I just wrote Gracie the below email about the Evan Douthit living beside David Faulkenberry in IL. Well after I sent this email I was just wondering around the RootsWeb TX counties & stopped & started reading Anderson Co TX cemeteries. In the Douthit Cem in Anderson Co TX I found Evan Douthit b: 15 Dec 1769 d: 1849 & who I think may be his wife a Sarah b:1774 On the stone of Evan Douthit it lists John Douthit Jr as his father. Feel sure this is the same Evan Douthit I found in the 1830 IL census . What a strange find after just taking about this man. Also Christopher C Chaffin & wife are buried there he is son of Eli Chaffin families also from IL. Pat Oates in TX >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gracie If this is all correct Sarah Elmaline Bates was born 2 Jan 1851 in Limestone Co TX d: 22 Mar 1884 is buried @ Ft Parker Cem in Limestone Co. she is the dau Silas Huron Bates b 26 May 1814 OH d:17 Aug 1888 buried also at Ft Parker Cem. mother is Eleanor Adaline "Ellen" Faulkenberry dau of David Faulkenberry who is in the 1830 Shelby Co IL census listed as David Faulkinberg/Faulkinbery. This whole group are another bunch of families connected to the IL group of families who came to TX at or about the same time as the Parkers. I do not know if they all came on the Parker wagon train or if there was more than one group. Evan Douthit was his neighbor & David named a son Evan Faulkenberry. Evan Faulkenberry was killed by Indians 28 Jan 1838 in TX.
