Mornin all. Well, if you can grow Mayhaw trees in Marshall, then they will grow in most of that area. I have seen them growing in the middle of fields, so they don't HAVE to be in a boggy place. I knew that you folks can grow figs in Marshall, cause my Mama talks about going back to her grandma's every August to help put up the fig preserves. We (in S. LA) do them earlier, in fact my figs are just about done. I am down to cooking just a few every other day or so. If any of you are cajun food fans, I just started a mailing list as one of Rootsweb's new Community lists on Cajun/LA cooking. If you are interested, contact me privately and I'll give you instructions on joining. Jan At 09:12 PM 7/21/1999 -0500, Gail Brown wrote: >Yum! Mayhaw jelly!

Yum! Mayhaw jelly! I'd never heard of it before I moved to Marshall, but it is our favorite. Summit United Methodist Church makes it, along with other kinds of jelly, and you can find it in the gift shop at the Old Courthouse Museum. I'm in Pittsburgh, PA, for a family reunion and brought some along for my Yankee cousins. As for Cains Cemetery - I'm not familiar with the name, but you can write the genealogy society at museum@shreve.net and ask if anyone knows about it. Gail

Dennis, I've seen that advertised along side the road in central Louisiana in numerous places. Small little stands, selling fruit, vegetables, and handpainted signs saying that they had Mayhaw for sale. Stopping at one of those stands about a year ago and bought some fruit and did see some of the Mayhaw. I didn't pay that much attention to it, but it was put up in "mason jars," like home-made preserves and jelly's. Don't know if that is what your referring to or not, just thought I'd through that in for what it's worth. As for Cains Cemetery, I looked in the Texas Handbook Online, and didn't find anything close. You might check the county records in Harrison, they should have deeds going back to when the land was deed over as a cemetery. Just a thought.

Hello, I make mayhaw jelly every spring. It is THE BEST in a close race with muscadines. Mayhaws are a small tree that grows in bottom land. The mayhaw is a tiny little fruit about the size of a blueberry that looks like a tiny crabapple and is VERY tart. That is why it makes such good jelly. Stands of trees in the woods are getting harder to find so we planted some trees a few years back. It takes 7 years for them to start really producing. This spring we had a few mayhaws, so next year you all can come down here to Lake Charles and have some hot biscuits and mayhaw jelly with me along with a good strong S. LA cup of coffee! Jan

Jan, Can we have a little ribbon cane syrup with those biscuits. I may pass on the coffee, what's it called chickery ? Lord that is potent, removes paint ! If I could I would find me some Mayhaw trees, that jelly is that good. But there is no way they would live up here in Aubrey, (north of Denton TX) Dennis

There is a little cemetary between Longview and Hallsville off of HWY80 called Cains Cemetary. I have some relatives buried there. Anyway, does anyone just happen to know how it got it's name. i.e. who named for ? And , when I was growing up down in and around Harrison County, my grandma used to make a jelly she called, (spelled the way it sounds) mayhaw. Anyone know what it is ? Dennis

Does anyone have maps, or know the locations of the following slave plantations in Lodi/Jefferson, Marion Co., TX, 1850? Cedar Grove Plantation Wiley Coor's Plantation Dr. Albert G. Clopton's Plantation William Drew's Plantation John V. Ford's Plantation Fleming Jones' Plantation George W. Keen's Plantation Refuge Plantation Royal F. Lockett's Plantation Sims Plantation Weaver Plantation William Young Plantation Anyone willing to share information on these slave plantations in or around Lodi/Jefferson, Marion Co., TX, circa 1850? OR share information on any other slave plantations in this area of TX? Regards, rustydouglas@pipeline.com

Just as I was getting ready to let you know about the latest changes in the web site www.rootsweb.com/~txharris/harrison.htm , an addition to the Rootsweb Resource page was announced. See below *. I've just added another page to the web site, courtesy of Ann Davis, who shared a couple of group pictures of Marshall men in the Texas National Guard, 1940. You can find it at www.rootsweb.com/~txharris/natlgrd.html I also added a note to the cemetery page and to the research resource page that Cathy Carter, who is working on Greenwood Cemetery with her husband, will do lookups from her list. This is a BIG cemetery, so it will still be a while before she's finished. Thank you, Cathy!!! Also today, I entered 2 obits on the Obit Message Board - one for Mrs. Hugh Y. Hall, and one for Mrs. R. R. Scott. I added one for J.R. Heartsill and Gertrude Arnold last week. These are from the Old Scrapbook, contributed by Jan Craven, and I enter them on the board when someone asks about a specific name. Eventually I'll get around to getting them all online, but it takes time, time, time. I think that's all the new things I've added recently, so here's the announcement from Rootsweb: *There is a new resource, Classified Ads Boards, that can now be found from a link on the cluster page for our county. As you know the Cluster page serves as a navigation aid to all resources for the county housed on RootsWeb. The Cluster page for Harrison County can be found at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/TX/Harrison/ You know that advertising (even when it can be helpful in our genealogical research) is generally not allowed on our mailing list and GenConnect boards. In an effort to help genealogists locate genealogical items, or list items being offered for sale, for example, out of print books you might be looking to sell or purchase, RootsWeb has created Classifieds at RootsWeb. These Classified Ad Boards work in the same way the GenConnect boards work, and are only to be used for items of a genealogical nature pertaining to the county shown on the board. These boards provide an outlet to help in our research for items that couldn't be properly listed elsewhere on RootsWeb. Enjoy them and use them to your best advantage! Gail's note: there won't be any 'for sale' items listed yet, but if you have any books for the county, you'd like to sell, this is the place to do it! Also note there's a calendar on the resource page - if you have reunions or other events that pertain to the county, post them there. Have fun, Gail

I am attempting to locate info on Joseph Fredrick RUGGLES, who was born 12 Mar 1860, in Franklin Furnace, OH, and migrated to TX. He was married to Irene Vashti JONES, in Harleton, Harrison Co., TX. He died 29 Mar 1938, in Harleton, Harrison Co., TX. On the death certificate, his father was listed as Joseph RUGGLES, who was born in Germany and his mother was listed as unknown. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Yours very truly, Cindy Pruitt Researching lpruitt@maxinet.com BONEY REYNOLDS FUSSELL RUGGLES P.O. Box 701 LEATHERS SMITH Paradise, CA. 95967 MABRY WELLS

Looking for information on Joe Underwood m Viola Glosbrenner. Lived in Houston around 1910. My grandmother Bertha Eloise (went by Lois) was born in Houston in April 1910. They had 2 other girls, Ella & Violet. Not sure of their dob or dod but believe they are buried in the Houston area. Don't have dob or dod for Joe or Viola either. Nor where they were from. They traveled around for work. My grandmother ended up settling in Pittsburgh PA when she married my grandfather around the late 1920's. If anyone has info I would greatly appreciate it. I can't locate them in the 1910 census. Thankyou. Barbara Spall

It only came to me and I thought others might have some links to your line. Looked in the book, "Hallsville Cemetery, A History of It's People" and found only one mention of a GORMAN, page 97 says a Theola Dollahite married Bill Gorman. They had one child, Glenn. Theloa died at the untimely age of forty-five. (Does not give dates) The index has two listings for the surname of KOON, Mrs. Ira Koon on page 164 and Susan Luvenia KOON on page 83. Mrs. Ira Koon's name is mentioned as a neighbor to Robert JOHNSON. Susan Luvenia KOON is shown married to James Henry CROFT. Sorry there wasn't more. Hope your research is going well. Jackie

Searching for information on Richard MCKNIGHT who died about 1939 and Sarah who died about 1929. I'm trying to establish if they are the same Richard and Sarah who were in Wood Co, TX from 1870 census to 1900 census. These would be my third great grandparents. Thank you Kim

Hello, I am one of the "new" members to this list. My dad's side of the family, Dorseys, Tuckers and Quillins have lived in Harrison County since the mid 1800's. Some of my cousins own / operate Shoult's Bear Creek Smokehouse outside of Marshall. Most lived in Hallsville where my grandparents and great gparents are buried. Anyway, nice to be aboard.

It was pointed out to me that I didn't specify *where* on www.ancestry.com to look for the Civil War Database. You can find it from the home page by clicking 'More New Databases' in the column on the right of the page, or just go to http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/3737.htm Ancestry's new page design leaves a lot to be desired on user-friendliness, so sometimes you just have to poke around til you find what you're looking for. This one was added on the 23rd, and I don't know how much longer it will be free. I don't have any connection with Ancestry, but I do subscribe to the service. Gail

HI all, I just discovered that Ancestry http://www.ancestry.com/ has the Civil War Database FREE for 10 days. There's a lot of info included -on both Union and Confederate troops. Check it out, Gail

Hi all, Jackie tells me she's been getting some replies to her message about ETexas food favorites. It's fine to post these to the list. BTW, when you hit 'Reply', it just goes to the sender, but if you hit 'Reply All', it goes to the sender AND the list. I had the list set the other way in the beginning, but too many personal replies were going to the list, so I changed it. What I usually do when I reply to a message from my other lists, is hit 'Reply All', then delete the name of the sender, thereby sending it to the list. That way the sender doesn't get a double dose of the reply. Technically, according to Rootsweb, I 'own' this list, but I consider it *your* list, so whatever you want to post, within reason, go right ahead. I notice a few more new subscribers in the past day or so - Welcome! In case you don't know what I'm talking about, one of the list members from out Californy way, posted a message about all the yummy ETexas food she was missing, like corn and field peas. Now she did tie this in to family history, saying this is what the ancestors learned to eat in the lean days following the Civil War, since the Northern soldiers left them, thinking they were for cattle. See, that gives us an idea of what things were like way back when. We have list members from all over the country, California and Minnesota and who knows where else, some of whom have actually lived in Harrison Co. But many of you have never even been here. Pity. So let's share, guys. Tell us who you're researching, and please, please, share any little tidbits of family history/culture with the rest of us, so we can learn, learn, learn. If there are any purists on the list who aren't interested in 'meat on the bones', please just use the delete key - I'll keep an eye on things, and if it gets out of hand, I'll let you know. (I did have to unsub myself temporarily from one county list in another state because the memory chatter got too much for me - time period and location that I just couldn't identify.) It's getting hot - already humid - and a lot more comfy in the house next to the 'puter than it is outside in the sun. Above all, have fun, Gail

My great grandmother was born, I think, in Harrison County. Her name was Eliza Jane Robinson and her parents were Henry Madison Robison and Evaliza Christina LaGrone "Eva". I need to know for sure whether she was born in that county or one nearby. She had a younger sister who was born there - Amanda Melvina Robinson. Any help will be appreciated.
