Hi. I wonder if any one knows of a resource that would tell names and dates of ones killed by Indian's in attack's along the Red River Valley. In my tree book an ancestor is listed killed Nov. 3rd. 1873. I am now beginning to think he was killed by an attack, and also his wife and others named Brown. My ancestor was Andrew D. Coffman, married Laura F. Brown in Fannin Co. 1871. Book indicate's killed in Cooke Co. but believe could be any place west of Bonham thur Cooke Co. Will be very greatful for all and any help.

Denison is located north of Sherman, which is 60 miles north of Dallas.

Does anyone know where in Grayson, Denison, Tx. is? I'm trying to find Talton Bailey and Tabitha in 1870, Denison, Grayson., Tx., son Henry Bailey born there in 1871. Thank you. Frances N. Armaly [email protected]

Does anyone know where I can look at copies of this newspaper? I know it was being published in 1908 but do not know what other years it was in operation. Colette [email protected]

Not yet, the new Whitesboro Genealogical Society is doing that reading , it is a large cemetery and they are splitting up the sections. It is called OakWood ( not to confuse it with OakWood in Denison) The Sherman library has an old reading of that cemetery you can write them a query. susan > >Is the Whitesboro Cemetery online yet?

Hello Maxine, I am not familiar with the land transactions you mention. However, my husband's grandparents, James William and Mattie (Jay) Wall, were married in Howe. Two of their babies are buried in the Chambersville Cemetery. His parens, Thomas N. and Julia (Cook) Wall, are buried in the Van Alstyne cemetery, as are many of their other relatives. >From about 1893 to 1900 they resided in Indian Territory of Oklahoma, before it became a state. Three children were born in a cave there.

To All--- "Eye on the Internet" an hour-long program (which airs daily on KRLD/1080 in the Dallas/Fort Worth area)is planning several segments related to family history and the internet. The show has already scheduled interviews with the Rootsweb people and with an author who used the 'net to research his family history book. Program host Katie Pruitt is now looking for research sites that have helped you locate overseas ancestors, and for stories about how you may have used the internet to track ancestors or cousins outside the United States. You can write Katie at [email protected], or you can access the "Eye on the Internet" site through www.krld.com. (She will also use some of your suggestions as her featured "Site of the Night".) As I understand it, the family history segments will air over several nights later this month. Best, Rusty Williams

Is the Whitesboro Cemetery online yet? If not, does anyone have the listings. I'm looking for Eliza or Elizabeth Elliott - also Eleanor McWilliams, or in fact, any McWilliams. Thanks, Sandra Stephens

RE: Denton, Grayson, Cooke, etc. were part of Fannin County during the Republic of Texas. Several months ago, I found a site listing military rolls for the Republic of Texas period. I lost it, and finally wrote to the Archives asking about it. Donaly E. Brice, Reference Archivist, was nice enought to find the site for me, even though it is not on the Texas State Archives and Libary page. I am grateful to him for his help. I will submit the muster rolls as proof for establishing a supplementary line for DRT in the name of Isaac Huston/Houston. I hope any of you interested in the Republic period will visit the following site. Mr. Brice sent me the index cards showing Isaac Houston/Huston on Mark Roberts roll.The Maxey family was one of the first in the Republic in Fannin County. http://www.mindspring.com/~dmaxey/home.htm (This site is the home page Index to MILITARY ROLLS of the REPUBLIC of TEXAS: 1835 - 1845) http://www.mindspring.com/~dmaxey/rep_indx.htm (goes to an index) Diana White

In the mid sixties I went to visit an Aunt in the Whitesboro Nursing Home with my family. My Dad introduced me to an elderly gentleman as Sheriff Elliott. Could he have been a member of your family? Have you tried contacting the Nursing Home in Whitesboro?

Hall is the cemetery for Farmington.Akers is near also to the north and Elmont to the south. It is not online yet.You would have to contact the Sherman library for that cemetery. susan PS I saw Mike Cross busily adding info from old obits to cemetery records yesterday. So watch for nice additions. He is a real powerhouse for collecting info . But doesn't care for genealogy or answering emails.
