Jul 26, 2003 10:48 PM MT Hi Jean, Just wondered if you might be related to my cousin, Margie Owens Coffey. Margie lived in Aubrey, Denton Co., Texas until her death in 1991. Her mom was Edna Owens. Would love to hear from you. You can write to me at my address above. I sent your inquiry on to a couple of new cousins that I have found on the net. They do have a Stalcup in their surname search. My niece was married to a Ronald Lassiter. Her name is Betty June Harrison Lassiter. They lived in Abilene, Taylor, Texas. Look forward to hearing from you. Happy digging, Millie

Susan (Susana) SMITH SHAW, Martha's mother, married to Napoleon SHAW, came to Grayson County from Lincoln County, Missouri about 1852. Susan died around 1885. Their children are buried in various cemeteries in Grayson and McLennon Counties, but unable to find death or burial of Susan. I'd like any information on Martha SHAW, and Susan SHAW Thanks, Ken Hestand Fort Worth, Texas

It has been 'said' for nearly 70 years that Elcana, Elkana, Elkanah, Elkeny, Elcany, Elkany, Elum, Elam, etc. GLOVER died in Sherman TX in 1862. He is 'said' to have been born in the Cumberland Region of TN. He did marry Mary Magdeline Stipes in Tazewell County IL in 1837. 'Said' to have rode with Quantrill during the Civil War era. I have not seen him listed in any of Quantrill's lists of riders. I would doubt that there would be a stone for him there, but who knows? Would you keep an eye out for my gg grandfather? I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks, Karl Rice

Researching Houseman/Housman/Housmon surname from in and around Van Alstyne. Obituary: Mrs. Sophronia Housman died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Marr, in this city on May 7, 1900, and the remains were laid beneath the sod in the Van Alstyne cemetery on the following day. Deceased was born in Illinois (Schuyler County) in (August 16) 1832, but when only a prattling child, her father, John Durall, moved to Texas and, with his little daughter, settled near Greenville, Hunt County (between 1840 & 1842). Here the happy period between sunny child-hood and hopeful womanhood was innocently spent and when the bud had blossomed full grown, she was married to James Housman (on April 20, 1848 in Hopkins County), whose joys and sorrows she shared in life and by whose side she now sleeps in death. Soon after her marriage she moved to Illinois, her native state, where they resided until 1884, when they returned to Southern climes and located at Van Alstyne, Tex., where one year later the husband passed into the mystic beyond (on December 10, 1885). Mrs. Houseman has lived in Van Alstyne since the death of her husband, where she has ever emphasized the blessed hope of immortality by her many deeds of Christian charity, she being a member of the Baptist church since childhood. Five children (of 7) survive here: Mrs. John Marr (Ida Mae) and G.W. (George Washington) Houseman of this city, S.H. (Sylvester H.) Houseman of Princeton, Mo., (Mrs.) W.J. (Mary F.?)Thurman of McKinney and Mrs. S.J. (Eliza) Bridwell of Streator, Ill. The writer has been intimately acquainted with G.W. Houseman of this city and S.H. Houseman of Princeton for a number of years, and takes pleasure in saying their rugged honesty and good citizenship are rarely equaled and never surpassed. With this brief sketch of this dutiful daughter, loving wife and exemplary mother we commend the spirit to God who gave it, and offer our sincere sympathy to grieving relatives who yet remain on this side of death's dark abyss. A Friend. Many Thanks! Chris Durall Morgantown, WV

I am the great granddaughter of STEPHEN H. COMB LANKFORD, who settled in Grayson County approximately 1880 and is buried in Everheart Cemetery, Grayson County. His son, EDWARD CLARK LANKFORD, was my grandfather, who was killed in 1929 while serving as a Deputy Sheriff in Olney, Archer County, TX. Also, my grandmother, Lona Nancy Jane Garner, was born in Bells, Grayson County, on March 19, 1891. She was the daughter of John D. Garner and Frances Burn. I believe there are still some Lankfords living in Grayson and Fannin County who are related to me. Carolyn Storie, nee Lankford Seattle, WA GRAYSON COUNTY SURNAMES: Lankford, Garner, Burn,
