I am related to the Lewis' in the Woodbury Cemetery. My grandfather's half sister married Fletcher Levi "Shug" Lewis. There are many decendants still living in Woodbury that I can hook you up with if you think you are related. I'm really not sure where Shug came from, but his wife, Annie, was born in Colbert Co., AL, in 1894. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Any data would be greatly appreciated. Kittie Wilson

Hello, It is the time of year when many new researchers are coming on line to do their genealogy research. I believe we have developed a tool to help them. I hope you will encourage their visit by forwarding this message to them. Many hours have been spent recently compiling a new "Texas Cemeteries Directory" which is hoped to benefit every Texas Genealogy Researcher and at the same time encourage the preservation of our Cemeteries. The new Directory shows over 21,000 cemeteries found on line with information about where each one was found in an easy to use format. The directory includes information about those cemeteries that have been inventoried and where to find them. So far those who have visited this new Directory have made such comments as "What a neat idea." & "You've really hit on something here." In addition our web site hosts the list of cemeteries which have reached the protected status of "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation, whose program was developed by "The Texas Historical Commission". We also have a special page where those who have labored to write books about our cemeteries can announce the availability of those books, sell the books, buy a book, or trade them. Most well organized cemetery inventory projects sell the books to fund the project. We all know how expensive it is to work in our cemeteries and believe this is a vital part of encouraging their preservation. There is lots more to see, so come check us out, and while you're there leave a message about a neglected cemetery in our guest book. These posts are followed up on by the folks at "Save Texas Cemeteries" and the folks who manage the "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation program. With your participation it is our hope to encourage the location, inventory and preservation of our Historic Texas Cemeteries. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~txcemeteries/ We look forward to your visit, donna _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Posted on: Hill County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Hill/1046 Surname: WILLIAMS, SMITH ------------------------- I'm looking for information on the WILLIAMS family who settled in Hill county sometime after the Civil War. Ringtown is mentioned in some paperwork that I have. George WILLIAMS and his sister Elizabeth WILLIAMS SMITH lived in Hill county for a short time before moving to west (the area) TX and may have lived in West (the town) for awhile. George was married but I do not know his wife's name. I have pictures of Williams children (young men) taken in Colorado (now City) TX probably around the 1890's. Elizabeth was a widow when she moved to Texas from Arkansas. Her husband was Alexander Joseph SMITH.
