Is this wrong? Are you saying that James was married to a Nancy and was born in Ireland? This other person also has them from Ireland, but not until 1707...through two other James Greenlees before we get to the one you say was married to Nancy. Yes, I'd love to see the records you have. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I also emailed you some questions about Alice Emmaline "Kate" Greenlee...need to know more about her if you have the info. Did she remarry after Thomas's death, did she go back to Arkansas, what became of the children, and was Thomas an Indian as they say...and do you know why they called her Kate instead of Alice? Anything you could share might help. Thanks again.

Apparantly Barbara was buried in Carr cemetery which was destroyed by a the landowner. It was just west of Elwood. It was said that a small log cabin structure marked her grave. This was supposed to be a Cherokee indian custom. Her daughter Mary was buried there as well as Hugh James Mcrae's wife and children. Hugh James and Mary's husband were buried in Elwood cemetery. Why they were not togther I could not tell you.

Hopefully someone in the area will photograph him, hate to see him go unremembered. I've written about 100 different counties in the last 2 weeks, all over the US, the response is sad.

SMITH, W.T. Apr.26,1838-Jun.9,1928 Gone but not forgotten I transcribed the IOOF Cemetery - Ravenna years ago and have a few photographs of it. Since then I got a digital camera and hope to return and photgraph every tombstone. I live south of the DFW metroplex, so I won't be there anytime soon.

There is a very brave man buried in Fannin County. The VMI Corps of Cadets fought as a unit at the Battle of New Market, Virginia, on May 15, 1864. Two hundred fifty seven cadets were on the field. Ten cadets were killed in battle or died later from the effects of their wounds; 45 were wounded. The youngest participating cadet was fifteen; the oldest twenty-five. Could someone in please photograph the tombstone of William Taylor Smith, buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Ravenna. If you could find some biographical information that would be wonderful! A group of Virginia Military Institue alumni are attempting to locate the graves of all of the cadets who fought in the Battle of New Market in the Civil War. You can visit their web page at http://www.augustagavmiaa.info/new_market_database.htm . Read about the battle at http://www.vmi.edu/archives/Civil_War/cwnm.html. They contacted me about my ancestor who was a cadet then, and I volunteered to help them get the other graves photographed, knowing we have so many wonderful people on Rootsweb. ;-) This is what they know about him: Smith, William Taylor (1867) -Rancher William Taylor Smith, Class of 1867: New Market Cadet; Private, Co.

Fenner on the 1900 Census is that he died in 1892 and is buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery. Here is the link to the transcription: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-grovehill.html Fenner's in the transcription: Fenner, Infant b & d 15 Feb.1890 Fenner, Joe F. 1885-1952 Fenner, Joseph F. 20 Nov.1820-5 May 1896 Texas War of Independence Veteran member Shackford's Co.Col.

J.A. Gaines and pastor; buried Grove Hill; husband Joseph F. Fenner dec'd; mother of 5; 2 survive her. (She was Mary Fenner) The 1900 Census for Fannin County has the following Fenner information: Hunt, Mary F Head June 1840 Ohio Hunt, Orric M Son Sep 1886 Texas Duke, Mary F Daughter Apr 1867 Iowa Fenner, Joseph G. M GSon May 1885 Texas Fenner, Clara F GDaughter Apr 1891 Texas Duke, Lillian F G.DaughterSep 1895 Texas Based on this information, I believe Mary Duke (maiden name Hunt) was married to your Robert Fenner then married a "Duke" after Robert's death. Joseph and Clara are probably Robert's children. The 1900 Census says she had 5 children, 3 living, the 2 that were deceased are probably Fenner, Infant b & d 15 Feb.1890 and Fenner, William C. 24 Feb.1887-8 Sept.1888 bothe buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery. Hope this points you in the right direction and helps. David Womack
