Thanks to all of you who responded to my query about the 1910 census and my family the "Monk's" I finally found them with some help on the LEON co. 1910 census. The transcriber had put their name down as MORK. Anyway I finally found them and now on to 1920. I did find out some more info on the 1910 census. There's was another son that I didn't know anything about. His name was Dewey Monk and he was 7 on the 1910 census. All the children along with the parents were born in Texas. Here's what I have so far: 1880 Brown county census William Monk 45 Mary A. 32 Mary A. 15 Jno. W 10---should be 13 Martha 8 Robt.

I believe that he may have died. I have some cemetery info from Freestone county and Leon county. I looks like Richard and his family lived most all of their life in Freestone county. I would love to find any of their descendents or that of Maud Monk/Nanny. I don't know when she died. I know that her husband died in 1965 in Teague. Any and all help is most welcome. I don't care how little or big it is--------anything will help. Thanks so much for your time. Andrea monkees5@msn.com
