Does anyone know about a John (J. E.) Mora that married Jennie Quinn in San Augustine just before the turn of the centuty (1900). Their child Annie Bell (married Bryant) was my grandmother. He was killed in a timber accident when she was a baby so we have been unable to find out anything about him. I heard that he was quite a bit older than her and was a sherrif or something to do with the law in San Augustine or maybe Nacogdoches. I would love to find out something about him and who his people are. I have heard that he was burried in Nacogdoches County. Betty

*Check the Procella Cemetery in Nacogdoches County or Angelina County. Lots os people form this time are buried there. It may be some help. I did have a site, but no longer have it. If I can access it, I will send it to you. Lois Burden * DBRedfearn@aol.com wrote: >Does anyone know about a John (J. E.)

Based upon a bit of census searching for San Augustine Co., TX, I have found: 1900 Prec. 3 Joe Mora 34 (born about 1866 in TX) and Jennie Mora 18 (born about 1882 in TX). Married 2 years with no children; living close (listed above them on census page) to three Quinn sisters: Olive, 25, Mary, 20, and Dee 16. 1910 Prec. 3 Belton Thompson 29 (head of family and first marriage) and Jennie Thompson (29, second marriage) married five years, with children Edna 4 and Lula 10/12 Thompson and step daughter (to Belton) Annie B. Mora, 7 (born about 1903). 1920 No "Mora" in San Augustine Co. census. I hope the above helps, Chuck. ----- Original Message ----- From: <DBRedfearn@aol.com> To: <TXNACOGD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 1:18 AM Subject: Re: [TXNAC] Cloudy/Mora > Does anyone know about a John (J.
