Hi, I could sure use some help with this family you can e-mail me at vanneh@pvns.net if you whish. I believe they were living right in the area where the 3 counties of Guadalupe, Hays and Caldwell join. Thanks Velta vanneh@pvns.net I found this HAYS County Marriages Licenses below WANSLOY ( WANSLOW ), John G.(Y.) & Mandy SIMMONS ( License issued ) 2 Dec. 1858; (marriage date) 23 Dec. 1858. Book A : # 62, [ later all records show this name as WANSLEY] Probate Records Hays Co. Texas Book B. Estate of John W[o]nsley Inventory of estate; Appraisers James Provose and Christian Kirchner 26 Mar. 1859. In acc. with Brittin Felphs, guardian of estate; Itemized list of board, tuition, and clothes for SARA, DAVID, and Mary. Also Unclaimed letters at San Marcos P.O. 1874 from Miss Laura Simmons.[Note date 1859, should that be 1869?? as a child was 6 mos. old on the 1870 census or is this the same John WANSLEY as above] I have a copy of a Widows Application for Pension # 40722, Texas, for a Mrs. Eveline R. WANSLEY, stating she married F.M. WANSLEY , full name was Francis Marion WANSLEY and that she married him Feb. 1st, 1866, Guadalupe County, Texas. He died on Nov. 6th, 1869, Guadalupe County, Texas. She says she has been a resident of Kingsbury for 70 years. Witness to this were D.W. WANSLEY, brother, and R.C. APPLING. Everything else I have on the WANSLEY family is in Guadalupe Co. I would like to know how John is connected to F.M. WANSLEY and if any one knows where he is buried. I do not have anything else on them until the 1870 Guadalupe Census where Amanda [Mandy] is living with her father Stephen SIMMONS . She married Albert Jarnagin in 1871. [My great grandparents].I will be happy to share information on any of the families listed. The SIMMONS were in LA in 1850.
