Hi, I am new to the list. seeking info on Elijah walker LaRue. in 1910 & 1920 census. living in Denison. Can someone do a cemetery look up for LaRue for me?--mike

Hello list, I called the court house number for Burleson county TX, from the handbook for genealogists . The recording said the new area code was 979. I called but it is disconnected. Does anyone have the new number for that county? Appreciate your help. Thanks Vicki

I think I was sent an email about I.T. info from this list and I lost it. Could someone please forward it to me. THanks Jack

Hello Grayson county list mgr.; I have three very old pictures of Mayor Tellie Aston & his wife Addie L. Bell-Aston. He once was the mayor of Sherman & his wife was my Grandfathers sister. Both are buried in Westhill in Sherman. Do you have a photo gallery like Oklahoma web site for rootsweb to post these pictures on? I have not found much information on him when he served but, I have had these pictures in my possession for years & would love to share them if you like? Vicki in Houston

Hi Jack, My Alexander D. MOORE and family were in St. Clair Co., MO. I found him there (actually Rives which became St. Clair) in 1840 as a single man. He would have been about 26. He married (I haven't found a document yet) Keziah BARNETT who was the dau of Hugh and Mary (Cox) Barnett sometime around 1843/44. This must also have been in St. Clair Co., MO. They had at least the 4 children that are shown in the 1850 census before they left St. Clair Co., MO for TX between 1850 and 1854. Those children were: Mary Ellen b. abt 1844 MO Helen Isabel b. abt 1847 MO Francis H. (f) b. abt 1848 MO Charles Wm. b. abt 1849 MO The agreement documented in St. Clair Co. in 1854 gives their residence as Grayson Co., TX, at that time. I found them there in the 1870 and 1880 censuses and also found that he had acquired property somtime around 1852, so the family was known to be in the area for nearly 30 years. Two more children are found on the 1870 census: Hugh b. abt 1862 TX Benjamin Marion b. 1866 TX (my GGrandfather) I'm sure that the children must have intermarried with other Grayson County folk, assuming they didn't all die before marriage. The girls listed in the MO 1850 census are not listed in the 1870 but by 1870 the youngest of them would have been 18. I've really been hampered in my search by not being able to find the family in the 1860 census. The only child that I've tracked beyond Grayson Co. is my GGrandfather. He married in Tonk Valley, Young Co., TX in 1890 to Minnie May SEDDON, dau. of Simeon T. and Nancy (Johnson) SEDDON. It certainly sounds as though the McGehee children were resident in the Grayson Co. area prior to 1859. I understand that many people left MO prior to the war to avoid the conflict and moved into OK, ARK and TX. My Alexander was a slave owner in 1840 and his wife's grandmother also owned slaves as she was offering him a number of slaves as part of an inducement to move back to MO in 1854. Was your GGGrandmother (widow of John) still living when he died and is it possible that she then remarried, going to TX with her children and new husband? This would make them harder to locate on the census as you don't know what name you are looking for :) but that doesn't explain why you can't find Richard (and Sidney) Hartzog. Such a tangled web isn't it? Vicki In a message dated 10/1/2000 6:33:07 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: << Tell me about your family.

The family appears in the 1870 and 1880 Grayson County census data. I've looked through the census (1860 Grayson Co.) page by page and will probably do it again as I just can't believe that they aren't listed there somewhere :) Vicki Woodland Hills, CA Researching Alexander D.

The only course of action I have is to take the census and go over it page by page myself or, find someway to find them in Oklahoma. I just wondered if there was a historical fact about people being missed on this census, like people living in Ok but coming south to Whitesboro to get married etc. Jack

If you are using an index, don't forget to try any alternate spelling you can think of. Also letters that can be misread. When you get to census takers' handwriting there are plenty of those, so use your imagination. Elaine Oakes > Jack, are you going strictly by the index?

Hi Jack, Have you check "neighboring" counties census? I have came across the same situation and it could be that they were recorded in a neighboring county.

Jack, are you going strictly by the index? If so, you may want to manually check the census for your missing family. Many times I find that the indexes are faulty. Judy Oklahoma City
