Barb, I have looked at the Deed Papers several more times and it clearly looks like "L". W. McCarley. However, on the Deed he is just a Trustee of the Church not the land donor. There many have been other people that also donated land for the church. I don't think my copies will scan well but if you want to privately send me your address I will be happy to mail you a copy of the Deed papers. I have McCarley data but I have not put it very good order as yet. I believe the people you mentioned are listed below. I hope this format will work when I send it. If not I will e-mail it to you privately as an attachments. Let me know if you are looking for other McCarley data and I will share what I have.

At least I believe they did. Her brother G. W. McCarley owned land next to them and Ezekiel P. Wallis and wife Sarah (McCarley) adjoined land with each of them. Somewhere about 1838 or 1839 were the dates of owning the land. > I have been looking for any McCarley's who are a part of this family. They came from Pope Co., Arkansas before entering Texas. Before Arkansas they were in Morgan Co., Alabama. > I was lucky enough to find Ulisses Ware, son of John and Ann, just the other day, in the 1870 Census in Little River Co., Ark. with a 12 year old son John. > If anyone has any information about any of these three families, I would appreciate hearing from you. > Ezekiel P. and Sarah (McCarley) Wallis are buried in Stone Chapel cemetery, Cherry Community. > Barb > > > > ==== TXREDRIV Mailing List ==== > > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
