RE: DERRICK, HOOKS, DENNIS I am doing research on my grandmother PEARL VIOLA DERRICK, b. Nov. 3, 1888. She married my grandfather, JAMES ANDREW DENNIS,( b. 24 Oct, 1883) in Hunt County (near Greensville) in March 7, 1904. The marriage was conducted by Judge Rike. My grandmother's parents were WILLIAM F. DERRICK, b. abt 1855-1859. and LOUISA VIRGINIA (HOOKS) DERRICK. They were married in Collin, County, Precinct 2, Texas near Farmersville on March 4, 1880 (marriage records V.4, page 555). My question is: I am trying to ascertain the mother and father of WILLIAM F. DERRICK and cannot find anything on either PARENTS. I suspect WILLIAM F. DERRICK'S father's was WILLIAM M. DERRICK, b abt 1825 also lived in Collin County and is buried in Collin County. He is shown on the 1870 Collin County census living in Highland, Precinct 3, Collin County. However the name has not been confirmed as being the father of William F. Derrick. Could you help or point me in a direction that I might find out/confirm the father and mother of William F. Derrick. Can anyone out there help? Audrey Valente E-mail: [email protected]
