Saw the name Stratton in your message. My ggg grandfather had a daughter who married a son of A.J. Stratton. Here is what info I have gathered. Absolum J. Stratton born Feb 28, 1831 in Ky md Dorcas Emeline Baird who was born Oct 9, 1931 in middle Tenn. Married in 1850 in Ark. Had 4 children born there. Then moved to Parker co. Tx. Had 7 more children. Dorcas died in Parker Co and is buried at Poolville. The article I read said A.J. died in Oklahoma and is buried there. Hope this helps. Absolum's parents were: George Von Stratton md to Clara Logan and may have had a 2nd wife. This info I got from a Parker County History book. -----Original Message----- From: Ruth [mailto:Ruthgoose@prodigy.net] Sent: Monday, September 27, 1999 12:32 AM To: TXPARKER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXPARKER]Stratton connection ----- Original Message ----- From: Ruth <Ruthgoose@prodigy.net> > In search of Doras Emerline Beard born 1833 Hickman co Tenn.
