I am trying to find a descendant or someone with a connection to, Ephriam Williams. He was born in Arkansas, about 1864, his father is said to be Riley Williams, this is passed on information. I need to be able to verify this information. Ephriam Williams is found on the following census of 1870, Arkansas: Samuel Riley age 32 b. TN Nicey " 30 b. TN Mary " 10 b. AR Jalina? " 6 b. AR Hugh " 4 b. AR Ephriam Williams age 6 b. AR Elvira Williams " 4 b. AR William M. Williams " 1 b. AR Ningen Riley " 1 b. AR Does anyone have a connection to the Riley family or know what the relationship is of the Williams children found listed with them on this census? The daughters of Riley Williams of Van Buren County, AR., were: #1 Elizabeth (aunt Betts) b. 17, Nov, 1864 in Van Buren Co., AR. d. 15, Aug, 1943 in Van Buren Co. She had one daughter (Josie G.), who married Richard J. Cassinger. They had one son, Doyce Cassinger. #2.

Nicey Jane b. 22, April,1870 in Van Buren Co., d. 21, Jan, 1953 in Grady Co., OK buried in Gracemont cemetery., she married James Franklin Gardner 2 Jan,1887 in Van Buren Co. Nicey's daughter, Zona Ann Gardner, married , Charlie Watson. George Gardner was Zona's brother. There was also Sam and William Gardner. Ephriam Williams had a connection to Riley Williams, above, and would have been a half brother to the daughters of Riley Williams. Can anyone verify this? I have a picture of Ephriam Williams , year unknown, possibly around 1915, in White Wright , Texas, Grayson County. Would like to find out if the other two Williams children on the 1870 Ar. census were siblings of Ephriam. Would like to make contact with any descendants of Ephriam Williams and learn what the relationship was to the Samuel and Nicey Riley family. Did Ephriam remain in Texas, did he die there, he left Arkansas and went to Texas around 1890-91. Thanks for any information, no matter how small! Anyone with any connection to any of these people , please reply. Sandra

Does anyone have access to the persons buried in Chambersville Cemetary at Collin, Texas. More specifically the names of any Chambers. Patty

Searching for information on William Chambers, born 1832 in Indiana and his wife Martha, born 1835 in Indiana. William and Martha moved to Texas after 1860 and were in Denison in 1903. Thier children were Ida Luella, born 1854; James M. born 1858 and Thomas H. born 1860. Ida Luella was actually the child of William and first wife Ellen, sister to Martha. (Ellen died when Ida was young.) I believe Thomas is buried at Calvery Cemetery in Denison. William and Martha may have had a daughter named Della and perhaps more children. Any information from census records concernig William and Martha and/or children would be appreciated. Patty

Does anyone have information on James and Louisa Rodgers, living near Collinsville according to the 1900 Grayson Co. census? This couple and their children Edgar L. and Dora were living next door to my relatives Thomas and Jennie Rodgers, but I cannot place them. Thanks, Sandra

Clyde - It is also possible that it could have been an Oddfellows' orphanage. There was one in Corsicana back in late '40's, so they might have had one in Sherman. You might call the library there to see if they had one listed in a City Directory for the year/s you are seeking. Good luck - Eleanor McCain
