Hello List: Does anyone on the list have relatives named Southers? My ggggrandfather Golden Mitchell had a daughter named Nancy Winifred Mitchell.Who married Andrew Southers.I am searching for the gggrand child of theirs. gggrandmother was Nancy Southers, went to Texas-Palo Pinot county- with her husband Andrew,(from Ky.) when she died, he went to Mexico, if you have any knology of Mexico, his name was Andrew Jackson Southers. Does anyone know this family? Any help would be appreciated. Lisa in Tennessee

I have been searching, to no avail, for information regarding Robert Evans and his daughter, Fanny Evans. I don't know much. I've been told that Robert Evans was a blacksmith in Mineral Wells. Fanny would have been born ca. 1890 and married William Freeman Johnson from Alabama by 1910 when they had a son named Ernest Robert Johnson, born perhaps in Ft. Worth in Sept. 1910. Fanny died, date unknown, and William returned to Alabama and remarried. I understood there to still be relatives of this side of the family in the Mineral Wells area in the late 1960's when a family ranch was sold, but I have no names since my father died 15 years ago and no idea if anyone is still in the area. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Tami

Pat, I have a Eugene Hall, born about 1880 in Mississippi, married Mae B Snelling in 1909 in Palo Pinto County. While you do not list Eugene, it may be more than a coincidence that he is about the same age as your Mississippi Halls. Any ideas about who he might be? Cheers, Jim

Dear Peggy, Sorry I have been so long in answering your inquiry. The purpose of posting these names to the Palo Pinto County message board was to find out if any of these men were from the area. Capt. Joel McKee is the only one in this whole incident that I know was from Palo Pinto County. Now let me get to the story. The following are from the Sept. 13, 1861 issue of The White Man published in Weatherford, Texas: >From Palo Pinto we learn that more than fifty "Anti-Base-Line Rangers" left that county on yesterday for the headwaters of the Brazos. They will follow the Last Indian trail...we wish we were with them We hear from Erath County that a company of "Anti-Base-Line Rangers" will leave there to join the company from Palo Pinto. I found a story on the internet that was written by a descendent of Nelson Haven that said he was a partner with Joel McKee in a horse ranch. (Location not stated) It seems that the Indians stole some of their finest horses and they immediately applied to the Governor of Colorado Territory for permission to arm men and go after the horses. The Governor denied their request for fear that they might stir up the Indians. The partners took matters into their own hands and armed one hundred men with rifles. On Sept. 30, 1861 John Sowers was arrested in Denver and joined McKee, Martin Reiley and Robert J. Reed who were arrested the day before also in Denver. The 39 men that I listed in the previous email were arrested on Oct. 18, 1861 at Fort Wise (now known as Fort Lyon) for stealing ammunitions wagons and transferred to the Territorial Prison in Denver. It seems that all of these men were charged with treason and conspiracy although only McKee and six others are named in the indictment. Since no one quite knew what to do with these men, they were kept in prison until word could come from Washington, DC. Thirty-six prisoners decided that they had had enough of the jail and escaped on Feb. 27, 1862. Some writers suggest that the jailers had a big hand in the "escape" since they were tired of caring for them. There were 6 men listed as escapees that were not listed among those arrested at Fort Wise and then on April 14, 1862 twelve more were discharged having signed oaths of allegiance. The Rocky Mountain News of March 13, 1962 quoted the Buckskin Joe Mountaineer that stated Capt. McKee and 20 well armed and mounted men were at Pueblo a few days before. News from the South dated April 26, 1862 reported by A. U. Colby (appeared in the Rocky Mountain News May 3, 1862) states that Dr. Farner and the Railey boys went south and joined McKee's party below Fort Garland. On the next page of the RMN is a small article that says McKee has joined Sibley's forces in New Mexico. I have two theories about this whole incident. One is that these men were Confederate sympathizer trying to assist in taking the Colorado goldfields and the other that they were attempting to recover the horses that were stolen. The only knowledge I have of these men after 1862 is of Joel McKee, Nelson Haven and Dr. Jerome Glick. McKee went back to Texas where he became the surveyor of Palo Pinto County at some point and married Fannie Metcalfe in 1876 at the age of 53. Nelson Haven was reunited with his wife and daughters after she had had him declared legally dead and had remarried. Dr. Glick ended up in Montana as a reluctant vigilante. If you have any questions, please let me know. Linda McClendon

I would be interested in any information you have on the George McCluskey/McCleskey listed in the names of people you are researching.... would he be one who was killed by Indians in about 1873? Peggy McCleskey Broughton

HI, Can any one tell me what happened in 1900 to people that had no family around and dies? Who buried them? If they had small children what happened to Them? Barbara

Barbara if they had no kin then the county would bury them an if family could not be found them sometimes neighbors would take them but most times they become wards of the court.

Don't know if there were more or not. One was Myrtle and the other girl, Ivy. Myrtle married a Mr Foster and they had a son, Cleo E Foster born between 1918-1919. Eli's wife was Lenora Adaline Goad and she was born in March, 1870, Boone Co., AR.I do appreciate you writing.

The William Tipton that I mentioned was arrested at Fort Wise, Co. on 10/18/1861. He was with the other men who stole army wagons and goods apparently for the use of the Confederate Army. Does this sound familiar? Linda

I am looking for information on my grandmother's first husband, Tom Bradford. They were married in Palo Pinto on 11 Sep 1900 by C.H. Ray. Frances Aston was 16 and he was supposedly a much older man and died within a year after their marriage. She was remarried in 1903. She was listed in the 1900 census in June living with her sister Belle Aston and her husband Timothy T Griffin. Tom Bradford does not appear in the 1900 census nor can I find any information about a Tom Bradford who was older and not married. Any help would be appreciated. > --- Jan Wilson --- janwilson@sprintmail.com --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.
