Mike Stanley, First I could not find info in my data bank on Harrell, Waggoner, Van Cleave or Love - but I do have the Warren Family Line, Kelly, Partlow, and Harrisons in Fannin County (Hunt Texas/Wolfe City and Rehobeth, Texas) ..... Here is what I have on Abraham .(he is my 2nd grand uncle) .....he was born 27 Jan 1826 in Sampson County, NC and died 14 Mar 1911, Wolfe City, Hunt Co, Texas, buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. Wife: Frances Caroline Simms, born 13 Mar 1827, Center,Cherokee,GA, and died in 1893 in Wolfe City and is buried beside her husband at Mt. Carmel. Her father was Reuben B Simms, born 1795 in North Carolina. He married R. B (last name unknown) about 1816 in Upson,GA. Reuben and his wife died in Itawamba, MS as far as I know after 1860. They had 10 children. Abraham's sister Nancy 'Nan' married John David Partlow in Georgia 26 Feb 1846. They had raised 9 children in Fannin County/ Wolfe City. After John David died, Nan married his brother Samuel Partlow. One of Nan's daughter's Edney Jane Partlow married my great grand father John King Kelly in 1866 in Hunt, Texas. Sadly, Edney,John, and their baby Fannie during the summer of 1878 during the typhoid epidemic. Nan (Edney Jane's mother Partlow raised John and Edney's two boys, Will (William Thomas Kelly) and David Andrew Kelly as her own in Hunt/Rehobeth Texas. I have found little or nothing on my Kelly family John King and his parents. All I know is they were Irish immigrants before the famine. My family historian on the Warrens and Hunt Texas is my dear cousin, Bob Wilson ...... he is a great resource. ANY information on the Kelly family in Hunt Texas/ Wolfe City or Rehobeth will be so greatly appreciated. !! . I have looked for years. The spelling could be Kelley perhaps or O'Kelly in earlier days. Will (Wm Thomas Kelly) married Medora Victory Harrison from Tippah MS (her family origin is the Jame River Harrisons, related to both President Harrisons) Back to the Warrens..... I have the Warren family lineage back to 1435 in Dover England. Captain Thomas Warren is our immigrant from England, who died 21 April 1670 on Smith's Fort Plantation, Virginia.

WARREN, LEVI GREENVILLE INDEPENDENT SATURDAY, 22 FEB 1868, PAGE 1 "THE REGISTERED VOTERS OF HUNT COUNTY, TEXAS" WARREN, ABR. - Nancy's Brother WARREN, LEVI - Newspaper article: The National Road crossed South Sulphur Creek south of Wolfe City and about the old road crossing lately abandoned when the Wolfe City Pike was built, and at the mouth of Short's Creek. Mose Warren, a native of Hunt County, who lives at Wolfe City, related to me the story of the downing of young Rambo, a Confederate soldier, at this crossing. He was returning to his home after The Surrender. He came to the crossing within a few miles of home. There had just been a quick heavy rain, and Short Creek was up. He rode into Sulphur at this crossing at the mouth of Short Creek and was caught in the swift current and was drowned Family: Ben Briscoe's father, a Baptist preacher, settled at old Rehobeth on the north line of this county in 1845. He later bought land and moved to the Shut In Prairie, west of where Clinton is now located. Ben Briscoe remembers well traveling this road from old Rehobeth to the Shut-In Prairie. On one trip, Tom and Jerry, the ox team, ran away and bruised up Eph Briscoe, and that night they were cared for by the father of Sandy Cameron. After this road had been surveyed and was in use, an Indian raid occurred, and the pioneers gathered to offer resistance and gave chase to the marauders. They were proceeding up this National Road when their scouts brought in information of the enemy. A council of war was held in a pecan grove on the side of this road about five miles northeast from this place. This grove was on the east side of a farm now owned by M. C. Pickett, and south from old Hogeye, and I am told some pecan trees are still there. This grove has always since that time been known as "Council Grove" and is well remembered by the old settlers. The Old Central National Road did not last as a road. It was abandoned because the natural development of this section fixed the lines of travel counter to its direction. Jefferson became the metropolis and trade center, and travel and roads radiated from Jefferson as a center. At that early day this road didn't start from anywhere or reach any decided destination and it was soon abandoned and forgotten as the new roads sprang up radiating from Jefferson. Wolfe City was not incorporated until later. I did a sampling of my ancestors in that area. Andrew Wilson who was on the NE side of the city was in 6, Robert F. Wilson was in 5 and Abram Warren who was on the SE side of the city was in 5. I guess I would have to say 5 as Andrew was further out. His property was almost to the Rehoboth Cemetery and sat across the county line.

When they arrived, the game was plentiful. It became more crowded later. Most of them were farmers. Some were horse traders or blacksmiths. Some moved on to West Texas which was the frontier. One Warren moved out there and virtually disappeared. Mom and Dad found some land records of him. He was a sheriff or marshall. Lived in a dugout. Evidently married again but I don't remember when or where his first wife died. His land was sold by his widow to the XIT ranch. Dad suspected there was some foul play with his death and the sell of his land. Somewhere I have a photograph of Abram's house, not his original one though. I need to hook up my scanner again so I can finish the job on my old photos. Wolfe City was not incorporated until later. I did a sampling of my ancestors in that area.
