    2. COPIED AT ELLIS COUNTY MUSEUM - OBITUARY- MRS. M.J.HANCOCK, who was Margaret J. DuVal, married Rev. Edward R. BURTON in Sharon, MS. Oct 1844, going to Carrolton, MS, there living until moving near Palestine, TX Jan. 1856. She was left a widow with four children all of whom survive her: Mrs. Jno F. WATTS and A.G. BURTON of Palestine, Mrs. C.J. GRIGGS, of Waxahachie, Mrs. Jno E. Prince of Fredrick, OK., a stepdaughter, Mrs. Chas. STOKES of Crockett. Her death occurred on a visit to her granddaughter, Mrs. B.M.HUGHES in Dallas, on Feb. 1st. ----------Special thanks to my cousin Phyl for the obit information. Mrs. Jno E. Prince was my gg/mother. The Jonathan PRINCE family was living in Fredrick, OK around 1910, which would be the approximate date of this obit. The PRINCE line came out of White Co., TN. The BURTON's were reported by family lore to have come from Bowling Green, KY...to MS...to TX. Any information on any of these descendants would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marguerite Prince Songy
