Carolyn, Thank you for the information. I have not seen the book, but I have seen copies of the information Eddie Mae King wrote on the Morton family. I discovered a website yesterday listing the gravestones in the King Family Cemetery. http://www.geocities.com/bethel_75961/KING.html I'm a little confused because it appears there are two gravestones, one for Anna King, and one for Matha Jeffanna King. This is what is say: KING, ANNA BORN: IN 1861 DIED: IN 1950 SPOUSE: ANDERSON KING CEMETERY:KING KING, MARTHA JEFFANNA JACOBS BORN: JUL 17, 1861 DIED: Dec 15, 1950 SPOUSE: KING, ANDERSON AUGUST MILITARY: NOTES: DAUGHTER OF CLAIBORNE & SARAH E. FEWELL KING CEMETERY:KING This may just be an error, or perhaps "Anna Jacobs" is on Anderson King's gravestone rather than a seperate grave. Anyway, it created some confusion for me! You mentioned NACOGDOCHES COUNTY FAMILIES -- do you know if/how I could get a copy of that book? I'm also very interested in researching Martha Jeffanna Jacobs family. I believe her father was James Jacobs, and her mother was Mary Chisum, perhaps the daughter of Elijah Chisum and Delilah George. Thank you again for the information, you've been very helpful.
