Sharon and some of you others from the Bagwell area. I have a picture of a fresh dug pool that my dad dug with a Ford tractor and scraper. On the back it says it was dug for Lonnie Tolar of Bagwell Rt 1. The tractor and scraper are setting at the bottom of the pool (no water yet) 45'x90'x 6'6" for $100.00 Does any body know Lonnie Tolar or where this pool may be. Sam maybe you carried mail to him. This pool was probably dug between 1947 and 1953. Mainly just curious, but any help appreciated. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. I have seen this picture many times but never looked on the back.

Ginger, I dont reconise those names yet, but thanks for the offer & if I find a connection, I would love any info. Thanks for the offer, Darla Campbell Clarksville, Tx

Jim, sometimes if you go very far into the Dean Cemetery history, I will have to get with you for a cup of coffee, as I used to live right there by it. The best known group buried there are probably the Sharps. They were some of the early Red River County land owners that really owned lots of land. They owned land from Red River to Deport. Also, the Sharps here at Slate Shoals were part of the family. I remember one grave there that the person was born in 1799. There are also some empty graves there, they dug them up, and buried them somewhere else. I do not pretend to know all about the Dean Cemetery,but I can tell some pretty wild stories about the place.

You're right, Tom. Mary Donoho had a daughter who was born in MO and who made the trip to Santa Fe as a baby. Mary had a son and another daughter while in Santa Fe. Three more daughters were born in Clarksville. This book says that they may have known Becknell but that he was no longer traveling the Santa Fe Trail at the time that the Donoho's made their trip. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BARBARA WATSON" <dadoc1964@msn.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [TXREDRIV] New First Lady of the Santa Fe Trail Sharon: I'm at the lake so I can't double check , but I think Mary Donoho already had child before she and her husband went to Santa Fe.

I think it is settled and the South Donoho St will stay Donoho, they finally settled to change only the north end of the street to MLK. That was done a few short years ago now. I think it is sad to attempt to erase history. I remember seeing the Donoho grave markers in the old Clarksville Cemetery. It think the decision was a good one.

The two Slate families that Jim is referring to are my GGGrandfather, Rev. John B. Slate, and GGrandfather, Obabydyh Jones Slate. Rev. Slate is the oldest known burial in Slate Cemetery. He was from VA. Both of his parents were born there and lived in Halifax and Pittsylvania counties (the later came out of the former and made two). He was born in Pittslyvania in 1828 and died in RR in 1901. O.J. Slate was born in TN in 1860. I am not sure what county but in 1870 the family was in Weakley Co. His father above from born in Va and his mother Letty D. ? was born in TN. I know he was still living in RR Co. in 1920 on the census and was still alive in 1923 according to my grandfather's personal journal. I feel he died between 1924-1929 from the research I have done. He probably didn't die in RR though because the Dales have never found anything on him in their research. I am still searching for his final resting place. The Slate family came to RR from Ark. They lived in Van Buren Co. for a while (about 10-15 years) and OJ married Elizabeth Dillingham there in 1881. From there OJ and family went to Pulaski Co, Ark and then to RR Co. They came by at least 1894 when my grandfather was born. There were three children before him and two for sure where born in Little Rock, Ark. The family of John B. is a little tougher to track. I know for sure he was in RR in early 1890 because he was performing marriages as a minister. He was in Van Buren Co., Ark in 1880, so he must have come between 1882-1889 sometime. I need to make another trip to RR Courthouse and go through marriage records and see what I can find. The Slates live in Vessey for a while and then moved to Bagwell. This is where the knowledge really picks up and it becomes a lot easier to track them. Bagwell is where my Love family lives and my grandparents meet. They are married in 1916 by Rev. Dale. This Rev. is Lawrence Dale's grandfather. He also performed a few other marriages for our family and also performed some funerals for my Love family. Most of this Love family is buried in Bluff cemetery outside of Bagwell. Well, I guess I rambled a little there, but maybe it will be of interest to someone. Here is a link to my family tree on Ancestry.com. It is free for anyone to look at. This will take you straight to Rev. John Broadus Slate, my gggrandfather. http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2466868&id=I21 Thanks, Drew Slate Fort Worth, Tx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Giddens" <jimg@cox-internet.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 10:21 AM Subject: [TXREDRIV] 1900 census rambling > This 1900 RR Co census on the web-site is like a potato chip to me, I just can not look at one. > I have to look at another, then another , then another. > I am seeing more and more names mentioned on this board.

Tom, I didn't know you were a grandchild of Capt. Becknell. We have a connection through some marriages. My GG Uncle William Hubbard Love married Laura Viola Bagwell. It is my understand that she was the GGranddaughter of William Becknell. I don't know alot about the Bagwell and Becknell families, but it is on my list to research and quite do simply for fun as I have no blood relation to either of them that I know of. I would love to see any information you have on Capt. Becknell in Red River Co, as I am sure the rest of the list would also. He was a very famous person and contributor to Red River Co.

Gene, I would like to discuss your Phillips/Holloway families. My ggrandmother's (mother's mother's mother, Fannie Mae Ernest (some spell it Earnest) second husband was Hal Eugene Phillips. The Phillips have lived in and around Weatherford from the 1890s to the present. This Phillips family was originally from GA.Catoosa and Whitfield Counties specifically. I don't show any Holloways in my records, but was intrigued since you mentioned Weatherford. Where were your Phillips from? I am not aware of any Phillips in Red River County, but I don't have alot on some of the Phillips children from GA. Also, I live in FT Worth and am in Weatherford all the time. My wife actually works there. I make regular trips to cemeteries in Parker County taking pictures and doing research. If you need any photos of tombstones let me know and I will get them for you.

Marlene, I have a HUGE cemetery book. Maybe I can help. Carol Tyler Scarborough China Spring, TX

When I wrote my letter to the list, I truly wasn't trying to bug anyone about looking into my Stewart family. I just wanted to say I really enjoy the things I am reading. I love the "rambling"! But, two very nice persons have offered assistance to look up some names for me...so I'll send these names on. I do so appreciate you! Jesus bless you The 1880 Red River Census listed these persons: John W. Stewart 52 Ar Ellender ? Tn John W. 16 Ar Silovan 13 Tx Elisa V. 11 Tx Elisabeth 4 Tx William 2 Tx I'm not actually sure this is "my" Stewart family. I have a Hayes family we are trying desperately to trace. One daughter was named Ellen, found as Elenda, Ellender, Ellendor in different census's and other papers. Her date of birth according to census (all known to be same person) is 1839,1840, 1841, 1845. We do know she lived in Scott County, Arkansas in 1860, age 20, still at home with her parents, married a man by the name of Stewart who served in the Confederate Army there. Then no further record. Hopefully, you will be able to find something that will indicate whether these are the Stewart's I'm looking for. I surely do appreciate your kind offers!

Darla, Welcome to the list! I have been a member since 1999 and you will not find a nicer group anywhere. I give the list manager, Cynthia Samples, much of the credit, because she allows us liberties most lists do not have. I was raised in and around Red River County, but moved away when I married 35 years ago. Last summer I moved just outside of Annona. Glad to hear others are making the transition also. A cousin married Hubert Holloway here in Annona. Both are deceased now. I know little about Hubert's family. Parents were William F. and Mary. Siblings were Clyde, Opal, and Lloyd. If this is your Holloways, I can furnish pictures and limited information.
