I am interested in finding out any information on Will and America Dorsett Dixon. He was the grandson of my great grandmother and he lived with her until her death. Her name was Theressa Jane Thomas Singleton and she appeared on the 1880 Nacogdoces Co. Tx. census and Will was four years old. I am interested in knowing who his parents were and what had happened to them. After Theressa's death, Will lived with his aunt, Sara/Sallie Singleton Martin Jones White. All I know is that he had two children, Bernice and Flora. I find a Bernice Dixon in the Old Union Cemetery (died 7 Nov. 1916) and on the 1920 census ther is a granddaughter living with Will and America named Ruby C. Martin. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Would love to find another cousin and cousin-in-law!>> Hi, Stacy: Well, I think you've found one! I'm definitely a cousin-in-law. Did your Monroe PLEASANT descend from Mary MURRAY and Benjamin Bell PLEASANT? My husband is connected to their son, Buford or Beauford PLEASANT, father of James Elisha, father of Lois Lucille PLEASANT who married our Thomas Luther MARTIN. Thomas was a brother to his Beulah Beatrice MARTIN, the baby of 13 children. She was my husband's grandmother. My husband is James Alton LeCROY. His sister, Mary Ann EVANS ([email protected]) and I collaborate on their family research. I actually got her "into" genealogy. Now she's hooked! We have great fun going to Nacogdoches and doing research. We've met a LOT of cousins there. Now, I'm not sure that these MARTINs are the same as Adeline MARTIN who married your Monroe PLEASANT. There were more than one family of MARTINs. Ours lived in Attoyac. Our John Carr MARTIN was a brother to Amos Adelbert who lived to be 103 (I think). I think there were some others in Martinsville, from whom the town was named. There might have even been a 3rd family of MARTINs. It DOES get confusing on these MARTINs. But, it is pretty safe to say that the PLEASANTs are connected. My husband's line is kin to Carolyn ANTHONY, who still lives in Attoyac. She is a PLEASANT. She is the Church secretary at the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. She is the widow of William P. "Boe" ANTHONY. We are also kin to Bernadine FULLER (through the FULLERs). She is a LAYTON. We do not have very much on the LAYTONs, and Bernadine couldn't give me too much info on the FULLER line. Another cousin in Chireno is Laurine (GRAY) NICHOLS, whose mother was Lena Belle, one of our MARTINs and she was married to Lawrence S. GRAY. I think that he went by "Lawrie". Laurine is married to Joe NICHOLS. Most of my MARTIN, BLANKINSHIP and FULLER info is in my file. However, I have not gotten around to putting my PLEASANT info in my database. I do have it on hard copy though and could mail it. The other I could send via GEDCOM if you have some sort of genealogy program. Or I could send it in a report format -- either way -- or both. If I mail the other, I'll need your snail mail address. I'm usually one of the "lurkers" as I tend to just see if someone pops up who is researching my names. Every now and then, I'll chime in with something. I have had a lot of good luck after I made up my custom "signature" line which automatically puts in my surnames in every email. It has really helped me find people, because it is a constant reminder, even if I write about other surnames. Thanks for getting in touch, and let me know how you want to exchange info. I will take anything and everything. I will send you my snail mail address privately if you need it for mailing anything. Stay in touch, "cuz."

Here's some more info on these people: 1 - Benjamin Franklin LOONEY m. Josephine Pauline FRITH,abt 1850 (Josephine dau of Jos. H. FRITH & Nancy McDADE, sister to Letita below) 2 - Benjamin Franklin LOONEY m. Robena PENDER 3 - Laurence Pender LOONEY 3 - May Fair LOONEY 1 - C.M LOONEY m.

Newton CLOUD & Laura MERCHANT of Milam cty) 2 - Charles R. LOONEY 1 - John Pleasant LOONEY m. Louvenia CRYER maybe 1920 Milam cty ? 1 - Robert J. LOONEY m. Letita R. FRITH (1834 MO-1873 LA) (Letita dau of Jos. H. FRITH & Nancy McDADE) ..... based on what little I know of them, it looks like the "possibles" would be C.M., Charles R. and Jno Pleasant LOONEY. I have no other information on them. Tom Cloud <[email protected]>

Hi Lana and list, I've been a lurker, but I read your surname list with interest. I, too, have PLEASANT and MARTIN ties in the Nacogodoches and Shelby Counties area. My gg-grandparents were Monroe PLEASANT and Adeline MARTIN. Are these names in your husband's line? I have quite a bit of information on the PLEASANT line and some on the MARTINs. Would love to find another cousin and cousin-in-law!

A friend of mind hear in Huntsville, Alabama told me that some of the Looney's change their name to Luna. He did not give a reason for the name change or what. Bob Morrison

My husbands ancestor was Ana Maria Jacoba Equiz from Los Adaes. She married Antonio Arriola in Nacogdoches about 1785.

Tom, are these names from Nacogdoches? Bettye Looney Bowerman

if this is not right would you please send me the right address Thanks Ronda

Is there anyone on this list doing research on the Looney family? Bettye Looney Bowerman

Hi list: Thought I send my 2 cents worth about migrations to Nacogdoches. My ancestor was Adolphus Sterne who came there from New Orleans. His home is now a museum. He was my g-g-g-grandfather & I descend from his son Charles Adolphus Sterne. Does anyone else connect to this family? I'd love to hear from you. Judy
