Hello, I am a descendant of Daniel Doolen b. 1765 Ireland. The Navarro Co Doolen families are my relatives. I now understand more about the Doolen families , and the Jones families, and the Pursley families, and the Meaders ,who all lived as neighbors and relatives in Marion Co IL, and then some of them later came to Navarro Co TX. Arrival about mid-1850's to TX. If you believe you may be from those 4 groups write back with details and perhaps I can look up your name in the data I have so far accumulated. Best regards, Lillian Kathleen Martin

I have a Pursley/Anderson connection I know very little about. I think the first connection is: Emma Josephine Pursley m. 1888 Thomas Mitchell Anderson. My wife's line is Anderson, connected through the grandfather of Thomas.
