Hi list I've been lurking for a few months and would like some help in solving a mystery. I have a branch of our family that lived in Grayson Co. from about 1900 til at least 1920. Here's the story ..... Edward Rencher was born in 1853 in Noxubee, Ms. He married Anna Marie Beasley, and they lived in De Soto Parish, La. for a while, then moved to Grayson Co. Edward died in 1907 and is buried in Fairview Cemetery. Jack S Rencher, son of Edward and Anna Marie Rencher, married Genieve J. (last name unknown) probably around 1914-15 in Grayson Co . They had at least three children. Genieve and two of the babies all died in 1918. She listed in Fairview Cemetery... don't know if the babies were buried there or not (Their names were Jamie and Jasmia) I think there was a terrible flu epidemic that year. The 1920 Grayson Co. Census lists Jack as a boarder, age 30, widowed and working as clerk in a dry goods store. At least one brother, Edward Rencher, Jr., had already moved to California. The 1920 census lists Edward Rencher and his wife Bessie living with Bessie's Brother, Authur Nevins and his wife Gladys in Santa Barbara, Ca. The 1930 Census lists Edward, his wife Bessie, his daughter Anna (age 7) and Bessie's mother Lula Nevins, age 56. Both Bessie and her mother were born in Tx. (Hopefully Grayson County!) By 1930 Jack S. he had moved to Riverside Ca., and is listed in the census with wife Velma, age 31 (b. in Colorado) and son Jack S. Jr. age 16. (born in Tx.) My hope is that someone recognizes one of these names, and has a connection. I would love to fill in the blanks for Genieve, deceased wife of Jack S. Rencher and Edward Renchers wife, Bessie Nevins. (another brother Charles Rencher was accidently killed in 1920 in a shotgun accident. He was 16 years old.) Thanks for any clues... bev
