$100 might seem pricey for a book - I have the Walker County book and it is so well used that it is falling apart! People are waiting in line to buy a used one. It is a HUGE book and I do lookups for others - it is a treasure indeed! If the Grimes County book is anything like it - it's worth it at any price. Now, how do I contact anyone who still has a volume of the Grimes book for sale? And is there anyone on this Grimes list who has the book and is willing to do lookups? (Hi Eleanor - we share a Crawford line) Charlotte Sandel Beck - researching THOMAS in Grimes Co.
I'd like to post info about my Grimes family again. It is pretty skimpy, and if anyone has any connection, or knows where the lady is buried, I would appreciate it John Phillips Wilkinson married Sarah Jane Foster in Walker County shortly after the Civill War. He was a CW vet from Alabama. She was a granddaughter of Norris and Rebecca Foster who settled in the Loma district along the San Jacinto River east of Huntsville in the late 1830s. John and Sarah Jane moved into Grimes County and had four children before she died. Best we can determine, they lived around Bedias and/or Grimes Prairie. Date of her death unknown, but it had to be before 1880. John remarried and removed to Hill County. I suspect, but have no proof, that John P. came to Texas because he had relatives in Grimes County. He did have a sister, Rhoda, who married Hess Grigsby, son of a pioneer family in Walker County. Any information would help. love joan
How do I order one???? That's too much to ask anyone to put out for a book. If you could find out how I can get one...you and I can share it if you want. I mean I will buy it and you may borrow it when you want to. Thanks! BTW, how is your mom? Ann
Ann There was a Grimes County Historical book published about 1881 that has a story on Roans Prairie. Also has write up of many Grimes County Families. Lot of good helpful data in it. I know some folks are sorry they did not enter their family history. That is so sad. Copy is in the Navasota Library. There is still a few for sale from Grimes County Historical Society. Believe they are $100. Maurine
Do you mean the 1981 book? If there is one from the 19th century I surely would like to see a copy!!!

Posted on: Grimes Co. Tx Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Grimes/272 Surname: Rice, Page ------------------------- I was raised in Grimes County and my grandfather, Antum V. Rice, was a son of Jesse Willis Rice and Bettie Blount. Unfortunately I have so very little information about my ancestors and would like to know where they lived, are buried, see some pictures, and know who were their siblings, etc. Grandpa Rice was married to Carrie Elizabeth Page and I would also like to know about the Page family. Thanks for your help!
Me, three!!! Ann Bartlett Bartlett, Bell Co., TX
Can anyone help Helen? I would like to know myself if there is somewhere we can obtain these books. I would like to put the information on the website if possible. Eleanor Eleanor, How do I go about getting a copy of the History of Grimes County(1st. book) and also the second. My ancestors were there in the late 18oo's, not certain how early. Helen Boyles
Posted on: Grimes Co. Tx Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Grimes/271 Surname: Rice ------------------------- My mother-in-law always called Henry, "Cousin Henry". She could not tell me how they were related to her father John Willis Rice, but I suspect that you have the wrong first name. Her grgrandfather's (John Nelson Rice) brother was Jesse Willis Rice b. 1848 in AL. They lived in Covington Co., AL before coming to Grimes Co., TX in Dec. 1878. Jesse Willis Rice's father was also Jesse Willis Rice b. 1819 (died in AL and buried in AL). Jesse Willis Rice's (b. 1848) mother was Emily B. Rice b. 1824 buried Union Hill Cemetery next to dau. Mary E. Rice Cleghorn. What do you think?

Rice b: December 1889 Cross, Grimes County, Texas / ..... 2 Henry P. Rice b: November 1892 Cross, Grimes County, Texas I don't have any burial information on the children. I do have an obituary for Elizabeth: The Navasota Examiner on Wed, 2 January 1935 reported the following: Mrs. Betty Blount Brinkley, aged 79 years, 6 monts, passed away Thursday, 27 December 1934 at 11:15 P.M. after a short illness at the home of her son Robert O. Blount. Mrs. Brinkley was born at Old Red Top, Grimes County, united with the Presbyterian Church at the age of 16. She is survived by 6 children, Robert O. Bount & Mrs. Kate Brotherton, Henry & Anum V. Rice of Keith, Mrs. Tennie Young of Walker County & Mrs. Etta Jervis of Bellville, 51 grandchildren, and 26 grandchildren. Of a family of 15 children, Mrs. Brinkley is survived by one sister, Mrs. Sue Bookman of Shiro, two brothers, Andrew H. Blount of Roans Prairie & Jim Blount of West Texas. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 3:00 by Rev. Sam Thomas and interment in Evergreen Cemetery with Day Undertaking Company of Navasota in charge. I hope this helps.
