Does anyone know whether there are any records of deaths in Grayson County for the time period 1880-1885? I have checked the tombstone inscriptions, but I thought there might perhaps be an additional source of data. Thanks, Marge Currin

My grandmother, Amanda Emma Mckinley, 1872-1958 told of spending some time in an orphan's home in Sherman when she was around 8 years old. Do any of you know of such a place or where one might find records of such a place. It is possible that it could have been Catholic. Yours truly Clyde W. Burns [email protected]

I have a Mitchell family from Grayson Co, Tx. I don't know that much about them but maybe this will help you. James Anderson Mitchell b. 1840 Cassville, MO m. Bettie E. Keech 1871. Children: Ida May Mitchell Lavenia Alice Mitchell John Daniel Mitchell Cora Isabel Mitchell Mary Ella Mitchell (Mollie) b. 1882 Cooke Co, TX Mollie Mitchell m. Hineman Harley Hale at Whitesboro, TX 1899. I haven't worked on this line very much. I don't know anything about James A. Mitchell's parents or siblings. I'll look through my records to see if I can find anything else. I wrote to descendants from this line a few years back but haven't worked on it for awhile. I remember finding some Mitchell's buried at County Line Cemetery which is just west of Dixie. I don't know if that cemetery has another name or not.

In 1846 or 1847 Joseph G. Mitchell and family moved to Grayson Co. He died in 1847. His children were Susan Elizabeth, Thomas L., Mary Jane and Marcus W. Mitchell. His family remained there for years. His widow, Jane C. Garrison Mitchell married & divorced John R. Bean. His daughter, Susan Elizabeth, b. 1840 m. (1) Philip Wilson and (2) David Mays. This group moved to I.T. (OK) in the 1870's. Does anyone out there know anything about what happened to Thomas L., Mary Jane and Marcus W. Mitchell? (I assume they were born around the time their sister Susan Elizabeth was - 1840.) Also, when I was there (about 15 years ago) someone told me that an important Indian had been buried somewhere around there, but they could not remember where or who. There was suppose to be a large wooden head marker. Has anyone heard anything about that or who it was? A Dr. Britton had done a lot of research about this family, but I have been unable to contact him by phone. Does anyone know if he is still there? Any help will be appreciated. It took me 15 years to find the father of Joseph G. Mitchell and now I would like to know about his other children. Marlene

The Bryan County Oklahoma Historical Society has a listing of some cemeteries that were moved and to where, they are not on-line but their mailing address is Bryan County Heritage Assn., Inc. P. O. Box 153 Calera, OK 74730-0153 . According to the Corp of Eng, Tulsa District, the record are in the National Archives, in Ft. Worth Tx, lots of luck with them people as they will tell you to come by and look for your self in large stacks of papers, or that was the response we have gotten from them, twice.

There is a little white deserted church just to the north of the Basin Springs Cemetery. It has been several years since I have been there but I think it is a Baptist Church. Does anyone know if the records of this church survive? Thanks, Sonia

Thank you Helen. I have been to Basin Springs. Also thank you for the URL for corrections. I have a couple to send. I can also send the photo's if needed. Sonia Sonia, There are several Hightowers buried at Basin Springs Cemetery. The URL is ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/basin.txt This is the URL for some corrections to the Basin Spring Cemetery Listings, which you may also be interested in. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/basin1.txt ----- Original Message ----- Hope this helps.

Hello List, I just usually hit the (Reply to ALL) when I want it to go to the entire list, and (Reply to Author) when I want it to go to the original author of the email, only. Some of the Lists I am on are set up to go to the entire list no matter which I hit to reply, and there is a lot of nonsense on some of them, means using the delete key many times, so glad they are not all set to default that way. I would appreciate knowing the answers to the present questions about the cemeteries as I have many ancestors in that general area.

Vicki, Your response only went to me and you obviously thought it went to the list since you said "how about it listers". Your response does not go to the list unless you type in that address, which I did on this message. When you click on reply, on this list, it goes privately to the person who placed the query. That is the default set up on this list. I would like to see the questions and responses myself. How about it list? Is there a lot of maintenance or monitoring if the response goes to the list? You could always respond privately if you didn't want the info going to the list. I am on another couple of lists where I get a lot of messages that do not pertain to me. I just glance at them and delete. Doesn't take long. But in other cases, I get some info about the area that is very helpful. I have only seen three queries since I have been on this list and two of them were mine. <grin> So, I don't thing volumn is a problem. I have received 4 or five responses privately which may have helped someone else too. Any discussion on this? .

For information on some of the communities of Grayson County (or any other county), here is a great website: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/ Enter the search words GRAYSON COUNTY to see how many "hits" you get. It will probably answer some questions about those small communities where our ancestors once lived - how they began, what their history is, where they are located. Shirley Webb [email protected]

Is there any way to get a correction made for a Grayson Co cemetery? I have a couple of corrections for Basin Springs. I wrote to Mike Cross but never got an answer. I don't know if he still has the same e-mail address. He may be bombarded with messages and doesn't have time to answer. I can send a photo of the tombstone in question to anyone who can make that correction happen. Thanks, Sonia

thenew Whitesboro Genealogical Society is working on that, I had the opportunitiy to speak at their meeting last month. They are doing the various sections now. susan Sonia & Bill wrote: > Grayson Co has done a terriffic job of putting cemeteries on the web. > Are there any plans on surveying Whitesboro Cemetery? > Sonia

Grayson Co has done a terriffic job of putting cemeteries on the web. Are there any plans on surveying Whitesboro Cemetery? Sonia

Are there any records of cemeteries that were moved when Texoma Lake was put in? Are there any records of cemeteries being covered up? My Hightower's are from the Basin Springs/Sadler area and I have a few ancestors who should be buried in that area. Of course, they just may not have marked graves. I am looking for Margaret (Hightower) Panther/Worley w/o #1 Jos Panther/Painter #2 James Worley. I know from courthouse records that Margaret died in Basin Springs, Grayson Co,TX. Children of Margaret Hightower Panther/Worley: John W. Panther b. 1846 NC Lucy Ann (Louisa) Panther b. 1848 Grayson Co, TX James R. Panther b. 1857 Grayson Co, TX Richard Worley b. c1862 TX Arminda Worley b. c1863 TX Also looking for Margaret's sister Elizabeth (Hightower) Edwards w/o George Edwards. They had one son that I know of Thomas Edwards b. 1859. Another sister Cynthia (Hightower) Hart w/o James Hart. Children of Cynthia and James Hart: E. J. (female) b. 1854 Grayson Co, TX Nancy Ann Hart b. 1859 Grayson Co, TX Mary Hart b. 1861 Grayson Co, TX William Hart b. 1863 Grayson Co, TX Adeline Hart b. 1866 Grayson Co, TX Any help would be greatly appreciated.
