Need information on following family: John E. ROWLAND b. abt 1843 KY and wife, Mary Jane KEELING GIBSON ROWLAND b. 1842 in Towncreek , AL, living in Mexia in 1880 (Census) and have moved to Dallas by 1889. John Rowland dies in Dallas abt. 1890. Mary Jane Rowland dies in Dallas 1935-1937. John Rowland may have owned a general/hardware/dry goods store in either Mexia or Groesbeck. In 1880, they have two children, John b. abt 1879 and Mary b. abt 1875, both in TX, possibly Limestone County. Also living with them are Mary Jane�s daughters, Lily GIBSON b. abt 1862 and Camille Irene GIBSON, b 25 Dec 1865. Lilly Gibson marries J. W. HAGERMAN in Limestone County on 24 Jan 1881. Camille Gibson marries Emanuel S. INNERARITY in Limestone County on 15 Sep 1883 or 1884. Questions: Where do they come to TX from? (Possibly MS). (Of course, the story is they had to leave MS in the middle of the night, etc. etc.) Are there other family members, ROWLANDS, KEELINGS or HAGERMANS, living in Limestone County at the same time?na If anybody else is working on these families, please let me know. THANKS!! Jean

David, Could your Nora Bell have had a brother Joseph? I have Joseph Philmore Winningham Jr., born 1887 in Texas. He was a son of Joseph Philmore Winningham and Jane Berryman. They were in Limestone Co census in 1900, ed 56, Pct. 3, hh 79.

David ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2001 19:40:42 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: fife, davis, My father, Ira Lee Davis, who was an orphan was taken in by a wonderful family named Fife in the 1920's. I think they lived in Forest Glade, Texas in Limestone county. My father attended a school there and I wonder if there are any records or photographs to be had? Also church records. I would like to thank the Fife family if I can find any one of them. Respectfully, Claude D. Davis 12445 Fairfax Ridge Place, Austin, Texas 78738. Phone (512) 263-7368.

I was at the Library today and saw the Limestone County, Texas, Cemetery Survey published by Limestone County Historical Museum. I wonder if someone can give me the location of the Wood Cemetery or Cedar Island Cemetery. My Great Greatgrandfather John Kelly Wood (1818-1876) and GGGrandmother Ann Elizabeth Sawyers Wood (1819-1879) were both buried on their home place in Cedar Island. Loyd Wood (June 25, 1893 - Feb 23, 1979 buried in Armour Cemetery) showed me the location in 1967. It was under trees and their burial spots were simply marked with rocks. In 1967 there was no sign that this was a family burial plot, We had to drive off the road through a field to get to the location. It was called the "Wood Cemetery" by Loyd Wood. I am wondering if the Wood Cemetery or Cedar Island Cemetery is the same cemetery where my John Kelly Wood & wife are buried? I would appreciate any help any one can give me. Thanks. Margaret

Hope this will help someone. Pat Oates in TX. Mr. John Story and Miss Josephine Winston, Mexia, March 23. Mr. John Story and Miss Josephine Winston, Groesbeck, March 28. Marriage from April 2 1891 early TX newspaper. Death: Mr. F. D. Lonn, Thornton, April 13 1891 Up to date Mexia has shipped 25,808 bales of cotton. Feb 1893 Land has been secured at Mexia on which to erect a cotton mill to cost between $78,000 and $100,000. Feb 1893 A. L. Carter, who lives about thirteen miles from Mexia, has discovered on his land what promises to be a fine quality of coal. That discovered is a cropping out in a branch and the strata is more than half a mile long that can be seen, with implications of an inexhaustible quantity in the vicinity. Feb 1893

Pat Was this not the gentleman who wrote the History of LimestoneCounty some years ago. I met him in the library at Groesbeck when I was there a couple of years ago and we had a great chat. He said his book was out of print but he had a couple at home -- I think he lived in Waco -- with bad covers and he would send me one. A couple of weeks later, there it was in my mailbox! It is always sad to lose someone and especially someone as friendly and helpful and knowledgeable as he! love joan For this is the day that the Lord hath made Join me in rejoicing in it, and let us be glad!

I have seem numerous people refer to the Praire Hill Cemetery in Watt. For the information of those concerned Prairie Hill Cemetery is located in Prairie Hill, TX. The city of Watt doesn't have a cemetery, they use Billington Cemetery. Don McFarland

Joan That was Ray & yes he will be missed.

Which Michum did your great aunt marry. I am also kin to the Rutherford and Michums. My grandmother was a Michum before she married a Crockett from Limestone and they are all buried in Prairie Hill Cemetary in Watt and my gggrandfathers 2 brothers married Rutherfords.

Debra, I am researching the Rutherford name and I have a Great-aunt whom married a Michum. Let's exchange information. Candy Addison Love from Lubbock

Pat, I too am very sorry about your friend's passing. Please accept my condolences. I lost my Mother November 14, and it is not easy to get over the loss of someone you love. Take Care Wanda

Pat, Sure was sorry to hear about the passing of your dear friend even though i did not know him. My condolences to his family also. My daughter and her husband just buried his father on the 6th of Dec. He was only 46 and had a heart attack.
