Oops!!! Thanks Joy. I wasn't paying attention. I should have seen that the migrations link wasn't right, just by looking. It should be: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano/migrations.htm Now, try it....

Hi list, I've been working on the Llano page and have some new links that I think you will find helpful. The latest two are. the UTAustin Map collection site which has Wonderful historical maps. The other is the Migrations Project link, which I think all of you should try and submit your family migrations to. It can be such a great help to know where our ancestors came from and which path they took to get here. This site will let you search for your ancestors by surname and also to look at the county and state that they were in, to hopefully, find others in the family. If you have any problems, let me know. I'm still working on it and may not have all the bells and whistles in place. Have Fun! Sue, CC Llano Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano/ If you want to go directly to the new links, they are: file:///C|/GenWeb/GenWeb/Llano/migrations.htm http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/histus.html

Posted on: Llano County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Llano?read=245 Surname: Fleming, Dean, Norris ------------------------- I would like to make contact with descendants of Will and Cora (Dean) Fleming. I am a descendant of Bailey & Matilda (Norris) Dean, which I believe to be the parents of Abner Dean, Cora's father. The following was located in the Llano county, TX, family album, a History. Page 116 Refers to: WILL and CORA FLEMING. She was the former CORA DEAN. Her parents were MR. and MRS. ABNER DEAN who lived near Wilbern's Glen. Three children were born to WILL and CORA, CLYDE, LLOYD and LOLAN (L.D.). CLYDE married LIZZIE EPPERSON from Valley Spring and they had four sons, LINDEN, W.C. ORLAN (deceased) and EDGARDENE. LLOYD married EMMA BEASLEY from Valley Springs and they had five children, GLEN, LADELL, GERALDINE, GORDON, and ROMONA. LOLAN (L.D.) married ELSIE CASTELLAW from Llano. They had three children; MOZELLA, MAXINE and BILLY GENE. MOZELLA married M.J. STEWARD, MAXINE married Paul ROBINSON. BILLY GENE married LAVERENE MURCHISON. LOLAN and ELSIE lived at Babyhead until retiring and moving to Llano in laters years. Their home was the gathering place for all the relatives on holidays. Many fond memories are still with me when I recall how they used to play their stringed instruments. Everyone enjoyed these get togethers, especially at Christmas.

Please let us know where you got your information. Thanks, Cheryl

Reading the story that Clay Lake posted, reminded me of the time when I was little, which was in 1926. My grandfather James T. Maxwell owned land in Tow, Llano County Texas. Grandfather had died way before my time in 1912, and after that some of his children always lived on the place to take care of my grandmother Minnie "Aunt Mint" Maxwell. When the Uncles would plow the fields, Indian arrow heads would come up with the loose soil. You could pick them up until you became tired. We knew that there had to have been a battle or a camp to find so many. Grandfather had a spring fed creek behind his house, where the water was cool and fresh all year round. Along the creek were huge pecan trees lining its banks. The family would thrash pecans, and pick them up to sell or to use in pecan pies. The Indian story finally came to me in" Canyon Of the Eagles" written by C. L. Yarbrough. I was fortunate to find it in 1992 and bought three thinking I would give them to my children. It explains the Indian story very well . It starts on page 25, to page 27. I hear that the magazine is being published again, and you might be able to find copies at the Vanishing Texas River Cruise Park I think that is the name of it. It is located on the Burnet side of the lake. I would not dare to send you a print since I don't have permission to do so. But it came out in a Burnet paper years ago, and I do have a copy, but I cannot find it. It is probably buried under all of my genealogy books for I am into Family History. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them if I can. Lillie F. Kelly granddaughter of James T., and Minta Minnie Oden Maxwell Naples, FL faye74@exit18.com

Posted on: Llano County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Llano?read=242 Surname: Arnold, Olney, Hammonds, Skinner, Yarborough, Shults, Schultz, Casner, Brown, Davis, Whitlock, Scott, Maxwell ------------------------- An October 11, 1931 Sunday Magazine Section of Houston Post Dispatch published an article entitled "Hamilton Dam to Bury" by Bess Whitehead Scott was made available by the Clayton Library in Houston, Texas. The article and photos were taken during the 1931 Arnold Reunion. The article below tell of a Battle at Packsaddle Mountain in 1859. Does anyone know of an 1859 Packsaddle Mountain Battle between 18 Indians and 8 white settlers, where an Indian Chief was killed? I am aware of the August 4, 1873 Packsaddle Mountain and searching to see if there is any documentation on the Arnold oral family history of William K. Arnold being in the 1859 Battle. The family members have seen the Sophie Shults and William K. Arnold's Family Bible, but have not seen or know the where abouts of the Chiefs leather jacket mentioned in the article. The magazine article read as follow; In the days when the hardy Texas pioneer finished his day's work with the setting sun and dared to make a light at night; when days light invariably revealed the print of moccasin feet around his home; when the head of the family felled trees to build his house with his rifle always within reach, Bill Arnold and his wife with one small child migrated from Tennessee and settled in the frontier country of Llano county. Solid oak logs were cut and hewn by Arnold with which to build the walls of his home. Solid oak also served for his ceiling and floors. The rafters were cut from native cedar. All were hewn with crude implements, but with immeasurable pride by the hardy frontiersman. Chimney by Hand Lime rock was burned in the kiln and used for mixing mortar in the erection of the house. The chimney, a masterpiece of masonry, was made from stones chiseled by hand to fit with minute precision. A smoke house was built, staunch and strong, to hold the winter supplies of meat and groceries, and a corral was sturdily built where the horses were kept saddled under lock and key, day and night, in readiness against Indian raids. Today the fine old house of oak and its marvelously built of rock stands in fairly good repair after 80 years of constant use, and the smokehouse and corral are in good state of preservation. But the state of Texas has rung the death knell of the old home, and with a few months the buildings and homesite will be under 37 feet of water. For the unique old Arnold home is directly in the acreage to be flooded. The primary purpose of the reunion was to witness the removal of the graves of their loved ones, who rested many years in the family grave yard. Attend the reunion were many grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the sisters, numbering 141 in all. Among these were Mr. And Mrs. Lloyd W. Davis of Galena Park and their three children. These seven sisters, two of whom have celebrated their golden wedding anniversaries, are Mrs. J. T. Olney (Lizzie), who is 80 years old; Mrs. O. W. Hammonds (Belle); Mrs. W. S. Skinner (Judith), Mrs. Vickie Yarborough (Vickie), and Mrs. J. D. Schultz (Becky), all of whom are in their 70's and Mrs. E. W. Casner (Alice) and Mrs. J. W. Brown (Nina) who are in their 60's. The son of Sam Houston Arnold, now living in Cordell, Oklahoma, to preserve the family name. Another daughter Mrs. H. D. Davis, (Ida Lee) died at the age of 44, leaving five children. The seven sisters were born, reared, wooed, won, and married under the roof of the old oak home. The wedding ceremony of each one of the sisters was performed by Uncle Ike Maxwell, a pioneer who helped Bill Arnold build his home in the wilderness, and who still lives in the neighborhood. Full of Memories These are the sisters who last August entered for the first time since childhood, the neighborhood school house where they learned reading, writing, and "rithmetic." Where their brother many years ago became a Mason; where one of the sisters was converted during an old camp meeting. The sisters remembered playing under the great pecan trees as children. Strenuous days of Indian raids were recalled. One of William Arnold's daughter told how her father was made leader of the neighborhood after the raid of 1859 in which the Whitlock family, friends and neighbors of the Arnolds, were massacred and burned by the redskins. Another remembered that one child was spared and taken captive and was reported only a short time ago to be with an Indian band in Arizona, unable and unwilling to leave the only people she ever knew. Another sister recounted the strenuous days of the final battle with the Indians by the little Llano County band fought on Pack-saddle mountain by eight white men and 18 Indians. Today hundreds of arrows lie along the mountain sides, mute evidence of the victory Bill Arnold and his neighbors won, making the community safe for their loved ones and generations to come. For the Indian chief was killed and his men fled never to return. The chief's leather jacket remains in the possession of the Arnold family, a treasured evidence of the pioneer's marksmanship. Other treasures of the heirlooms are the family Bible, rare pieces of china and silver, and a valuable cupboard.
