I received an email about 10 days ago about the Larkin family who lived in the Ravenna area of Fannin ( close to the Grayson CO. line) I have accidentally permantly lost it in my mail program. If you are on these lists please resend. susan
I haven't read of any deaths in the earthquake there is another I have papers on somewhere that covered the Savoy area in Fannin and over to the Bell's area, but it occurred at an earlier time and the only injuries were from falling mud chimneys. I don't believe anything but minor injuries happened. I will be going to the library hopefully this week to get mor eof the newspaper index to add and find some missing papers of the 1899 directory. The newspaper index will tell if anyone was killed. Kathy Pennycuff wrote: > > Does anyone know anything about the Earthquake in Grayson Co on Oct 22, > 1882?

Does anyone know anything about the Earthquake in Grayson Co on Oct 22, 1882?

TOWNSEND and Mary AnnBarbara WILLETT TOWNSEND, lived there at the time. I found one of their infant sons, Hanserd Knolly TOWNSEND, listed on web page as buried in Brogdon Cemetery in Grayson Co. His date of death is Oct 24, 1882, just 2 days after the earthquake. I am wondering if the quake had anything to do with his death or if there are newspaper artiticles or info around for this time frame. My grandfather (Liston's son), William Mose TOWNSEND is listed as born 1883 in Pottsboro, Grayson Co, TX and another sister was Mary Lydia TOWNSEND born 1886 in Denison, Grayson Co, TX. Delayed Birth Records showed Liston's occupation as "druggist" from Denison in 1886 and "farmer" in 1883, living near Pottsboro. Thanks for any help on my TOWNSEND's or Grayson Co info.

This was passed to me by a fellow TXGenWeb volunteer: It looks like something genealogist would enjoy. Susan South Carolina Mystery Included in New PBS Series History DetectivesColumbia, SC...The new PBS series, History Detectives, premieres on SCETV Monday July 14, at 8 p.m. The 10-part series explores the truth behind national historic sites, artifacts and tall tales. During premiere week, the show will air Monday through Thursday, July 14-17, at 8 p.m. It will continue thereafter on Monday nights at 8 p.m. During the series, detectives travel across the United States uncovering the answers to such mysteries as, "Are the bullets tucked away in a trunk in a Wisconsin home responsible for the demise of Bonnie and Clyde?" "Was the guest book found in a New Jersey fire station actually signed by Ulysses S. Grant on July 4, 1876?" Bringing the detectives to South Carolina is the question, Is the original copy of Confederate General Robert E. Lees farewell address, General Order #9, the one located on Beech Island, SC?" The History Detectives episode involving Lees Last Orders will air on Monday, July 21, at 8 p.m. The Beech Island Agricultural Club, a social organization formed by local plantation owners in the 1840s, has owned this document for almost 120 years. Milledge Murray, the groups membership chair and descendant of one of the clubs founders, has what is believed to be a signed copy of General Order #9, composed at Appomattox, Virginia, upon the surrender of Lees troops in April, 1865. Will the detectives agree that this document is the real deal or will it remain an unsolved mystery? The fact-finding History Detectives are Wesley Cowan, independent appraiser and auctioneer; Gwendolyn Wright, professor of architecture, Columbia University; Elyse Luray, an independent appraiser and expert in art history; and Tukufu Zuberi, professor of sociology and the director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Each week, they track down the best in the fields of forensics, historical research, architecture and archaeology, taking old-fashioned sleuthing to a whole new realm. Featuring three modern-day conundrums per hour, viewers will take a roller coaster ride through history as the investigators combine hard evidence with intuition in the search for truth about the historical records of the homes, towns and personal possessions of everyday Americans. http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/index.html

If you don't get anyone to do this for you let me know and I will when I am that away. I live in Denison so is a few miles from me. Are your Enloe's from Moniteau, Morgan or Miller County Missouri? My Jackson line were from there and noticed a few friends of theirs also came to the Grayson and Collin County line abt the same time. Could have come on same wagon train.

Generally the cemetery is known as Worden, the one in Grayson County is south of Tom Beam and north of Cannon. There is not one near Elmont. Elmont is west of Van Alstyne. There is a Warden Cemetery in Collin County , near Anna that you may mean. There is not an online list for that cemetery. The Worden in Grayson is linked on this page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgrayso/cemeteries.html Susan rod and vicki reynolds wrote: > > Hi list, > Can anyone tell me where I can find on the net the Warden Cemetery , in Elmont?
