Amanda Elizabeth Garner is my GG Grandmother b 1840 married Jacob Reagan Laymance. I have a lot on this branch also there were other Garner's who married into the family I have less on them. If you believe the world tree data they go back to English Royalty through other lines nice if it were proven. I have her parents and grandparents and some of their family.

The prime requisites for all materials are that they should be as useful in 50 years as they are today. We will strive to publish a variety of material on each of the six counties represented by ETGS. Although exceptions may be made, material relating to our six counties prior to 1900 are of the most interest. Articles concerning other areas will be used occasionally if of sufficient interest to many people. Material from old and/or rare unindexed books will also be considered. Priority will be given to courthouse, Bible and cemetery records, but we are very interested in publishing the following types of source material: Biographical Family Sketches, Lodge Records, Old Diary Accounts, Census Records, Marriage Records, Old Letters, Commissioners Court Minutes, Military Muster Rolls, Post Offices, Confederate Records, Mortality Schedules, Probate Abstracts, Deed and Land Records, Newspaper Clippings, School Lists, Jury Lists, Obituaries of East Texas Citizens, Tax Lists, Library Microfilm Holdings, and Voter Lists.

When submitting cemetery records, please give exact location of cemetery, date copied and name of copier. PUBLICATION: To be considered for publication, an item or article should have a reliable reference and should not be based entirely on "tradition." We do not wish to publish items from books now in print, however, such references may be used as footnotes to clarify sources. Please be certain all material is legible. Xerox copies can be used, but typewritten articles are preferred to avoid errors in transcribing handwritten material. Please include your name, address, e-mail address and day-time telephone number with all material submitted. The editor must retain the right to accept or reject materials and to edit those chosen for publications. Credit will be given to each contributor.

However, we strive to publish reliable source material, and errors will be corrected when submitted in writing. ETGS POLICY ON THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICALS The East Texas Genealogical Society strives to publish a maximum of genealogical information at minimum costs, in order that the Society's publications may be widely available to all who are interested. Consistent with this objective, certain restraints are necessary in regard to replacement of periodicals, which were not received by the intended recipients. Hence, if a member, institution or other organization fails to receive a copy of THE EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS, the quarterly, ETGS must be notified within six months of the publication date of that issue. Otherwise, the intended recipient will be supplied a replacement copy only if copies are still available and only at the published price. The ETGS Newsletter, "The Bulletin," primarily carries news of short-term interest and back issues will not normally be supplied. If there is a special need for back issues, the recipient will be quoted a price for which they may be ordered. PUBLICATION DATES ARE: MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, and DECEMBER 31 of each year. Scott Fitzgerald, 1st Vice-President

They left Georgia after the birth of their first child Drewry I Wheat b. 1849 - 1850 and their second child was born in Mississippi Nancy E. Wheat born in 1852 their third child Mary A. Wheat was born in Texas and the 1860 Census shows them in Henderson County. They reportedly traveled with her father Isaac J. Laymance and possibly other family members. They stopped in Mississippi due to harsh winter weather. This is family lore but the census shows where the children were born. William is reported to have died in 1862 and Matilda remarried James W Crumpler in a short time their first child was born in 1863. In 1880 Census they show up in Hopkins County. There were 5 Wheat Children in the 1870 Census and 5 Crumpler Children in the 1880 Census. 1870 Census Drewry I Wheat is listed as Isaac D. Wheet The name in 1880 is again Wheat. I am seeking any information on this family and their descendants. I have more information on them if it is needed by anyone.
