To Everyone, In my previous message I said that Franklin and his family were in Texas in the late 1870's and in Denison in the 1800 Census. I meant that they were in Denison in the 1880 Census. Thanks, Jack Standerfer

Hello Everyone, This is my first communication with the site and I don't know why I waited so long. I think it's a fine site and the city directories are great. My gggrandfather is Franklin H. Standerfer from Shelby County Illinois. He and his family came to Texas in the late 1870s. They were in Denison in the 1800 Census. Franklin died in 1898 and is buried in Fairview Cemetery. His second wife (and her second marriage) was Elizabeth Fletcher Fulton Standerfer. Her first husband was Thomas Fulton, the parents of Zarilda Fulton Standerfer Belden. Zarilda married Andrew Standerfer, the Son of Franklin and Paulina Drew. When Andrew died in 1883, Zarilda married Edwin Belden. She is buried in Westhill Cemetery. I have no further knowledge of Elizabeth. She was born in KY about 1830, but I don't know when or where she died or is buried. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. There is an unmarked grave next to that of Franklin and it is possible that it is Elizabeths. But, we will never know. Best wishes to Everyone. Jack Standerfer

Gay: God Bless you, I am the granddaughter of R.C.'s brother Hoyt Holland. That would make Helen Holland my great aunt. I thank you so much and I am emailing this message to my sister and Hoyt's Holland daughter- Patricia, who is my aunt. My aunt Patricia lives in St. Louis. I will be contracting Helen soon!

After reading post about Hoyt, R.C. and etc I ask my husband if he knew any of the names mentioned by Pam, he said he knew the R.C. family, so I called R.C's wife Helen. Very nice person. We got to talking and I said there was a Pam looking for info on her husbands side of the family. I liked to have fell out of my chair when she said who her husbands kin were. Now get a load of this!!!! R.C. is kin to the Nichols line, she mentioned Walter Holland who md Floy Nichols, and she went on to say she was kin to a Moses Nichols, this is when I fell out of my chair. Because you two we go back to Moses Nichols of Tenn. After she told me this I remembered I had researched this line somewhat. They were in Fannin Co, Tx in 1880 and his name was Moses Carroll Nichols. Moses Carroll Nichols father was John Nichols who was a brother to my Green wood Nichols who was son Of Moses Nichols. So Andrew Jackson Nichols was kin to R.C. Holland. Now as far as George Holland I think he may be from another Holland line, but Mary Ellen Nichols was related to the R.C. Holland through the Nichols line. Confused yet??? Vicki, you ask if I new the Hollands buried at Preston Bend and sorry to say I don't. So, because of the Grayson County roll call I or we have found several new cousins and found info that we didn't have. Pam, Helen is a older lady but in great health and memory, she knows who you are. She is going to a family reunion in Elkmont, Ala with some kin. She said that the Hollands were also from Tenn on the Ala boarder and I couldn't make out the name she was saying, I ask her several times and never did get it correct, she was talking a little fast, but it sounded like Tillo. Then she said the Hollands lived around Honey Grove, this is in Fannin County on the boarder of Lamar Co, Tx. Well guess what, the other bunch of Hollands the ones I know and was a best friend comes from Honey Grove area also. This should be a lot of fun researching this family. Can't wait to hear from you. Helen said she would love to hear from you Pam. So with her being older you need to jump on this real fast. Here is her address and phone number. R.C. Holland 1516 S.

Over the yrs doing research you see names that seem to follow your own family around. I have had a problem as to where in S.C. my Jackson's came from. They are from S.C. to Warren and Allen and Logan Counties of Ky to Morgan County, Mo 1836. Benjamin Jackson and wife Nancy MaDole were my line. He was a Baptist preacher and preached at the Big Rock baptist Church. He had a son Woodson who had daughter Elizabeth who md Rev. Thomas Benton McComb and came to the Van Allstyne area, so did Woodson and his children. Woodsons wife Mary md again to William Scott also from Mo and kin to the Howards. On the 1850 census was my B.W. Jackson and his parents Benjamin and Nancy living next door to Enoch and Frances Enloe of S.C. and her from N.C., he was 60 and she was 51. My Pedigo family were also in Barren Co, Ky. Well anyway thats why I wanted to know about your family.
