Looking for information on the family of John Marion Robeson/Robinson and wife Ellen Self. They came from NC to Fannin in the middle 1800's. My g.grandmother was their daughter, Lizzie/Sallie born 1867 in Fannin County. Other children were: Robert Kate Lou Ellen md. a Cooper Mollie Charles Any help would be appreciated. Faye Heffington Littlefield, Texas

Did any of your Hester's go to Houston County, TX around Crockett? Adison Hester maybe? Becky

I have noticed lately the Fannin Co. web sight is very active again, which is great. I'd like to put in a request for these family names again. They lived in Fannin Co. in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Jackie

That is how she has it written. Floy Hodge is known to make a lot of mistakes in the transcripts and she often used only part of a name or mixed them up. Also she used years ,never the rest of the dates and they were often wrong as being from another stone in the cemetery etc. For instance in her transcript of Oak Hill cemetery in Whitewright she lists about 35 names and then the sentence "and some other graves..." Well at that time there were nearly 3000 names , of the 35 names listed only 7 were correctly cited though not all the dates recorded. That Ray could be Rayline or a son or Gay or any combination of mistakes.If you don't know who it is then just make a note that another child is there until further info can be found. However her data is important as she did not 'create' the people, if they are listed and if you can tell who she meant then that means the stone was in that cemetery so its an important work. Many of the stones are gone that she caught in her records so I go over the lists whenever I am working on a cemetery because of that. Due to her pattern I have seen in dozens of other cemetery records I wouldn't bet on that being anything you could depend on. She often writes one name if a persons first and middle name are there. So it could be a name like Virginia Ray Bales or something like that ,which is not an uncommon use of Ray in a females names. I hope to find it before winters end. I must be missing something , it would fit under a small group of tree's is the problem. Lots of these are cattle trampled cemeteries and you can literally be standing in the middle of the cemetery before actually seeing it. I just hope it is not one that is plowed under, there are several of those in Fannin County, they are just gone. That area is a huge area of plowed fields, so unless it is in a little bunch of trees that dot the corners of these fields it might be gone. It is one of the largest crop areas of Fannin co.

I am also interested in the Allens Point Cemetery. I am looking for Henry Ward and Harriet Ward who are buried there. I have been there, but there were just field stones and no one that lived around there had a list of who was buried where. I was told that someone had a list, but when they moved they lost the list. These Wards are my great grandparents and I know they are buried there. I would just like to know where.

Hello Stevens Cousins; I have John Hubbard and Joseph T. in my database but have been unable to lock them in place yet with my Stevens, would love to exchange histories and names with you guys because I know all these Stevens were cousins. My bunch is from John Jackson Stevens b.1822 and then his son William Walter b. 12/10/1847 Alabama and then my grandpa Clyde Stevens b. 9/19/1890 in Bonham, Fannin Co TX. I believe they came a little earlier to Tx from Ala than some of the others but so many of the family names are the same like Noah, Bonnie, Ruby, Clyde and so on. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
