Posted on: Llano County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Llano/340 Surname: Shipman, Hollowwa, Anderson, Bullard, Meek ------------------------- Jacquilyn, I saw your posting concerning the Shipman name. My great-grandfather was Armstead Morgan Hollowwa. He had a half-sister named Miscellena Anciebell Anderson whom I believe married a Shipman. Their mother was Rhoda Meek, who married an Englishman named Anderson abt 1852 in Bell Co or Milam Co. I believe this whole area including LLano Co. was part of Milam Co. at one time. Milam Co. was humongous. Miscellena Anderson grew up in Denton Co. where her mother was married to my g-g grandfather, Elisha Dotson Hollowwa, and then in Hill and Johnson Co. where Rhoda was married to Asa Lorenzo Bullard. Of Course, Miscellena had half-siblings by the name of Bullard, also. And her mother raised her own youngest two siblings, Noah and Lydia Meek, after their father was murdered and scalped on the Cowhouse Creek in Bell Co. in 1852. (The two toddlers were 3 and 1 year old. Their mother had died at the birth of Noah.) I would love to find descendants of the Shipmans.
