In the Grimes Co. marriages there is a marriage of A. E. Folly to M. E. Masters in 1857. This is an Allen Folley & Mary Masters. This couple died young & 2 of their children, Edward & Louisa J. Folly, went to live with a Charles P. Montgomery & w/Willy E. also in Grimes Co. (1870 census). Later, the 2 children lived with their Folly/Sadler relatives in Limestone Co. Louisa Jane (Lucy Jane) was the first wife of my gr grandfather, Wm Newton Jarrard, of White Co. GA & Limestone Co. TX. Lucy died after the birth of their 7th child & Bill Jarrard married her cousin, Mary Ella Sadler. I'm looking for anyone with info on these families. Thanks, Diane Ethridge Conroe, TX

Hello Everyone: I am trying to research my Harrison family who were located in Grimes county from about 1870 to 1900. I am looking for help to locate Freeman Harrison's grave site from GA and maybe some help with the slave owners of Stafford W. Harrison, Freeman Harrison, Eliza Fuqua and William Harrison. Thanks Larry L. Harrison
