copy went to Texas Library system) Assuming your library has a microfilm reader/printer. Fannin microfilm records are at Paris Junior College.

Suzie: Actually I had forgotten to check the Family History Library (LDS) and they do have some Fannin County probate records on microfilm. One set is from 1838-1888 and is described as probate court minutes. The other is an index to probate packets, 1838-1904. So I assume that is pretty much what is at the courthouse, although I am not sure what probate court minutes are. I will order the films and check for my guy. Don't know why I didn't think of it, good thing you mentioned that the original books were microfilmed. Thanks again. Kristi Suzie Henderson wrote: > There is not an online index [yet].

Thanks, sounds like quite a process. It's probably a long shot that there might be something there, not sure how long my guy (my gggg-grandfather) was in Texas, probably only a few years. He is on the 1870 Mortality Index, which I understand means he died between June 1869 and June 1870. His full name is Alexander Middleton Higginbotham, but he went by Middleton. He was in Texas with an adult son, John Alexander Higginbotham, who married there and lived there a few years. He may not have any property there, but I don't know for sure. I am in Iowa and unlikely to ever get to Texas (not for a few years anyway) but if you have a chance to check sometime while at the courthouse that would be great. Just trying to tie up some loose ends. This guy lived in Tennessee, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and who knows where else during his lifetime, he traveled a lot.

There is not an online index [yet]. I was just at the courthouse...20 minutes ago...digging through the probate minutes. Here's how it works. Book #1 is everything from 1838 to 1904 [I think that's the span] These are on large pages with a handwritten list in alphabetical sections (but not within the section]. If the name is found there, they list on what pages that case is mentioned. Then you go to the "real" book and check those page numbers. The contents of the pages are a typewritten version of the originals which are in a "box downstairs". The typewritten version is actually a printout of the microfilms of the original books. That way individuals can take the books apart themselves and make copies and put the books back together without risking the "Real" Books to damage by the public. It works pretty well and they are very nice. In addition, there is another book which pre-dates Book One. It has the same information (because it was the original Book 1. It does not cite pages but cites the file number and box number of the "box downstairs". Sometimes these cases are ONLY found in the original book as the records were never actually typed up, I guess. They WILL go downstairs and bring the original file up from "downstairs" and let you copy it or whatever. YOU can't go "downstairs". There was a box that the woman could not get down off the top shelf and was going to have to get some big hunky man to get it down for her. They will call me when I can get to the files I need. SO...i will be going back to the courthouse and can check that probate record for you. Not sure when this is all happening but I suspect in the next few weeks. They do charge $1 per page for the copies and that can add up fast. Today I copied two files from "downstairs" which was a total of 27 pages (ouch).

Does anyone know if there is an index of probate records for Fannin County? Looking for the estate of Alexander Middleton Higginbotham, died 1869-1870. Thanks, Kristi

Thank you for all of these good suggestions. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2007 9:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TXFANNIN] Grave of James Strahan Reba, Please check these sites out .

Thanks, I went to the Chronicle's website, registered and checked out the article. It's a good one. Copyright restrictions prohibit my posting the entire article here or on the Fannin GenWeb. Anyone uncomfortable with the registration process on their website but interested in knowing more about the article may contact me off list. Their privacy policy was pretty good about not sharing anything with others; no sending e-mails if you as them not to and not sending you junk mail.

I should have mentioned that along with Martha Hall DEAL and Richard HALL in the hard-to-find cemetery, there are also WHITWORTHs and MOOREs. There's an interesting article written about this cemetery. You'll need to register with the Houston Chronicle online and do a search in the 1996 archive for "Fulfilling a Promise in a Cemetery" by Jimmy Jackson. Jim

I believe Martha Ann HALL (b. 18 Dec. 1837) married Lacy Dillard DEAL of Lincoln Co. TN before moving to Fannin Co Tx. Martha, Dillard, and Richard are buried in the Whitworth/Deal Cemetery in Fannin Co. Jim

Engravers made mistakes sometimes on the stones, and sometimes the information the were give was not correct, this could be the case in MR. Lindsey's death dates. :) Esther Lindsey wrote: >Has anyone found a gravemarker for C R LINDSEY died 1921. This was listed in a book I bought years ago.

Reba, Please check these sites out . These are sites are for Fannin county as well as ALL the counties in Texas/Oklahoma that touch the Fannin county lines. It is possible that your ancestor might be buried in any of these cemeteries. Also, browse each site for the listing of funeral homes in that area. If there is none. Do a Google search for "funeral homes in Delta county Texas", etc. Texas: _Cemeteries of Fannin County, Texas_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/cemeteries.html) _Cemeteries of Delta County Texas_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txdelta/places/cemeteries/index.htm) _Lamar County, Texas - Cemetery Records_ (http://gen.1starnet.com/cemetery.htm) _TXGenWeb - Hunt County_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhunt/hccem.htm) cemetery records _Cemeteries of Grayson County, Texas_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgrayso/cemeteries.html) _Cemetery Registration- Collin County,Texas_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/Texas/collin.html) Oklahoma _Bryan County Cemeteries_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbryan/okbryancemetery.html) _Choctaw County Cemetery List_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okchocta/cemetery_list.htm) _Marshall County Archives ~ Cemeteries_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/marshall/cemetery.htm) Visit Neighboring Counties TXGenWeb _Marshall Co., OK._ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmarsha/) _Bryan Co. , OK_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbryan/) _Choctaw Co., OK._ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~okchocta/) _Grayson Co,TX_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgrayso/) (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgenweb/map/txmap.htm) _Lamar Co., TX_ (http://gen.1starnet.com/) _Collin Co., TX_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcolli2/) _Hunt Co. ,TX _ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhunt/) _Delta Co.,TX_ (http://gen.1starnet.com/delta/) If you can not find out information there, then you can try looking at: _Find A Non-fam/ Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records and Online Memorials_ (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi) or _RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project Global Search_ (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi) At this one, you put in the information and see if there is anyone else out there that is researching the same ancestor. You might get lucky, but just remember, just like anywhere else....the information may not be correct unless it has been DOCUMENTED. Who was his parents? Who was his wife? Where were they married? Who are the children? thanks. Debra ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

What about other cemeteries in the area? How could I find out about their interment records? Do they have addresses where I could write to them?

Strayhorn is one of the spellings I have seen for Strahan.

He probably died about 1876-1877 in Fannin County. My first guess would be around Honey Grove, as that is where his two sons were born in 1871 and 1876. It is likely that the grave isn't marked. My second thought is around Paris, as that is where his widow remarried in 1877. This is a Great-Great-Grandfather. Would the cemeteries in those two areas have cemetery books that recorded all burials whether there was a gravestone or not? Would it be possible to write to them? My aunt and I found my great-grandfather's grave and place a marker on it, at another location by using the cemetery book, but of course it was a much later date. Any information would be very helpful.

Thanks so much for the information. I will keep looking. I haven't tried looking for the probate of a will yet.

Thank you Suzie. The way I had my screen resolution set, I wasn't seeing the download arrow way off to the right. You're right, it's faster even page by page. I'm not crazy about their viewer though.
