Hi Lilly Check the time/date function on your computer. Your letter arrived dated "sept 12, 1998"! And it's such a good letter. My mail program wants to file it deep deep in the archives, however. In it, by the way, you remark that >> 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... I've wondered why so many people from that part of Tennessee wound up in Navarro County after the Civil War. Could it be that they had the Union cause in common? Was Navarro known for having a lot of former Union sympathizers among its early settlers?

I am still searching for Cornelius Talbot's family on the 1900 or 1910 census. He and the children that were left after his wife Amanda died in 1902 could have been with the married children. Looking for: Lucy Florence who md. J. Tom Grice Dec. 1891 in Navarro County. Minnie Ola Talbot and sister Donia Talbot were more than likely placed with their siblings when the 1910 census was taken. Older sister Bathsheba md. after the 1900 census to Will Coffelt/Cofield but he died before the 1910 census. If you have any information on this family, please contact me.

Melody, you might have better luck by trying the rootsweb web site for Navarro county. Try www.rootsweb.com/~txnavarr If that doesn't work go to www.rootsweb.com and click on the web sites, then choose United States, then Texas, then Navarro county. That will take you there. Happy hunting!

In a message dated 5/31/2004 1:06:49 AM Central Standard Time, malik@scs-net.org writes: James W. Martin, s/o James Nathaniel Martin of Corsicana, married Eugenia Posey. I am "guessing" that she was also a daughter of Adrian Posey, of Dist 129, Navarro Co TX. Eugenia was born 1867 TX, and died 1891. She left a son George Thomas Martin b. 1888 Corsicana, TX d. 7-24-1961 Blythe, Riverside Co CA, married to Willa Mae Stewart. He is buried at Oakwood Cemetery, Corsican, Navarro Co TX. The Stewart family is my line - Willie Mae Stewart and my grandfather were first cousins. Her parents were James Warren Stewart and Mary Louise Lowery who came to Navarro County circa 1880 and settled in the Dresden/Blooming Grove area. I have known her name to be "Willie Mae" - and you show "Willa Mae" - I am not sure of the name and wonder if someone with a Navarro County Cemetery book could check the Oakwood Cemetery listing and see what is listed there. Wil Bachman - TxBlueBnt@aol.com Researching Stewart (Ga/Tn/Tx), Finch(Ky/Tx), Dean (Al, Tx), (Douglass (Tn/Tx), Timmons (Md/SC/Ga/Tx), Brogdon (Al, Tx), Rogers (NC/Tx), Copeland (Ky/Tx), Gustafson (Pa), Bachman (Germany, Pa)

I have made this report on the Posey name in Navarro Co TX. As of the 1880 census, at Navarro Co., TX, there is only one Posey family living there. Adrian Posey, b. 1830 GA Elinor Posey , b. 1834 TN Nettie Posey, b. 1862 TX Lula Posey , b. 1871 TX The above Nettie Posey married W. M. Seale on Dec 23, 1883 in Navarro Co TX. There came another Posey family to Navarro Co TX, who may be related, or not. Perhaps, the 2 heads of households were brothers? 1880 census, at Indian Creek, Bullock Co., Alabama: William Posey b. 1820 SC both parents born SC Sarah Posey b. 1822 SC Jacob Posey b. 1857 AL Josephine Posey b. 1860 AL James Posey b. 1861 AL George Posey b. 1867 AL James Petty b. 1868 AL, he is "other" and works of the farm (Question: Is this Petty related to the Petty family who came to Navarro Co TX?) I believe that the above Josephine Posey is the one who married L.L. Gramlin on Oct 22, 1884 at Navarro Co TX. I believe that the above James Posey married G.A. Dixon on Jan 24, 1884 at Navarro Co TX I believe that the above Geroge Posey, was known as "Lonnie" and he married Margaret Frances Martin "Fannie" on April 13, 1887 in Navarro Co TX. (the court record shows G.J. Posey as the name) I believe the above William Posey is buried at Long Prairie Cemetery, Navarro Co ,TX (Vol 5 Cem. Book) William Posey b. Jan 11, 1821 d. July 5, 1890. Buried near by is Jimme Dixson Posey, the infant daughter of J.M. Posey and B.A. Dixon (marriage record say G. A. ?) G. J. Posey, aka "Lonnie", and Fannie Martin , d/o James Nathaniel Martin of Corsicana, TX, had 2 kids before he died very young. 1. Euna Posey, married Edward Miller Carl 2. William Posey b. 1890 At the Frost Cemetery, Navarro Co TX, is buried William F. Posey b. 3-20-1880 d. 9-20-1942, he is the son of Lonnie Posey. His wife is Ora D. Posey b. 7-27-1884 d. 4-14-1965, thier son is Robert Hollis Posey b. 10-2-1901 d. 7-4-1911 I am going to GUESS that George Posey, aka Lonnie, was probably buried prior to 1900 in the Long Prairie cemetery, Navarro Co TX, but perhaps did not have a head stone, or had one but it has been sunk, or destroyed, etc. Perhaps a very through inspection of the cemetery, might locate his grave. I base that guess on the fact that William Posey is buried there, and I believe he is the father of Lonnie. James W. Martin, s/o James Nathaniel Martin of Corsicana, married Eugenia Posey. I am "guessing" that she was also a daughter of Adrian Posey, of Dist 129, Navarro Co TX. Eugenia was born 1867 TX, and died 1891. She left a son George Thomas Martin b. 1888 Corsicana, TX d. 7-24-1961 Blythe, Riverside Co CA, married to Willa Mae Stewart. He is buried at Oakwood Cemetery, Corsican, Navarro Co TX. I "think" Eugenia Posey was cousin to Lonnie Posey, and that both cousins married the kids of James Nathaniel Martin. If you see any connections, please write back. Best regards, Lillian Kathleen Martin researching the Martin families who arrived in Navarro Co as of 1878 from Henderson Co TN, originating in Rockingham Co NC.

Dear friends, Many thanks to all of you, especially Jo, Clark, R. MacLaine, Linda, Frances, and Micelle,who wrote caring and supportive letters. I value your warm thoughts and good wishes. My special thanks to Justin, Ann, & Beth: I got my list, mission accomplished! Billie, you wonder why I askedfor names of the train depots. In writing my book, I have put my cousin on the train from Corsicana,TX ,where he just buried his daughter, going to Durant,OK, where he lives. I need the names of the depots/towns to add depth and reality to my tale. Many times, authors are reluctant to divulge their stories and plots for the very same reasons, it turns out, that some genealogists are reluctant to divulge the names of the railroad depots.
