Hello list members. I am new to this list (10/5/99) and have not posted anything to it. My name is Charles C. Royall, San Angelo TX. I am descended from Angus Nicholson McLeod b Dec 6, 1849, Hemphill, Sabine Co. TX m Sarah Ella Little in Cooper TX. Angus is my ggrandfather and he raised my mother. His father was John Alexander McLeod m Susanna Youngblood Dec 15, 1841 Caddo Parish LA. They moved to Hemphill, according to Poll Tax Records in 1846. Some of the lines connected to this family are: Peace, Toole, Little, Sonscrant, Brown, Stephens, McCook, Schnell, Smart, Hendrick, Gracey, Collins, Harvey, and dozens more. Some are yet undiscovered. A local resident that is kin was/is Blanche Toole, a local historian in Sabine County. I do not know if she is still living. I have not heard from her in over 15 years. I know that there are probably many persons descended from my lines still residing in the local area. If you are one or, if you are doing research on these families, I would be delighted to hear from you. I have been working on it for 30 years and it has been a difficult search. Would like to bring it up to modern times. That can be done only with information from living persons, as you are aware information has to be 75 years old before making it available to the public. I have hundreds of pages of information and thousands of names to share even with it being incomplete. Sarah Youngblood deeded her land in Hemphill to her grandson James T. Peace on the day of her death, 4 June 1889. I am very intrested in marriage and death records of Sabine Co. Church records, anything and everything pertaining to Sabine County, on all of the related lines. Oral histories are also very valuable to me. Anyone is welcome to my information and may use it in any way they see fit, after all, I recived it from public records, even though it consumed thousands of hours on my part. I would like for all of these families to be remembered after I am gone. There is no one in my family to continue my work, or at least, no one that cares enough to continue it. I have become "the older generation." Thank You Charlie Royall 2063 Putter Dr San Angelo, TX 76904 Ph 915-944-0469
