Surnames: Longmire, Thompson, Wallace, Loy, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1hB.2ACE/1511 Message Board Post: Is Billy Longmire - listed as an early settler of Fannin Co - my gggrandfather from Knoxville TN? My William Longmire (DOB 1823 in Knoxville TN area) keeps popping up with references to Texas. He was married to Nancy Loy from same area and with same year of birth. Most critical to me, he fathered Martha Clementine Longmire around 1847ish in the Knoxville area. She did not get to Fannin Co as she married Joe "TJ" Wallace who changed his name to Thompson due to issues with the law. Does anyone out there know any details about Fannin's Billy? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give. Kay Miller Mackelburg, Folsom CA

Just a note, many of you receive the Flashback and I wanted you to know we are in a catchup and getting everything set straight so the issues come out on time next issue and next year. The next issue is out in December and we are working on it right now so as to have it done and on time in the future. Free queries are allowed and anyone wanting to submit family stories and family trees just wonderful, make sure to send right to me and not 'on list' so you can include your mailing address or however you want readers to be able to contact you. If you are just submitting a story you can decide what name and further info to include. Pictures welcomed. If they are stories or letters to be placed online also let me know. That is a seperate subject than the quarterly. The quarterly covers Fannin County and this actually included a great many people in early Grayson so I invite those list members also to contribute if they wish. So many of their early ancestors lived for a while at least in Fannin Co. while awaiting land grants and such. Indeed Fannin County used to have Grayson county in it! Anyone with stories and pictures welcome. Love Christmas happenings and so on. Anything that won't fit in this issue will be held for the next in March. Susan in Texas

Brookins, 37, died at 6AM Sunday, August 6, 1939, at his home near Randolph. He had not been well for some time but death came unexpectedly. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2PM at the Randolph Tabernacle. Rev. Shaw, assisted by Rev. Simmons, conducted the last rites. Interment was made in the Randolph Cemetery with Pat Wilson of Leonard in charge. Mr. Brookins was born near Farmersville, August 19, 1902, the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Brookins. He had lived in the Randolph community for a number of years and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Daisy Brookins, and three sons, T. C., Roy and James; his father, T. C. Brookins of Randolph; two brothers, Charlie of Breckenridge and Floyd of Detroit, and two sisters, Elizabeth Antione, Dallas and Mrs. Ralph McGee, of Trenton."
