My dad recieved a letter from a Ms Norene Parrish in Richardson, Texas. She is some how related to us.. and i am not quiet sure how yet. But she did have some information on my dads family - my brick wall for years - that may help bring it down a bit..the wall that is! A few weeks ago i posted all the names - one was a Fronnie Foster.. well turns out that is her nickname. Her real name - Safrone Ann Foster Hughes and she died sometime in Januray of 1929. She was married to John C Hughes. They at one time lived in an area near what is now know as North Heights School District, i believe somewhere near Texarkana? The name of the town started with Forrest _____. She said it was a new tonw then (but gave no dates). The children were - Jacob Solomon Hughes - had a son (stil living i think in Little Rock arkansas) named - Jacob Solomon Hughes Jr.. He was always called Pete - apparantly the Sr Jacob didn't like both of them being called Jake.. so, he called him Pete. Name stuck.. There was another brother to Jacob/Pete - Joseph Franklin Hughes. I am assuming he was named after my grandfather.. he is still alive, and lives in Texarkana, Tx. He is 88 according to the letter. Norene, was either their sister or one of their daughters.. THe relationship is very unclear right now. The rest of John & Fronnies Kids were - Margaret Hughes Hempoly, Mary Hughes Betterton, a daughter Laura who married - a mormon and left the family...i think this persons name was Tom Talley..but that is based on hearsay. The lived in Rosewood Texas. Laura was later found murdered? I think the story goes? On with the kids - Rosemary, John , Denson, Joseph (m ggrandfather) and Millie. I met Millies daughter Olene 2 years ago when I started. But due to failing health she has been unable to provide much information. So, i guess my next step would be try to find Joseph Franklin Hughes in Arkansas? Maybe send a letter? Pete i am told is in a health care facility with failing health. I am excited as in the letter .. it was stated that we were on the LDS site.. but not under which name.. So, i have started the search there again.. So far no luck. She could have meant - her family..not ours.. Anyway, at least now i have a place to go to.... before i was blindly looking. Now i have something to go on.. at least i think i do! And that matters to me! I appreciate you all! Janet
