Hi List Friends Where have all of our researcher been for the last few months? I miss all of you & the mail. We can not let 11 Sept 2001 ruin our genealogy. I have not done much myself so I know it is hard to get back to thinking about it. Many of us have been on this list since it started & have worked our lines to death but someone must have something they are searching for. I have not been over to Limestone Co. to do research at the courthouse in several months so I do not have much new going on. Sure would like to hear from this list even if we are posting our lines again. You just never know when someone new will join with the one hint we need. I went over to talk to a man in Limestone Co. the other day about my Husband's Phifer/Ferrill lines & he came up with a picture that belongs to my 1st cousin's family on her other side. It is a picture of her Grandfather's Uncle. So you just never know what will show up where. She has a Bower line that is intermarried with one of the Wilson lines I was working on in the spring & this picture is of that Bower/Wilson family. Pat Oates in TX.

Morgan Miller and family on the 1850 Nacogdoches co TX census.. Morgan and two of his sons John and Benjamin supposedly hung in East TX as horse thieves between 1850-1860... no proof this is true .

I found out limestone co. is the co. my grand parents were in in 1870. we didn't know for sure that my grand mothers madian name was Paterson, but James Paterson was living with them at that time. I had looked and looked for them in 1870 but could not find them, the index of one book is very different than the one I found them in. 1850 Walker Co.Ga. 1860 Grayson, Erath co.
