Does anyone know if there are indices of tax, land, probate or other records in Grayson county for about the 1880-1883 time frame? If there are, would someone please tell me who to contact to see if there is any data on my g-grandfather Green Webster Hunt or his wife, Sarah Martha (Maggie) Hunt. Thanks, Marge Currin

We have been to Bondham and Sherman three times looking and had no luck. My only hope is as more grave info is added, they might show up.

Kauffman/Kaufman/Coffman, Nov./3/1773 (listed killed). I have a feeling he could be buried anywhere from Gainsville east to Bondham, as his son Walter E. was running the Red River ferry just north of Gainsville in 1880's. Thank you so much for looking as you go along in index's. And I got to say "We just loved the Red River Valley" and especially The Piney woods near Harrison Co. Bye the Coffman's in Kansas >> I was wondering if there is any information on the ferries running across the Red River in any books or etc? My grandfather also ran a ferry across it back in late 1800, but I don't know exactly where. They lived in Bowie county about that time. Thanks for any info. donna Marlar English

Thanks so much to all for your help in locating Hagerman! The news that there is a cemetery there is great! It looks like a weekend drive is in order. Thanks again! Judy Oklahoma City

This is from the Handbook of Texas Online, a wonderful research tool! http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/index.html HAGERMAN, TEXAS. Hagerman is on a spur off Farm Road 1417 eight miles northwest of Sherman in north central Grayson County. In the early 1870s settlers came to the community, which became a center for area farmers. It was originally called Steedman, in honor of county judge S. D. Steedman, and its post office, established in 1880, was called Steedman until 1909. When the tracks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad reached the community in 1909, its name was changed to Hagerman, to honor railroad attorney James Hagerman. The community post office closed sometime after 1930. In the 1930s and 1940s Hagerman's population was reported as 150. Though most of the townsite was submerged under Lake Texoma in 1944, Hagerman is marked on the 1970 county highway map by a church, and, several miles away, a cemetery.

My husband's family is supposed to have lived in Hagerman, TX in the 1920's. Can anyone tell me if there was a Hagerman, TX that perhaps is now underwater at the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge? We are guessing that that might be the case but realize that Hagerman might be anywhere. We cannot find it on any maps on-line or in atlases or on maps that we have. Judy Oklahoma City

My Thanks to each who answered. My grandmother and grandfather (along with two other kin families) lived on Binkley. I lived there, with my parents, and went to Bryant School grades 1 through 5. John K. Legate [email protected] LEGATE--SIEBMAN--SCOTT--ROBERTS and RICHARDSON

Dear Grayson People, What year was Fannin co. broken up and Grayson, (and part of Cooke?) formed? I need this info to know where to search for a certain time period, and will be grateful for your aid and info.

That may be. I have added a snippet from a letter written to my father from James M. Binkley, son of Jacob Monroe Binkley. "Enclosed is a clipping attached here about Father who had to preach in the Opera House, the largest in Texas then, owned by Judge C.C. Binkley, his brother. No Sherman church was large enough to accommodate the crowds that came to listen. He was famous for his humor. You may not know that he declined to be a Methodist Bishop in 1901 at Birmingham, Ala.; as Bishops had to serve in a foreign country for 2-years first, then. He was too busy disposing of the property inherited form the Judge's estate. He helped to found TEXAS WESLYAN COLLEGE (Methodist) 65 years ago and contributed to it. A "Binkley" street is named for him in Fort worth. He also helped to found SMU 52 years ago and made a large contribution, so another "Binkley" street is in University Park in Dallas." It is very possible the Binkley Street you are referring to was in memory of Christopher Columbus Binkley who was the brother of Jacob Monroe Binkley.

I thought it was too until I ran into the newspaper article that carried the naming story while researching something else. Apparently the story of the street naming was also repeated in the book written by the Sherman library but the newspapers of the day reflect the district Judge Christopher Columbus Binkley was the one being honored.His name caught my eye as I had just given a speech detailing his extraordinary funeral. Rev. Binkley though had several Methodist Churches named for him. susan Cissy Chambers wrote: > > Yes, it is.

Is the street in Sherman named after Rev. Binkley? JK

Hello, I was so thrilled at the prospect of finding out more about the Evans Family that I forgot to reply to the list instead of xmasmom. I am the gggrandaughter of Jacob Monroe Binkley and Ann Amelia Evans. Their oldest daughter, Bessie Carita Binkley was my g grandmother. She married George W. Hubbard, M.D. and Ann Hubbard, my grandmother was her oldest daughter. She married 1st Eugene Burwell Edmundson in Mineral Wells Texas and my father E.B. Edmundson, Jr. was the result of that marriage. Ann married 2nd. Edgar Parker Harris and E.P. Harris, Jr. and James W. Harris resulted from that marriage. I have tried very hard to find other Evans descendants that might know more of the Evans family than I do. I would love to share what I do have.

I would like to correspond with any descendants of Jacob Monroe Binkley who was a minister of note in Sherman. His first wife was Sarah S. Harding, second wife was Ann Amelia Evans. He died in 1916. Ann Amelia was a niece to my great grandmother, Elizabeth (Evans) Vaughan. Also descendants of John Fleming Evans (1 May 1849 - 11 Jan 1935). He married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Peyton Davis on 16 Feb 1876 in Denton, Denton Co, Texas. Lived in Sherman in 1918. I have a long letter from his daughter,May Davis Evans in 1917 telling about all the family news. She was married at the time. Among my great grandmother's I found a wedding announcement. This must have been a friend, not a family member that I know of: Dr and Mrs E. R. Hawkins sent the invitations to their daughter Nessie's wedding to chas B. Jones on Wednesday morning July 9th at half past nine O'clock, at the Methodist Church in Greenville, Texas 1890. [email protected]
