HI list, I'm trying to find any kind of word on my cousin, Samuel Hobert Jackson. He was last living in Conroe, Montgomery CO,Tx 10 years ago. He hasn't called home or been seen since then. If anyone knows of his where abouts, please let me know. He was b. in 1953 or 1954. His mother was Helen wilson. She died in 1997 and he doesnt even know it. He should be in his early 50's. He was working for Brown Const. in Houston,Tx. but no one knows where he is-incl. the company. thank you, cheryl

Jane, Although I have not found a relationship between my MORRIS family and the BODDEKER family, wanted to mention, in the will of my g-g-grandfather, Alfred William Morris (1846-1925), the two witnesses were J. L. Boddeker and L. L. Boddeker. The document also names J. Lewis Boddeker, which I assume is J. L. Boddeker. A. W. Morris was raised on the Morris farm in Montgomery Co., TX, however, at the time of the writing of the will - 1917 and 1919 - he was living in Galveston, TX. Sallie Cannon

Hello, The 1880 Census for Montgomery Co. shows the following three Robinson families: Household: Lee Robinson 25 yrs old b. Arkansas Naomi Robinson 21 yrs old b. Texas Rosa Lee Robinson 8 month b. Texas Household John W. Robinson 61 yrs b. Alabama Louisa A. Robinson 40 yrs b. Alabama Sallie Lopes 9 yrs b. Texas James M. Robinson 22 yrs b. Arkansas Household John W. Robinson Jr. 34 yrs b. Arkansas Elizabeth Robinson 27 yrs b. Texas James Robinson 10 yrs b. Texas Anna Robinson 8 yrs b. Texas I descend from (Hosea) Lee Robinson, but suspect that the other two families are related. Can anyone provide additional information? Am happy to share all information that I have. John Robinson

Dear Jane, I do transcriptions of cemeteries (headstones only, no cemetery records) in several counties in south and south east Texas. I recently did the Old Methodist Churchyard in Montgomery County. I'm submitting the URL below, if you would like to use it for your page. I have submitted it (and many others to the Genweb Tombstone Project as well. My homepage is http://theharrington.homepage.com if you would like to check it out. I transcribe these cemeteries with a digital camera, and index the images of the headstones for posterity. Please email me if you have any questions. Letty Harrington http://theharrington.homepage.com/Other%20Cemeteries/oldmethodist.html ___

Anyone have access to 1870 & 1880 Montgomery Co., Census records, that they are willing to share? I need info on my g-g-g-grand parents, MATILDA PALMER/PARMER, and her husband, A.W. ALFRED WILLIAM MORRIS. Would also like to know the surnames of others living near them, if possible, to learn if relatives lived near. My A. W. MORRIS, appears in the 1860 Montgomery Co., Census, as: #28/28 A.W. MORRIS---38-AL M. """-----31 f--AK A. W. """ 14 m-Tx M. E. """12-f-TX M. M. ""7-f-TX M. B. "" m TX G. C. ""3-m TX A. J. DAVIS--25,-m GA L. W. SURGHNOR(?) 27,- m VA CROMBWELL-24, m -England C.JONES-33, m NH(?) GARDEN 22,-m SC GIDDENS--25,-m DC A. SHIRLLY 28,-m TN This info provided by Jane Keppler. If anyone has any suggestions or knowledge of the other adults shown in the home, I would appreciate learning about them. All are male, but some might be teachers, rather than farm workers. It is said that the A. W. MORRIS farm was part of present day Lake Conroe. He died in 1866, after Civil War injuries. Having a really tough problem tracing my A. W. MORRIS, prior to his entering TX, and would surely like to see if additional census records, would agree with his birth place as being in AL, and would also like to learn the full names of the children. Thanks so much, Sallie Cannon

Conroe Loses Former Columnist and Retired Genealogy Librarian The genealogy community has lost a valiant ally, when Imogene Kinard Kennedy passed away on May 19, 2000. She began her personal genealogy in 1959, and when she retired in April 1992, she had served Montgomery County Library for nineteen years. Imogene Kinard Kennedy was born September 22, 1928 in Anadarko, Oklahoma, to Ira Neal Kennedy and Thella Mae Smallwood. She attended Cameron College in Lawton, Oklahoma, where she met her husband Leon Kennedy. In 1960 they moved to the Houston area, where Jean worked at Clayton Genealogical Library, starting in 1968. Jean was hired at the Montgomery County Library in 1973. In 1976 she was appointed head of the Genealogy Department, which was to be formed from materials pulled from the existing library collection. This had been a dream of hers for many years. She was able at the same time to bring about the establishment of the Montgomery County Genealogical & Historical Society. This organization has since become the official friends group for the Montgomery County Genealogy Department. Since its inception the society has donated in excess of $150,000, in money and materials, as well as countless hours of volunteer service. In 1988, Jean was the first recipient of the Montgomery County Genealogical Society's "HALL OF FAME AWARD" in recognition of her many accomplishments, one of these being the publishing of three books. Her book titled Genealogical Records In Texas is considered the definitive book on researching Texas county records and is still in publication today. She coordinated the Houston Genealogical Institutes in 1978 throughout 1980, taught beginners to advanced genealogy classes, was a sought-after genealogical speaker, and authored the genealogy column "Shaking The Family Tree" for the Conroe Courier in the 1970's. Imogene is survived by four daughters, two brothers, eight grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, and numerous other friends and relatives. It was her desire that any memorials be given to the Genealogy Department through the Montgomery County Genealogical & Historical Society. Anyone wanting to donate can send their check to MCGHS P. O. Box 867 Conroe, TX 77305-0867
