Drew, It is a lot of fun researching the Becknells. I think ; however, that Sarah Elizabeth was actually the daughter of William A.Becknell, Jr.. That would make her a granddaughter of Capt. B.from a different direction. I had forgotten that she had married a Bagwell. She is buried in the Old Shamrock Cem.. Jim tells me there are Rogers buried there too. Where did you get the name Kirty fo John K.? I have seen that before ;however, I don't have any info. on where it came from. This stuff is fun isn't it? Tom Heath,TX PS John K did have a daughter named Sarah, but I'm pretty sure the one you connect to is through W.A.Becknell,Jr. I understand Jr. was killed when he feel from a horse and hit his head on a tree. He is buried in Becknell's Cem. with his parents. >From: "Drew Slate" <drew-slate@charter.net> >Reply-To: TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com >To: TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [TXREDRIV] Rogers and rambling >Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 18:49:19 -0500 > >Ok, here is the way I am connected to Capt Becknell. > >Here is my line back to the Love family. > >Drew Slate >Jack Slate - Father >Lois Wallace - GrandMother >Nora Love - GGrandmother >Samuel Walker Love - GGGrandfather > >Now, Samuel Walker Love's oldest child was William Hubbard Love.

Tom, Sorry, I said there is a Rogers buried at Old Shiloh. I must tell everyone this is not there first time Tom got the names mixed up (and still does) When Tom and I took our recent tour of RR Co, Tom said he wanted to go to Old Shiloh Cemetery, I directed him to it. After we left the cemetery, he told me he meant Old Shamrock. We got a laugh out of it. Anyway, we have the pleasure of visiting both cemeteries that day. I guess that is why Tom was not interested in wading the weeds at Old Shiloh Cemetery. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Watson DDS" <tom_watson_dds@hotmail.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 10:20 PM Subject: RE: [TXREDRIV] Rogers and rambling > Drew, > It is a lot of fun researching the Becknells.
