This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stephenson,Glasgow,Glasco,Ratliff,Hudson,Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YlB.2ACI/1952 Message Board Post: Does anyone have the cemetery records for Delta County,TX? I am looking for the resting place of Susan Delila Glasgow or Glasco. Susan Delila Glasgow or Glasco lived with the George Alexander Stephenson family beginning in 1870 in Madison Co,Al. Her maiden name was spelled "Glasgow" on that census. She lived with George Alexander Stephenson on the 1880 census of Limestone Co,Al. About 1885 George Alexander Stephenson and his wife Elizabeth Sarah Perry moved to Lamar Co,TX. I am sure that Susan Delila made the trip with them. In 1888, George Alexander Stephenson's daughter,Elizabeth Betty Stephenson,married Jefferson Davis Ratliff in Lamar Co,TX. Lamar Co,TX. marriage records show her as "Bell" Stephenson and her husband as J.D. Ratliff. In 1900, Susan Glasco was living in the home of Jefferson Davis Ratliff and his wife Elizabeth Betty or "Bell" Stephenson Ratliff in Delta Co,TX. She was 62 years of age,born in May of 1838,according to the census record. About 1909 Dr. Jefferson Davis Ratliff and family moved to Seymour,TX,Baylor Co,and they appear on the 1910 census,but Susan Delila Glasgow/Glasco was not listed in the household. So,Susan either died or married again between 1900 and 1910. On line resources are limited at the Baylor Co,TX Genweb site,so I can't find any on line record for Susan Delila in that county. Other surnames I am researching in Lamar Co,TX are Smith and Hudson I would greatly appreciate any help with Susan Delila in Delta Co,TX! Tom Stephenson

Yes, I can't recall the name of the street but it was located SW of the plaza.

Is this person African-American? 519 N.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YlB.2ACI/1951 Message Board Post: Maryville Times, (Blount Co. TN) Thursday, December 19, 1895: "Shot Him Dead---Several years ago William Kennedy, a son of Alex. Kennedy who died several months ago at his home near Rockford at the advanced age of 94, moved to Texas with his family and settled near Paris. He bought some land joining that of a man named Amos Wright. A dispute later arose over the dividing line between the farms. Kennedy had a civil engineer to survey it off. Kennedy and Wright were present when the dispute was decided, the surveyor locating the line several yards over on the ground claimed by Wright. When it was finished Kennedy was standing nearby with his little son, Walter, then six years old. Wright came at him for a fight, but Kennedy only attempted to ward off his blows. Suddenly Wright drew from his pocket a bowie knife and plunged it into Kennedy’s side. The blood spurted forth and Kennedy only lived a few minutes. Before he died he called his son to his side and spoke to him, telling him what to do with his mother and little brother and sisters. The lad, though only six years old, took his father’s hand and as the last spark of life left him said: “Ill be a man someday, father, and when I am I’ll kill Amos Wright.” Nothing more was ever thought of the matter and eleven years had gone quietly by but the boy’s resolution and promise to his dying father were still within him. On the morning of the 7th of Dec., he went to the home of Wright and waited for him to come out. As the murderer of eleven years made his appearance, the young man raised his gun and shot him dead. After the tragedy the young man went to his grandfather’s home and sent word to the sheriff what he had done. The affair caused intense excitement but it is not thought that Kennedy will be punished under the circumstances. The boy who did the killing is a grandson of Alex. Kennedy spoken of above and he has several aunts and uncles living in this county. The above facts were learned from a letter to relatives."
