Barbara I must have picked him up in one of the census. I have him in the 1870, 1880, 1900 census & some info from this family came from the obit book Herberta Mask did on the Kosse families. D B b: 1868 is Dalay B I think. all I have on the child M Frank is MF b: abt 1873 male but I do have a son Frank no dates just a name. Don't have the son Thomas H b: 1880 at all. Sure would like to have a copy of that bible. How long ago was it when you saw it. I have not been in any of the antique stores in Groesbeck in ages. I have not really worked on this family much.

At one time there was a family Bible for sale in the antique store in Groesbeck that seemed to be from this family. Lots of Williams names in it and a couple of Fergusons. Also a paper pinned inside with B.F. Hammond's family. There was even mention of family dogs in the Bible: "Rover died Dec. 8, 1916" and "Bigon died June 20, 1920, a car run over him". > >Barbara
