Surnames: Nettle Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AiB.2ACE/935.1 Message Board Post: I am currently trying to gather information on my Nettle(s) ancestors for a presentation I am scheduled to provide at the annual meeting of the Woodland Cemetery Association, near Kirvin, Texas where I grew up. I have some publications relating to the Nettle family members, such as their going to Brazil after the civil war, and Captain Dave Nettles involvement in the capture and hiding of cannons associated with the civil war. The documents I have are a 1931 Houston Chronical article, and a history of Freestone thesis prepared for the Fairfield Recorder around the same time period I think. Also have a copy of the Freestone County History first edition published in 1978, which discusses Dave Nettles assistance in quelling a mob. I can mail you copies if you furnish your mail address. I live in San Antonio, Texas, telephone number 210-695-9198. My deceased father Batchelor Nettle told many family stories I would like to research more. I recall him saying our Burleson family connection had something to do with the creation Baylor University. I'ed greatly appreciate any information you might have of the Freestone County Nettle(s) and Burleson family relationship and activities.
