Hi Everyone-- Since several people have joined this list over recent months, I want to mention again 2 books which I have written about the Wainscott (Winscot), Elrod, Roberts, Baker, Stringfellow and other families who lived in the 1700s and 1800s in the Yadkin River area of NC and moved into Kentucky, settling in Madison, Gallatin and Owen Counties. Several moved on into Indiana, Missouri, Texas and Illinois. "The Wainscott Family" is the main book. It starts with Richard Wainscott, the original immigrant from England to America. He was born in 1711 and arrived in Maryland in 1728. He soon moved to Virginia, then to North Carolina. I think he is the ancestor of everyone named Winscot or Wainscott whose family originated in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky or Missouri. "The Wainscott Family" includes every descendant of Richard that I have been able to identify. Many other Wainscott researchers sent me hundreds and hundreds of names, dates, places and biographical information on their branches of this large family. All info I have received on any Wainscott or Winscot is in the book. The book has about 275 pages and costs $23. "Wainscott Cousins" is a companion book. It includes information on 6 of the families which most often intermarried with Wainscotts. Those families were Baker, Elrod, Roberts, Stringfellow, Razor, & McMains. "Wainscott Cousins" has about 210 pages and costs $17. Each book is fully indexed (every-name index), is printed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper, and is softbound (with binding comb so that the book lies flat when open). Shipping is $4.00 for one book or $5.50 for both books. If you are interested in purchasing one or both books, please write to me and I will give you the mailing address for your order.

Hi, I am researching David Calvin Cowan and his family. David and his brother Gideon Perry Cowan were among the surveyors for the Fisher-Miller Grant, working for John Meusebach in 1846. During this time, friendly Indians told them about a salt spring along the west bank of the Colorado River (now submerged beneath Maxwell's Slough in Lake Buchanan) near Tow. The Cowans briefly settled in Georgetown - then returned in 1852 to turn the salt spring into a commercial salt mining operation. I am looking for any specifics on the salt mine, especially any photographs that might exist, plus information on when and why it ceased operation. Also interested in any stories regarding the Cowans and Capt. John Williams' Texas Ranger Unit in 1858, or from the Civil War era. I grew up in Burnet, but have lived in California for the past 20 years. Would love to hear from other researchers.

Hello Listers, MY name is Nina Olney and I looking for information on Joseph Graves Olney- alias Joe Hill. I understand he lived in Llano during the Mason County Wars, but don't know if he took part in them. He had a quarrel with a a man in Burnet County over some livestock in about 1874 and killed him. Does anyone have any records, or know where I can find the court records which might explain what the fight was about? Joseph was not arrested at the time. On September 8, 1876, during the Mason County Wars, a Sheriff's Deputy, S.B. Martin (on the orders of J.J. Strickland), went to Joseph's homestead to arrest him. We are not certain for what, since the above fight was two years prior. After trying to kill Joe on foot, both the mounted deputy and another man were hit. Martin died later of his wounds which caused Joseph to leave Texas and move to Mexico. My understanding is that J.J. Strickland was not always law abiding himself and Joseph knew he wouldn't get a fair trial. I would like to verify this information. I would also like to know if a WANTED poster was issued for him, and if so, where I might find it. Please let me know where I might find documents on Joseph Graves Olney, Jr. I am also seeking any living Olneys in the Llano area. If there are any still there, would you please send an address where I might write? Thank you so much in advance. Sincerely, Nina Olney Nina L. Olney In Flagstaff, Arizona Looking for the Olneys/D'Oyley/Onley etc To Understand the Present, you need to know the Past

HI! Does anybody know what years of vital record are kept in Llano County? How much does it cost? THANK YOU! - CJ. :)

I just wanted to send a Thank You to all the people who sent me information on how to obtain Military Records. It is so good to have such helpful people on these mailing lists. Thank You Karl Forehand Jr.

I am sending this to different lists that I am on in hopes that someone may be able to give me some help. At one time I had the listing for a site where you could get a form to send in for Military Records that are in St. Louis. In some of my changes I have lost the address. If someone might know it I would greatly appreciate someone forwarding it to me. Thank You Karl Forehand Jr.

The "Mrs E.E. Golston" you are seeking--is this her maiden name or a name from a previous marriage? I have many Gholsons in my family tree, and many of them changed the spelling to Golston or Goldston in the 1800s and early 1900s. There is a new version of a book being compiled now by Ron Gholson in Mulberry, Indiana about this family. Maybe we can help if we know more about her. I was unable to find anyone on my branches with the initials EE but it is a very large family. Good luck.

Searching for any information concerning Mrs E.E.Golston. She married Dillard Cooper 15 Oct. 1878 in Colorado Co. Columbus,Texas. She died in 1883 in Llano Co. Llano,Texas.

With a new administrator for the Llano Co site, I am posting again the branches which I am searching from Llano and Mason Co families in hopes it will trigger information some of you have stored away. Maybe the new millenium opens up new horizons for us all. First, I am searching for information on the parentage of Captain Christopher Guess "Kit" Wood, b 1/22/1819 in Indiana, m Mary Jane Gholson, and who was in Ft Mason, TX by shortly after third child was born in 1851. Died in Mason Co 12/24/1889 and his wife died there 6/8/1884, both buried at Gooch Cemetery in Mason. His parents were supposedly Thomas S Wood, b England, son of Samuel Wood, and Sarah Pearson, b S Carolina, daughter of Joseph Pearson, but nothing else is known except that Thomas and Sarah were married 11/20/1816 in Orange Co, Indiana. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kit Wood lived with his parents in Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Kentucky, and his future wife lived across the river in Kentucky. Married in Kentucky, ?? and then came to Texas. (Note: this does not agree with data available about Dr Jacob J Gholson, his father in law, who first came to Texas in 1830-but apparently family didn't come to Texas until later years) Came to Texas about 1839 at the age of 19. Oct 11, 1847, received a grant of 320 acres in Cherokee Co, TX.. Listed in 1845 tax records in Nacogdoches, TX, a territory that included several counties, Cherokee being one of these. His oldest child Jacob, on papers concerning his Confederate Army Service pension, dated Nov 29, 1912, states that he was 67 years old and born in Cherokee, TX. Moved next to Navarro Co, TX, where second child was born in 1849. By 1851 family was on the way to Fort Mason, Texas; living awhile in McLennan Co, TX, where third child was born. Fourth child born in Fort Mason, TX. Reported to have carried with him in later years his bible when travelling in a wagon. In this Bible, it is said that he also had a list of his ancestry. What became of the old Bible is unknown, and there are no known pictures of he and his wife. Elected Justice of the Peace, Precinct 5, Mason, TX Oct 2, 1875 Also searching for the parentage of William A McGinty and Lucretia Arnold. He was born 7/2/1809, d 3/17/1894 and she was born 8/4/1812 and d 2/14/1883. They moved to Goliad in 1850,eventually to Mason Co and many of their children lived in Mason Co area for much of the remainder of the century. Had 10 children as per family bible records: 1.
