I have learnt that Grimes County was formed 1846 now so that I hope cuts down my time frame for this letter. This letter was addressed to William Gardiner Navasata Grimes County Texes United States America I am aware of the spelling mistakes, but that is the way it looks to be written on the letter. It was sent by his Neice, Ruby Gardiner from somewhere in teh region of Alton, Hampshire in the south of the UK. Unfortunately the stamp and about a quarter of the letter have been torn off so I cannot date the letter. I also do not know how the letter found it's way back to the UK, I assume William brought it back, but none of my remaining family know who William or Ruby were so I cannot be sure. I guess that when this letter was sent that Navasota would have been a very small place? Does anyone know of any Gardiner families in the area? Is it possible a British Army unit could have been in the area or would it be around the time/area of the Gold Rush (I apologise for my lack of US geographical knowledge) or does anyone have any idea what a British person would be doing there at that time. A search through the census' has pulled up a blank so any hints or clues would be greatly appreciated. For those that are curious I have uploaded a page from the letter with this post.

From: Karen Lawless Date: 10/13/04 13:35:45 To: Relppek Subject: Greenwood genealogy Hi Jane! I was contacted by a gentleman here in Kingwood who has been researching an old cemetery in Grimes Co. He's identified a Rev. War patriot, Henry Bailey Greenwood, who is buried there along with another patriot (Landrum). They are having a dedication ceremony for Landrum next weekend. Henry Greenwood has not previously been identified as a Rev. War Patriot (at least not with DAR) and Mr. McKenna has found evidence that he provided patriot service during the Rev. War. So he's looking for descendants of Henry Bailey Greenwood. This family is written up in the 1981 Montgomery Co. history book on page 319. I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone knows any of the descendants of this family. It appears that many of them settled in the Grimes Co. area and I've suggested that Mr. McKenna check over there as well Thanks!! Hope you're doing okay! Karen Lawless
