Dear Tamara, A couple of suggestions: 1. Check the 1870 Wise Co. census. There seems to have been a county line dispute around that time and it could be that they were in the part of Parker (Wise?) that was under dispute. 2. Write to Wise Co. for a death certificate. There records are sometimes available for folks in Parker Co. also. (There was a lot of Indian action in that area during the 60's and 70's. I have one family that actually moved back to their home state for five years after being here for 2 or 3 years. The Indian problem and the Civil War were both reasons to go back "home". 3. Write to the Genealogy Dept. (a great one!) at Weatherford Public Library and request that they check the "family files". The address is: 1214 Charles St./ W'ford, TX 76086 Happy hunting, Kay Davis
