Jan, I see a Thomas T Bradford on sheet 14B ED 122 "Justice Precinct". Is there a possibility this is the same one married to your Frances? His wife could have died after the census was taken and then married Frances. I see she is also in ED 122 sheet 16A, so not too far from him.

The very first time I find my Taylor family is in 1880, living in Caldwell County, Texas. My Cornelius Taylor is supposed to have been born in Indiana, 1826. I am assuming, by census and, by the age of a son, William T. Taylor, he was married before he married my great grandmother, Louisa Hollingshead. I know, not a good thing to assume anything in genealogy. On the Caldwell County census there were 6 children, William T., born 1864, Mary Taylor, born 1874, Viola Victoria Taylor, born Feb. 12, 1875, John Taylor, born 1876, Zora Ziola Taylor, born 1878, Lula Taylor, born May 14, 1879 all in AL. By 1900 the family was in Custer County, IT-OK with 2 additional children, Lela F. Taylor, born May 1884 and Claud, born April 1886 in Texas. William T. Taylor married Sarah Newton in Custer County, OK in 1897. Viola married William Riley Griffin in Custer County, OK in 1899. Lula Taylor married Elmo Trigg and moved to Palo Pinto County, Texas. In 1900 they were living in Palo Pinto County with 4 children. 1900 Palo Pinto, TX Census records Elmo listed his occupation as a coal miner. Lela Taylor is living in same household with her parents in 1910 with a 6 year old child. She is listed as a widow and her surname is now Cummings. I have no idea who she married nor what happened to her husband. I have been told she married a man named Gold McEntyer and died in Pampa, Grey County, Texas. Zora Ziola, married William Morton in Custer County, OK. I know nothing of John, Mary or Claud. Cornelius died sometime after 1910. I do not know where he is buried nor the date of his death. He was on Custer County Census in 1910. I know his wife, Louisa, was visiting my grandmother, Viola Victoria Taylor Griffin, in Titus County, TX when she died in 1917, There was almost a family feud when she was buried in the family cemetery in Titus County instead of being shipped back to OK. I wish I knew more about these ancestors of mine. Thanks for any information, Darlene

I'm still searching for any information on Robert Douglas Smith, who was in the Mineral Wells area in the 1940s. Robert was one of four sons of Sam Allen Smith and Ada Stanford. Ada died somewhere between 1895 and 1905-10. Burial place unknown. Sam Allen Smith died in Young County, near Olney. Robert was the brother of my grandmother Essie Mae Smith Adkins (husband - Luther William Adkins), and three other brothers - Heza K., Horace, and Walter. Any leads greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lucille Adkins

Tell me more about your TAYLOR family please. Henry Green TAYLOR was bone in Mineral Wells to William and Millie TAYLOR in 1882. This William TAYLOR was either William Lester to Lester William. (There are so many of them that it is hard to be sure.) This William and Millie also had a son Lester William who was married to Maudie ? and a son C. TAYLOR. Henry married Lucy FINCH in 1900 in Vian, I.T. Does this ring any bells with your TAYLOR line? Vickie Neill Taylor flip@okplus.com

Michael, Their is a publication titled "A Short History of the Patillo Community of Erath Co., TX" by Charles S. McCleskey.It is in 2 volumes. I know that Tarleton College (I believe part of U of Texas) located in Stephenville has both volumes. On Page 45-46 is info on a Henry Hampton Allen family that came from Alabama in the late 1800's. (Info in Vol 2) It also has school pictures of the children from 1910-11. Henry was born c 1874...son of George W. & Sally Jordan Allen...who were buried at Green's Creek near Stephenville. I dont know if he is connected to your Allens's just passing along some info that maybe of interest to you. In Bosely Cemetery (Palo Pinto Co) are buried a Manuel Allen 1866-1942 & Robert B. Allen 1853-1905...I dont know if they are connected to the foregoing Allen's.. Several years ago I asked the people in the Library, Genealogy Section, at Tarleton to make copies of some pages for me...and they did...I don't know if they will still do that. Good hunting! Allen's is not a family I am researching Jim S(California) << earching for any information on ALLENs buried in Sturdivant Cemetery. Matilda ALLEN (born abt 1825 in Franklin County, AL; died Palo Pinto/Parker County) was the mother of Ransom Cass HOLLAND, who owned property south of Mineral Wells airport overlooking Rock Creek. Matilda's father (also in Sturdivant Cemetery) was L. ALLEN (born October 19, 1792; died abt 1894). There are other ALLENs buried in Sturdivant who are borthers, etc. Any help/suggestions welcomed.

What information do you have on the Eoff line? I have some Eoff information. It is not from Palo Pinto Co., but think it is from Stephenville area, which would make it Erath Co., also there is a Brown Co., connection with some Eoff families. From what I understand on the early Eoff's; There were two brothers that imigrated from Germany in the 1700's. Give me a bit of time and I will pull out what I have on the Eoff line.

My parents were married January 24, 1909, in a buggy, as was a custom back then. They married outside the preacher's home, or maybe it was a Justice of the Peace, at Gordon, TX.My dad was Lester L (L L) MCELROY and my mother was Ella Jane MCKINNEY. He was 20 and she was 15 years old. Ella was the daughter of John (J J) McKinney and Eliza Jane (Jenny) PLEDGER McKinney. My grandfather was a rancher and also a former member of the Confedracy, serving from the state of MS. He was born 1843 in Lincoln Co., TN. He and my mother shared the same birthday, June 13, he in 1843 and she in 1893 - she was born on his 50th birthday. She was child number 12 out of a family of 14. My grandmother was born in GA and her parents were Wesley Pledger, a Methodist preacher, and Eliza Abagail (Jenny) HAMILTON. The Pledger family came to Hill Co., TX after the Civil War with other Pledger and Hamilton families.My grandparents married in Hill Co. in 1871.
