Diane, Bingo!! I found some of my notes. The people I know at Madras/Concord, Gillie Woods Quick and her Brother Bill Woods. Their parents are Marshall Lee Woods and Jessie Joe Bledsoe Woods. Jessie Joe (female) parents are Joe Bledsoe & Mary Barnett Bledsoe. My notes are fuzzy from this point, but John's father may have been Gilbert Porter Quick and his father may have been John Morgan Quick. It also seems in my fuzzy notes that Marshall Woods son, Joe Bledsoe married Mary Barnett. Now I know that a Isabelle Giddens married a William Martin Barnett. Isabelle was a sister to my G Grandfather William Jefferson Giddens, children of my GG GF Wiley William Giddens Bill Woods daughter Mary Jo married Bill McGill and live very close to Concord Cemetery, just past Madras. Another daughter, Barbara married Steve Champe (maybe). Well it is late and I must work a long day tomorrow. More later if I have something. Jim Giddens Paris, TX Gillie's husband was John Quick, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Miller" <dianermiller@cox-internet.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:00 PM Subject: Re: [TXREDRIV] Madras Cemetery/Old Shiloh Cem. > Jim thank you for the information.
