Hello List Is there anyone on the list who works the Roundtree family? At one time we did have someone on the list who was working this family. I have made some connections for this family that would be of interest to any line connected to the Roundtree family. Pat Oates in TX

David I do not have a Hope or McNabb family in my data base at all. They must be in a part of Limestone Co that I have not worked very well. I have lots out of the north end of the county to work on. Do you know if the child of Abner M Hope is really named Sollie? I have a Solly/Solley family that I work out of ALA.

Hi David I see you are still at it also :>). The Sarah Ann Meek b: 11 Sept 1866 is the only child of William & Martha E Chisum Meeks that I do not have a husband for so I can not help you. I also think Martha Chisum may have been a second marriage for William Meeks since I show her being married to John Chapman & a child Rush Chapman b: abt 1861. This makes me think it was a 2nd marriage for both Martha & William. I think I found William Meek living 1850 Carroll Co ARK with his Grand Parents next door to his Parents. This large group of Chisum families are intermarried with a George family & a bunch of them are in Cherokee Co TX where the Rev David Tidwell family is in 1850. I am wondering if these families were moving together. Too many Limestone Co TX families in Cherokee Co TX 1850 for it to have just happened.

Att: Cantonjoeocho I do not have y our John O. Sharp in my family line, but I do I have a large number of Sharps. Two brothers, Anthony and Spencer, arrived in Limestone County with their large families in the 1850s. I know that John O. does not belong in Spencer's line, but there are many descendants of Anthony in Limestone and adjacent counties. Then there is Melvin Sharp, whom I believe to be a nephew of Anthony and Spencer. So look to those lines for John O. If you wish, e-mail me and I may be able to help you more. love, joan

Wilds K. Cooke, an early Texas doctor, was the brother of Hiram W. Cooke, Texas Ranger in Coryell County, and of Louis P. Cooke, Texas Secretary of the Navy. Dr. Wilds K. Cooke died in Limestone/Robertson County in April 1882 near Bald Prairie. He was survived by his wife Mary D. Hutcheson and his adopted son Brown K. Cooke (born abt. 1869). Would like to know where Wilds was buried and what became of Brown. Best regards, Karen Trouvat

I guessed at Bertha’s family. HOUSEHOLD #387: 1. HARRIETT HENSON 3g-gm - age 52, Head of Household (This is widow of WILLIAM SHELBY HENSON 3g-gf & mother/father of WILLIAM HENSON 2g-gf 2.

Since McDonald was the maiden name of Harriet Henson – mother of William Henson – it caught my attention. In 1850 Census (outlined above) the family of D. S. MCDONALD is living next door to his Henson relatives. In the 1880 Census above William & Bertha are living in Limestone County, Texas. I did a McDoanld search in Limestone County & came up with a M. L. McDonald, wife Lucy, and children. Lucy’s age, birthplace, and parent’s birthplace matched the 1850 Census above for the O’Neal’s. Upon further research I discovered Marcus, son of D. S. McDonald, age 12, and living next door to his Aunt Harriet McDonald Henson in the 1850 Census was named Marcus Lafayette – matching the initials M. L. Thanks!! Martha

There used to be a link to many of the Limestone County cemeteries before the current transciption project was initiated. I tried the link yesterday and it is no longer working. Is there a new link to the transciptions? Also need death date and cemetery for Abner McNabb Hope born April 1840 died in Limestone county between the 1900 and 1910 census records.
