Hi all. I'm still here too (smile)! Have been looking for any information re: Pleas Watson aka Joe Copeland who was killed in a gambling shootout in Paris, Tx. in Sept. 1902. My husband's line goes back to Joe Copeland, or is it Watson, lol! I have one piece of information which says Joe Copeland m. Jessie Nettleton, yet another says his father in law was a Dr. Adams. Any and all insight is very appreciated. All apparently resided in Paris but I can find no mention of Jessie Nettleton or a wife named Adams. Thanks and have a great day! Nancy

I'm here! Where are you? <g> I'm also looking for info on families that lived in Lamar Co., TX around 1900 - WHITAKER, VICKRY/VICKERY, ISON, GOTCHER. Thanks. Sorry, no info on LAIN?LANE, HUBBARD & GRAY families that lived in Lamar Co., TX around 1900.

Minnie Catherine (Smith) Fox was born 21 Sep 1894 and died 29 Nov 1968. She is buried in Meadowbrook Cemetery in Lamar Co., TX. Is Meadowbrook Cemetery located in Paris? I am trying to locate Minnie's parents and siblings, therefore I am interested in obtaining an obituary? If someone could help, I would certainly be grateful. Carla

Hello, I just found out that my Joe Copeland is actually Pleas/Pleson Watson and was well-known in Lamar Cty. (Paris, Tx.), Dallas and San Angelo. If this is true it opens up a couple of new family lines: Yaws and Tom, also from Lamar Cty. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated! Apparently Joe Copeland was killed in a shootout in 1902, Paris, Tx. He had a wife and 3 children but I have no names. Was this wife a Copeland or was she a Watson? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Historically yours, Nancy Copeland

ricknbob if you get holdof the census for lamar caounty let me know ok

Help!, I am seeking information and assistance on locating my Clark family ancestors in Smith/VanZandt Co. The 1850 census of Van Zandt lists Isom Clark, b. 1797. It also included Joseph Clark, b. 1825, Tennessee. These two families lived next to each other in that census. In the 1860 census, both families lived in Smith Co. I believe that this Isom Clark is my ggg grandfather and Joseph Clark is my gg grandfather. I believe that Joseph had at least two sons and they were named Isom Jackson Clark and Benjamin Franklin Clark. Benjamin Franklin was born in Missouri in 1847, and is listed on the 1850 census. Isom Jackson Clark was born in Van Zandt Co., in either 1851 or 1857, and is listed on the 1860 census. Benjamin Franklin Clark left Smith Co. and moved to Williamson Co. where he was married to Martha Donnell. He lived in Williamson Co. for a short while before moving to Bell Co. and then to Brown Co for the census of 1880. He is then located in Lamar Co. for 1900. Isom Jackson Clark left VanZandt/Smith Co and travelled to Williamson/Burnet Co where he was married in 1877 to Margaret Greer, daughter of James and Amanda Greer. I would like to share information with anyone doing research on this family. Also if you should know of anyone doing research on this family, I would appreciate receiving their name and address. Keith Reed

Hi List, I'm new to this list and in much need of help with these two families. Sarah Ann Davis Phillips moved too Lamar County with her 3 children - James Benton b.1882 Little Rock, Ark, Eula b. 1884, Hugh b.? Sarah's husband, Joseph, left her and their 3 children in Missouri and went to Washington with 2 sons by a previous marriage. She lost the farm and moved to Paris, Lamar County, when ?, did she have family there and if so who are they ?

It's my understanding that they owned a trucking company. James Benton Phillips b. 1/1/1882 d 4/13/1954 in Sanger, Fresno, Calif. Jim married Sudie Ann Key on 11/29/1902 in Lamar County. Sudie was the daughter of William Key, Keyes,Kees and Mary Nail/Nell/Nale/Nall. She was born 6/17/1886 Lamar County died 8/14/1971 Sanger, Fresno Calif. Jim and Sudie had the following children . Elmer b. 1907 Lewis Russel b. 1908 d. abt 1918 b. Old Post Oak Cemetery. ( I've been told this cemetery had a freeway built over it ?) Alvin Eddie b. 7/30/1914 Robert b. 1919 Claudine b. 1924 William and Mary Key had the following children + some I don't have Alice m J.L Bolinger 7/2/1896 Lamar County Mary E. b. 11/9/1869 d. 5/16/1930, b. Post Oak Cemetery m. James C. Brumley 8/29/1886 Lamar County Ike - had a daughter Dell who married a Mr. Barton George Sudie/Suda Ann I would be so appreciative of anyone that can get me on up the road with these lines.
