hi jane, my name is Debra and my gggrandmother was a Maryann Whitehurst who was born in Henry county Al and died in watt Tx. Watt is about 20 miles from waco. they were in Thorton, Watt, and Waco. She is buried in Prarie Hil Cemetary in Watt Tx. she was born 02-26-1851 Henry county AL and died 10-14-1932.Watt Tx I am only 41 so i never knew her. I dont know her parents names either maybe you could keep me in mind. also i have Lamberts in my tree so do you. I am know working on a Kelly from Jasper co that might be related way back on my grandfathers side the Crocketts. Haven't found the proof yet but I do know that we are related to Davy Crockett somehow. I have traced me back 7 generations on the Crockett side. My ggrandmother married a William Daniel Michum in 1872 possibly Shelby or Limestone Co, Tx. I do have some papers on Maryann but they are vague on her. One of her children was named Henry Ollie Michum. could that possibly be what HO stands for. I ma also going to forward this message to my cousin who lives in Waco as she is working on the whithurst and Michums also. Your possible cousin Debra in Tx. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jane combs" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 11:38 AM Subject: [LIMEST] Whitehurst > Looking for parents of H.O.

Hello Debra! Thanks for writing. Hey, I live in Waco!! This is very interesting indeed. My Whitehurst family came from Henry Co., AL also. We MUST be cousins one way or another. I lived outside of Groesbeck at Lake Limestone for 10 years. My husband and I were from Waco, but he bought this lake lot to be his retirement place. Decided to go on and move there. After 10 years of living in the boondocks I wanted to move back to Waco. But he loved the place and didn't want to. All of a sudden at Christmas 1999, he said we were moving back home. We moved back to Waco in Feb. 2000 and he died May 2000!! Tell me he didn't know something... Anyway, the only Whitehursts in Waco for many a year was just my family of Whitehursts. Didn't know there were any more around. This H.O. Whitehurst was from Groesbeck and it made me wonder about him. I talked to his daughter Frances years ago and she didn't want to talk to me. Said something about his being from Bell Co., Tx, but that his original Whitehurst family came from Henry Co., AL! At that time, I had just started looking for the Whitehursts and didn't know about Henry Co. AL. After I had all this information about them, I called her back right before we moved back to Waco and she wouldn't even talk to me. Said she knew nothing! Then I find out after she died a month or so ago that she and her mother were members of the DAR!! didn't know anything my foot! But, I'm still wondering if he was part of the family, thats the only reason I sent in the query. Off hand I don't remember seeing a Maryann in my files, but I'll sure check it out tomorrow. What is your cousins name, the one in Waco who is researching Whitehurst? Good, lord, we really might be cousins afterall. Last year I went on the internet to check out the Whitehurst forum and there was a girl looking for information about her grandfather, Herbert Monroe Whitehurst. Well that was MY grandfather. I sent her an email and come to find out, she is my uncle Arthur Whitehurst's daughter!! One I didn't even know about. I love finding new cousins. This is wonderful. She and I will have to share our files on the Whitehursts. You too, if you'd like. Mine starts with Elizabeth, maiden name unknown married to an unknown Whitehurst. Her son John is my ancestor. Where do you live? Close by? Maybe we could all get together sometime. I have a bunch of Whitehurst Books I've been putting together for years, not just text, but pictures, marriage certificates, all kinds of goodies. Most of the family has been great loaning me pictures, marriage licenses, divorce records, birth certificates, etc. Bet you can't tell that I love this, can you? Haha I'd like to drive to Watt and find Maryann's grave and take a picture of it. I'll find out where she belonged. My husband had one Lambert in his family and I have several in mine. I use the FamilyTreeMaker program. It's a great program! I have over 13,700 family in my file and 10,200 in my husbands file. I have a lot of Kelly/Kelleys in my file. It starts with John Kelley. They were mostly in MS. Tell your cousin to call me sometime so we can compare our Whitehursts. My number is 751-1219. I'm always home except to run to the store or drug store. My sons took over my husbands Marble Business and I stay at home and keep the books for them. Just like I did for my husband for about 20 years. The only difference is that THEY PAY ME!! Yea! Well, I guess this was more than you wanted to know, but I love genealogy and I guess I love to talk too! haha. Take care and don't lose me! Send me a note when you have the time.

Well Jane, I believe that we are related whitehurst family my ggggrandmother Mary Ann i am through their son Willie Rufus and thenBertie Leora and Lola Faye was my mom. Mary is her first name and Ann her middle name. I have alot of relatives in Waco. As a matter of fact we have a Kimball/Michum reunion every other year and our next one will be next summer in waco. My cousin name is Apala wilson and it is her husband who is actually related but she is still my cousin by marriage and the one doing the reseach. Sure would be nice to finall learn abut our Whitehurst family. In Henry county AL there is a Whitehurst family # 734 in the year 1860 They were Whitehurst, JAJ 39 farmer b AL Elizabeth E 25 b Fl (your Elizabeth?) born in Florida Rebecca A 15 b Fl Martha J 12 b AL Mary A 10 Al (I believe this to be my ggramdmother as she was born in 1851) John M 8 b Al (this could be your John) Caladonia 6 b Al (we believe her to be living with Mary Ann Whitehurst Michum and William Willie Daniel Michum in 1880) William L.G. 5 Al Richard M 3 Al was your John b around 1852 if so then the John above might be your John and my Mary Ann his sister Their are other Whitehurst heads of household that would possibly be this JAJ brothers also 1860 Henry Co AL Bray age 43 b Ga S.A age 47 b AL Micajah age 49 Nc Richard age 31 b AL Also living near by is a John Whitehurst age 67 b NC and Wife Jane age 57 This could possibly be the parents of these children and JAJ Whitehurst right ages for them to be the parents. This is all we have so far on the whitehurst's In my Gggrandfathers journal he wrote that Mary Ann was from Henry co Al I by the way live in Wichita Falls, Tx I have 2 sisters that live around Killeen and one sister who lives in Dallas. My phone is 940-767-6617 and the best time to call me is on Sunday afternoons. I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids and do alot of stuff at the schools for my kids. If you will send me your email address i will send you my gedcom on the little i have on my family to include the info on my Crocketts. I have traced me back 7 generations on the Crockett side. And a few on other branches of my extended family. Way back to my ggggrandfathers son Andrew Jackson Crockett married a lady who's mother was a Lambert. And Andrews other brother James married a Barbara kelly. Andrew and James were brothers to my gggramdfather Leonard Lewis Crockett. their father was Andrew David Crockett Anyway the Lamberts names are Octavine Candacie Lambert b 1885 married George Washington Dykes Octavines father was Little Berry Lambert who married Julie Lane Cooper and Little Berry parents were Nathaniel Lambert who married a Nancy Sturdivant. I just found Little Berry and Julie's grave in Jasper Co tx in a cemetary called Bessmay. The town was Buna. That is were my Crockett came form after leaving Ms in 1840 I have the obit for all of my Crockett grandparents all the way to Leonard Lewis Crockett and where they are buried. they came form Buna, Jasper Co Tx originally in 1840/41 then after 1880 moved to Thornton then to Watt then to Waco. My mother was born in Watt in 1923. All of her other siblings were born in waco. My ggggrandmother Clarissa Ann Richardson Richardson Crockett Foster was married 3 times and had 13 chilldren and is buried in Atwell Cemetary in callahan County. That was my greatest find as i have a picture of her and know I know where my children get there big ears from. I have found nothing on 4 of her 13 children. James who married Barbara Kelly after they moved from Jaspr co in 1880 David crockett who married a Elzina Ann rutherford. I did find his grave but no descendants of him as of yet burid in Llano Co Martha Crockett (we believe she died before 1870 as she was on the 1860 census a s being 4 in 1860 but gone on the 1870 census. Sarah Crockett possilby married a Aaron Dryden gone off face of earth after 1880. I have been researching for almost 2 years. I have meet alot of relatives over the internet just posting queries everywhere i could. Did ;you notice that your Johns grandmother could possible be named Jane? Well gotta go it is 2am and i have to get up early. if you might want to call me i wont be home until after 9 pm on Sat night and 730 on Friday night. I have to find my address book and i will send you Apala phone number. Her husband is Charles Wilson. Apala's email is [email protected] If we are related then hope to see you at the reunion next summer.
