I'm so glad that one of these helped you! That is what I was hoping for. I have several more emails typed up and ready to go but I'm going to try to send about two a day. In fact I will send out today's two in a little while. I went to the Navasota library yesterday too and got through the second reel of the newspaper archives, Jan - early June 1899. My main goal is to glean deaths and births, etc. The personal mentions add a touch of fun and can show what our ancestors were doing so long ago. They sure traveled a lot more than I thought they did. The railroad was a big help back then. Unfortunately I won't be able to make more trips any time soon. I finally have been hired as a full time teacher, just this last Thursday. I have a week to get things together before the inservice meetings start. I haven't taught full-time in over 25 years so this is going to be very interesting and time consuming. Anyway, I have a stack of stuff here to type up and I will add as I can. I'm also typing up some marriages I got and a few cemeteries. If anyone could help with this project I would appreciate it. I will be able to type things up when I have time, but trips to the library which take me over an hour or out right now. The Navasota library is a treasure trove of information if any of you can ever go. They have on film, deed records, probate records, all census for Grimes, newspaper archives, etc. They have many of the books including the cemtery books on Grimes County. They have files that I never got a chance to look at. They have all the marriage records in big indexes. All of this in a tiny room. It's well worth a visit. Thanks Herman for your commentary about your family. I'm so glad that it was a help to you. I will certainly keep a look out for your May, Loggins, family etc. Eleanor Colson

I would like to post a public note of thanks to Eleanor for her generosity in sharing the transcribed extracts from The Daily Examiner. Who would have thought that her very first submission would have been instrumental in solving a mystery that has haunted my research for the past eight years? The piece entitled "Killed near Longstreet" from the 06 September 1898 edition was both welcome and disconcerting. The "Dick May" referenced was my GGgrandfather, Drury G. "Dick" MAY and "Rube" Loggins was his step-son, Reuben Nathaniel LOGGINS. The article is correct when it states that "[b]ad blood [had] existed between the two men for some time". There are anecdotal references to Drury having treated his second wife, Reuben's mother, Gillie H. (ALSTON) LOGGINS MAY, badly. There is also evidence that this was a habitual character flaw as said trait was also referenced in the court minutes when my GGgrandmother, Drury's first wife, Margaret (THIGPEN) MAY, sued him for divorce in Lee County on 15 December 1874. For those who may have an interest, there are some additional facts about the LOGGINS family that may interest you. Reuben's father, Reuben Thomas LOGGINS, was shot and killed on 31 May 1879 in Waller County. At least one family story suggests that this deed was carried out by Drury, which seems unlikely given he eventually married Thomas' widow. Another indicates the murderer to be named Daniel MORRIS. This latter is of interest due to the fact that on 09 July 1879 Daniel's brother, Reuben MORRIS (a lawyer who was active in Waller County politics), was "accidentally" shot and killed by Thomas' father, brother, and a cousin - Reuben, Henry and Willifred, respectively - who were lying in ambush along a roadside near Howth. The relationships between all of these individuals only adds to the intrigue. Drury and Gillie were second cousins through their MAY ancestry. Thomas LOGGINS and Reuben MORRIS were first cousins through the LOGGINS line. The spouses of Thomas and Reuben (MORRIS) were sisters. Just one big, dysfunctional family! ;-) (BTW, I am also related to the LOGGINS family. Another of my GGgrandparents, Mary Ann (LOGGINS) SARTAIN, was a first cousin to Reuben and the MORRIS brothers.) My thanks, again, to Eleanor. She has opened the door to another source of information and, hopefully, an eventual resolution to the tangled web that makes up my direct and collateral family. At the very least, she has solved the mystery of the demise of my GGgrandfather, Drury. Eleanor, if you come across any another references to this killing or the jurisprudence that followed, I would appreciate learning anything else. Herman ------------- Herman I. May Garland, Texas Herman.May@earthling.net Surnames of interest: ADAME, ADAMS, ANDRUS, ARCENEAUX, BONIN, CONNER, GUNN, HALE(S), HART, JOHNSON, LANNING, LeBLANC, LOGGINS, MAURO, MAY, ROGERS, SARTAIN, SEXTON, STEINBOCK, THIGPEN, TROTTI, WALTERS, and collateral surnames too numerous to name.

I love it, too. I found a McAlpine listed, and a Perry married a member of this family, early on. He was the tutor hired for the A. G. Perry children and the children of Ducalion Perry, deceased. He was hired by Judge A. G. Perry, my great, great uncle, and brother of Ducalion A. Perry of Washington Co. His wife was Harriet Grimes, daughter of Jesse. I know that many of the descendants of Ducalion lived in Grimes Co., including Gardner Perry and others. Is there anyone left of the Perrys? I know that most of them left, but my sweet cousins, Lands, still live out near Piedmont. We are also related to Allens and Fuquas, among others. My grandmother was a Turner, and her mother, a Gressett. Know anyone with those names in Grimes Co.? Lois Perry Richardson
