A member of the family was named Fannie Harris. My grandfather lived with them after he was orphaned during this time frame, his name was Charles Columbus Nicks or Charlie Nicks. He left them about 1905 when turned 11 years old and ventured out on his own. I know that Fannie lived in Dallas during the 1960's. Thank you.

You have done a pretty good job yourself. Looking at the tax rolls in Kaufman County, I was mainly trying to find the father of Wm F.so your information is appreciated. I found R.S. Frasier on tax roll in 1859 then no more. I thought he might have been involved in the Civil War but that didn't pan out. We, too, have thought that possibly WCT was an uncle of Wm F. We have no idea as to who WCT's siblings were. WCT [48 in 1861]was in the 12th TX Cavalry, Co F as was Richard Frazier [24 in 1861 who died in Arcadia, LA. Oct 27 1863. James J Frazier [age 21 in 1861] also in the 12th TX Cavalry, Co C died during the war. Thought this Richard might be the one but he seems too young to be Wm F's father. Your observation that Harriet Patterson was the wife of WCT is interesting. I saw the name on the tax rolls also. How do you explain that WCT and Harriett were living in Panola Co in 1850? I had thought he married Harriett Pinson in Montgomery Co, TN.but certainly could be wrong. I have no proof to base it on.

I went to three Boyd reunions this summer and in all of them there were people who were related to the Guynes and Boyd families. I could go on and on about the family history.

To the List I am about to do something that may not be allowed to do on this list, that is to thank three people for their help in my research of Kaufman Co. for my ancestors in this area. (Fincher and Charles Jones, John O. Heath and their descendants) These three people I have thanked them privately now I would like to thank them publicly. They are Kathy Kelly Hunt, Justin M.Sanders and Jody Anderson. These three among others have helped me tremendously (sorry I can't think of the others, but them too) Again I say Thanks to all. A. Jones in Obion Co. Tenn.

I am researching John O. Heath in Kaufman Co. Tx.: John was (b) 1-30-1818 Warren Co Ky. He (m) Martha Ann Jones 12-23-1844 in Calloway Co. Ky. (she (d) 7-30-1853 in Kaufman Co. Tx.) John & Martha came to Kaufman Co in mid 1840s, they were among Kaufman Co. early pioneers. John served as 1st Lt. CSA 2nd Partisan Rangers from Kaufman Co. Is there someone who can help me find any and all info on this couple and their family? (Like the death date of John, and his burial site, also Martha's) Did John remarry after the death of Martha in 1853? Any info on this family would be appreciated. THANK YOU A. Jones [email protected]

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FkB.2ACE/1033.1.1.1 Message Board Post: [I had speculated that WCT Frazier was the father of the sought after Wm Francis Frazier-- but turns out that's not a viable connection.] I appears you've already looked through most of the haystacks, and I'm probably telling Noah about the flood, but just in case: WCT Frazier is in the 1850 Panola Co census (p157, Dwelling 188). Looks like his wife Harriett was the widow of a man named Patterson. WCT appears on the 1860 through 1866 Kaufman Co tax rolls (except for 1865) owning 220 ac of the "Harriett Patterson" survey-- there is no such survey in Kaufman Co, but there is a John M. Patterson survey in the SW part of the county right on the Henderson Co line. This is also the part of the county where the Pyles, Gentry, Burrell, etc. families lived, so perhaps Wm F was a nephew to WCT. He (WCT) doesn't appear in any later tax rolls, so he must have moved away after 1866. In the 1872, 73, 74, and 75 tax rolls, a Wm Frazier is listed in Prec 5 (which is that part of the county)-- he owned no land, but is taxed for a horse and a few head of cattle. I presume this is your Wm F. He doesn't appear in later tax rolls, so he must have moved to Bell Co around 1876. Justin M. Sanders Mobile, AL

Surnames: Frasier, Guthrie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FkB.2ACE/1033.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for your response. I had the same thought; however, Wm A and WCT were living neighbors in Mason Co in 1880. Wm F and wife Mellie were living in Bell Co. Wish it were true because it would make things simpler. Most likely our Wm is missing in someone else's research. Only his immediate kin would know about him. In 1850, he was yet to be born, in 1860 we can't find him in the census. In 1870 he is living with Wm Burrell in Kaufman Co and in 1880 is married and living in Bell Co. There is nothing to tie him to a Frazier family except court records if there are any.

Frazure (Dwell/Fam 164/164) who has a son listed as Wm. A. aged 8. This is taken from a transcript of the census, and given the horrible handwriting of the census taker in 1860, it is quite possible that the middle initial could be transcribed incorrectly. It is also possible that William, like his father had two middle names-- Francis and something beginning with A. (like Asbury). W.C.T. served briefly in Co G, 12th Texas Cavalry, but was discharged in Feb 1862 for rheumatism (he was in his late 40's)-- an abstract of his service record is on the Kaufman County GenWeb page in the Civil War section. >From the age of W.C.T.'s other children in the 1860 Census, he should be in Texas in the 1850 Census (he's not in Kaufman or Henderson).
