Hi Everyone, I thought I would pass this on to you. Flo has told us she has moved the folling links to rootsweb. So the addresses we have in our Texas Links are no good any more. Debbie will put these on our new page as soon as she is able to get it up and running.

Was there a newspaper in Hillsboro back in the early 1900s, if so are there copies of it? Sandra Prochnow (Carpenter, Brown, Duncan)

Someone asked last week and I have been inquiring as to what might have happened to Ellis Bailey's notes. The following email is from Cleo Davis. She is a Hillsboro resident and historian. --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Ellis Bailey is deceased but I don't remember when he died. I also don't remember if he had more than the son that was killed in Vietnam but Ann Dudley Bailey remarried an Army officer who left the service and I think became an Episcopal priest. They were living up North the last I heard. Ann was an only child; her parents are deceased. That's about all I know. Richard Greenhill probably knows what happened to any papers Ellis had. Some of the material in Ellis's book was not "fact" and well documented. He listed a bunch of men as being Confederate soldiers. I don't know where he got his info but it was incorrect. I was told he took the names off tombstones and anyone who was born early enough to be in the Civil War he showed as a soldier for the South. We do have Yankee soldiers in our cemeteries! Also, there were many who never went to war--some serving on the home front in a type of home guard. It is interesting that if a man served the Confederacy in any fashion--even as water boy--it would be in his obituary, but if he was a Union man nothing will be said. I was told there were no Union men in the Old Hillsboro Cemetery. This is definitely not true. When you walk in the Waco Street entrance there is a Union marker to the right by the wall. This is one of two union memorial markers I know of there and I know of at least three more men buried in the cemetery who were Union soldiers--but there obits don't say so. They are listed in the 1890 Veterans Census. --------- End forwarded message ---------- Karen (Brooks) Cotten ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I asked Marshall and Marshall about the Leatherwood records and was told they do not have them. I wonder if someone else might have the records?
