Kae Thank you so much I had 2 or 3 of his boy but no girls. I knew about Will Wolverton's wife but was unsure of her parents. This is just wonderful. If I can help you let me know I am in Limestone Co. all the time. In fact my parents bought the Wolverton house in Groesbeck & I still own it. Have you been in contact with the man who is doing the Wolverton research? If not I have his email address here. Pat Oates in TX.

Seeking any information on my grandmother and family. Dora Emeline Cadenhead b. July 17, 1889 (no proof, but she said this was where she was born) Mexia, Limestone Co. TX. Parents names: Father Thomas Sears Cadenhead Mother Sarah A. Stone Brothers and sisters Charles A. Cadenhead James W. Cadenhead Hardy A. Cadenhead Alice D. Cadenhead Odie C. Cadenhead Eva J. Cadenhead May S. Cadenhead + 3 that died as infants, names unknown. The children were born each in a different county from Comanche to Smith Co. and places in between. I have good records on them and on grandmother's parents. Would like to confirm birth and or residence in Limestone Co. of Dora E. Cadenhead, and her parents.

Lorie If this could be your Meekins in Polk Co. I know some of the Polk Co. people came into Limestone around this time. My Husband's Oates family was one of them. Pat Oates in TX.

Ann I will print this off & when I go back into my LCT census I will copy them for you if you can read them. Some parts of my film is very weak ink. I think my Limestone Co. data base is going great. I am most happy as I have just been able though it to give a man in CA. his Grandmother in the house of his GGrandparents that he has been searching for over 30yrs. & through other info. I had in it knew where to go & find the marriages of his GGrandparents along with a bro. of the same family. Now have put him onto a possible Anglin connection in IL & VA. I am as happy as this man is because it told me all my work was not for nothing. Pat Oates in TX. Ann I guess you do not need the look up now. I am having mail problems still & could not get this message out yesterday.

Kae By any chance did your Martha Alford Thetford belong to the Noel Alford families in Limestone Co. TX ? I have done some work on that family & have also been told one of the Wolverton men married an Alford. I am not related to these lines I just do Limestone Co. genealogy. Pat Oates in TX.

In 1935 a Bi-stone Empire Pioneer Club was organized seemingly by the Mexia Daily News. Letters stating interest in joining the organization and a short autobiography of the person seeking membership were published in the Mexia Daily News. The letters were addressed to W. K. Boyd, president and general manager of the paper and to B. H. Broiles, editor. Members were from Limestone and Freestone counties. There is a picture taken in front of the Mexia City Auditorium at the Mexia Public Library with a banner behind a group of people which reads, Pioneers Headquarter. My mother, a native of Wortham, recognized one couple in the picture that were from Wortham. Perhaps there were some meetings of the group at the auditorium. I was unable to find microfilm of the Mexia Daily News at the paper and at the library. The issue my family has is dated Oct. 16, 1935. One of my great grandmothers, Martha Waddell "Pattie" Alford Thetford, wrote a letter stating her interest in joining the club which was published in this issue. Part of her letter is missing. There is great history and information in most of the letters. Does anyone have any ideas where all the issues pertaining to the group might be found? Kae Moody Shaw "A Limestone Co.

This came from another list I am on and is interesting enough to look at- a form of tombstone/tomb that I had not seen before- Slot and Tab Tombs http://www.darkfiber.com/tomb/

Hi List Anyone on the list working on Marcus & Jane Gillett Wilson or William & Susan Gillett Wilson that are in the 1860 Limestone Co. census? Marcus Wilson family is at #391 & William Wilson & family are # 407. John Anglin is living between these 2 Wilson families & John Anglin is the son of Elisha & Rachel Wilson Anglin. These families came into Limestone Co. from IL. It looks from the birth place of the children that they came into TX after 1850. The above 2 Wilson men married in Coles Co. IL. about 1840. Pat Oates in TX.

Charles W. McElroy was born in Perry County Alabama November 4, 1844. In 1892 C. W. and Fannie McElroy were living in Kirk, Limestone County, Texas. This information was obtained from estate records of his parents Nathan Reed and Margaret Craig McElroy. Any information on Charles W. McElroy and descendants will be appreciated. Lyn Lucas, an Alabama Cousin

Hi Patricia and list, My g-grandfather was James W. "Jim" BERRY. He married Holly SPRINGFIELD. Holly's family was living in Limestone Co., by 1850 and she was born about 1854, probably in Limestone or Falls County. "Jim" was born Jul 1848 in Texas or Alabama and may have had a father called, "Jack" BERRY. I was hoping that he was counted in the census. None of the names you mentioned sounded familiar but I don't know enough about the family to give a considered opinion. Thanks for your interest.
