Hello, I am pretty new to this mailing list. I hope that someone can help me find out something about John Cross. I think he is related to my husbands grandma Emma Cross, he may have been her Dad or maybe her brother. This is what I found out online about him. John David Cross b. Nov. 7, 1870 d. May 1927, buried in the Oklahoma Cemetery, Magnolia, Texas. I would like to know if he was married & had a family. Thank you to anyone who can help me. Dena

I'm hoping that someone can help me. I'm trying to find my grand aunt who was last known to be living in Patton Village, Montgomery County, Texas in 1982. She is listed in my g-grandmother's obit. If my research is correct, today she would only be abt 63 years old. I didn't know anything about her until I began my genealogical research. I believe she may still be living and I would love to contact her. If you know her, please contact me. I would more than greatly appreciate it.

Today 4 of us ladies, Darlene Lee, Karen Lawless, a new lady Betty Pilrow and I went to 2 cemeteries that are not in the cemetery book. We got them transcribed and I will put them on the website soon. We had such a good time. The first one in off Calvary Road in Willis and it was wonderful. No one could tell this was a cemetery from the road because it was well overgrown. Most of the tombstones were flat on the ground and we just stumbled on them. I think the earliest buried there was 1881 and there were probably about 50 markers. Looked to be a mixture of black and white. I called Collins & Johnson (their marker was one) and they did not know the name but gave a place to go for a caretaker..(ha)... Anyway now a great cleanup project now ...will check on that. The other one was a couple of miles from this one and it was a black cemetery between some nice houses(very strange location, like in the middle of their yards). Very well taken care of. C&J said it was Ebenzer Cemetery. If you know of any other cemeteries that are not listed on the cemetery page, please let me know. "Remember, you are the history of Montgomery County".
