Rhome is in Wise County, Texas (northwest of Fort Worth). Roane is in Navarro County. According to a database of place names that I consulted, there are fifteen cemeteries in Texas named Cottonwood or with Cottonwood as part of the name (such as "Old Cottonwood Cemetery"). One of them's in Wise County; none is in Navarro County. Sounds as if you need to look around Wise County. Roger Bartlett Austin, Texas Robin Mullaney asked: >Does anyone know if there is a Cottonwood or Cottenwood cemetery in or >around Navarro?

Are any of you still there? I would love to find a relative to share information with. Kay (Newcomb) Harper ................ Searching: Newcomb--Fore--Farquar--Haney--Sanders--Wren--and Harper [email protected] Genealogy Page---http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/6514 ----

John Robert "JR" SEYBOLD (1832 ILL - ca 1890 I.T.) and his wife, Amanda J. WELCH SEYBOLD came to Chatfield, TX in early 1883. My grandmother, Elizabeth "Lizzie" SEYBOLD CLOUD was born there in October, 1883 (I think she was born in Corsicana). In January, 1889, J.R. sold some land to a Mr. Christian MOSCHEL, recorded in the Navarro county courthouse. The family was living in Rice, TX at that time. J.R. SEYBOLD had been a merchant in Illinois but bought a farm when he arrived in Chatfield. When he left Navarro Cty, in early 1890, he apparently owned a store, which Christian MOSCHEL apparently bought from him. J.R. took his family to Ardmore, I.T., opened a store there and apparently died there that year. His wife died a few years later and the children were orphaned. Hence, we have little of the family history. Does anyone know anything of J.R. SEYBOLD's or Christian MOSCHEL's store in the 1890 time frame ? Also, can anyone make a suggestion where to look, other than the courthouse, for records of my grandmother's birth ? Elizabeth "Lizzie" Delilah SEYBOLD was born in Corsicana, TX in October of 1883 but there is no record of it at the courthouse that I can find. thanks, Tom Cloud <[email protected]>

Does anyone know if there is a Cottonwood or Cottenwood cemetery in or around Navarro? I am looking for someone to find Ballards buried in Navarro and also in Rhome Texas but I don't find Rhome listed anywhere and dont find Cottonwood cemetery anywhere so I don't know if Im on the right track. Someone said there are lots of Ballards in the area and I very much want to find a connection to my grandmother's family. I am in Connecticut now and can't research the area well and small towns are hard to locate even from the web. Well that's my sob story but if anyone can help - this has been a 20 year search for grandfathers and great-grandmothers that died young before I was born and no one can tell me where they all were buried or who they even were. None of my grandparents are living and most relatives don't know much about any of my ancestors. Another I'm looking for is William Stephenson or STevenson Smith in that area but again I don't know where he is buried or who he was married to but he was my great-grandfather. So basically this is what I'm looking for: any Ballards in the area cemeteries especially Simpson Ballard any William S. Smith who died before 1943 in or around the area and whoever might be buried near him related to him Edgar Dance Smith - my grandfather - died around 1944 or 1945. Thanks for any help. Sorry for the length of this message Robin Mullaney [email protected]

I am searching for info on Samuel Thomas Pool who married Annie E. Pollard 1875 in Bosque County and settle in Navarro County shortly after. I believe they lived in the Black Hills area. Annie died 1888 and Sam died 1914. They had two children who lived past infancy, Oscar and Ada. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sherry Taylor Pollard

This message inaugurates the Navarro County, Texas mailing list. Some of my family names from Navarro County are: BARTLETT FORTSON CLOPTON CLAYTON WALKER LOOP Both my parents are from Rice. Our ancestors lived at Taos (Porter's Bluff), Chatfield, Rice, and other spots in the northeastern part of the county. Some were there when the county was formed. I'd like to hear from anyone with an interest in any of those names. Roger Bartlett Austin, Texas

I descend from William M. Martin b. 1826 NC, found in the 1850 census at Rockingham Co NC, later in the 1860 and 1870 census at Henderson Co TN. Finally, about 1878 his descendants and his widow moved to Navarro Co TX. According to the Navarro County Texas History, Vol. 2, James Nathaniel Martin was the cousin of Geroge Wesley Martin. Since George Wesley Martin b. 1849 Rockingham Co NC was the son of William M. Martin b. 1826 NC and Mary M. Young b. 1825 NC, that would mean James Nathaniel Martin b. 1836 NC was the son of the brother of William M. Martin b. 1826 NC. I searched the 1850 census at Rockingham Co NC, and find only one name which could be James Nathaniel Martin b. 1836 NC, that is in the following family group: Bayly Martin, 53, b. NC, Farmer Isabella Martin, 53, b. NC Elizabeth Martin 25, b. NC Emily Martin , 21, b. NC William T. Martin, 19, b. NC, Laborer J.W. Martin, 16, b. NC, Laborer James Martin, 13, b. NC M.F. Martin, 12, NC (female) E.C. Martin, 9, b. NC (female) I believe the above James Martin is in fact James Nathaniel Martin b. 1836 NC, who later is found in the 1870 census at Henderson Co TN, along side his Uncle William M. Martin. Also this James Nathaniel Martin is found in the 1880 census at Navarro Co TX along side the descendants of William M. Martin. It is apparent, that James N. Martin and family, George Wesley Martin and family and Mary M. Martin, and family all moved from Henderson Co TN to Navarro Co TX about 1878. They had all lived in Henderson Co TN from 1854 thru 1878. They lived the Civil War years in Henderson Co TN. Henderson Co TN voted to fight on the Union side in the War, and I have found a James N. Martin listed for Union Army in the 12th TN Cavalry, Company I. I do NOT know if this is the same man. When they got to Navarro Co they lived in Retreat and in Corsicana areas. In Lowe's United Methodist Church Cemetery, on Hwy 87, between Williamburg and Reidsville, NC, lies buried the Bailey Martin family of the 1850 census. Bailey Martin b. 3-29-1796 d. 9-25-1870 Isabel Martin b. 5-8-1796 d. 7-15-1866 (w/o Bailey) Alexander W. Martin b. 1-20-1866 d. 8-3-1894 Mary Nannie Roberts Martin b. 7-11-1867 d. 8-28-1929 (w/o A. W. Martin) John W. Martin b. 8-27-1833 d. 7-16-1912 (s/o Bailey) Bettie E. Martin b. 9-15-1839 d. 6-29-1917 (w/o John W.) J.T. Martin b. 11-19-1860 d. 8-20-1891 (s/o John W. +Bettie) Lesley M. Martin b. 12-30-1886 d. 10-8-1887 (s/o J.T. amd Alice V. Martin) William Thomas Martin b. 12-17-1830 d. 5-13-1907 (s/o Bailey) Fannie A. Martin b. 8-17-1834 d. 3-11-1902 (w/o W.T. Martin) From the Cemetery records above, it appears that James Nathaniel Martin went to live near his Uncle William M. Martin in Henderson Co TN about the time of his father's death. I have NOT found a record for the death of William M. Martin b. 1826 NC, however the Navarro County Texas History Book, Vol 2, say he died in 1870. If this is true, both brothers Bailey and William Martin both died in Summer of 1870. Perhaps this is what caused James Nathaniel Martin to live near the widow Mary M. Young Martin in Henderson Co TN, to help her with her family of young children. I would appreciate hearing from anyone related to any of these persons. I am Lilly, d/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o William M. Martin b. 1826 NC. Best regards, Lilly Martin
