If you have not noticed --- the records for Mangum, Bartles and Tucker funeral homes have not been available for about a week. It is due to the problems with KTNET services. These records reside on KTSNET. I am not able to determine when these files will be up and running. I keep being advised that it will be today, But the today never comes. When these records become available we will remove them from KNET and place with another server. Will keep you informed. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi List My name is Debra and I am new to this list. Let me tell you my history and maybe some of you Neals might can make a connection for me My ggggrandfather was James Michum who was listed on the 1850 Shelby Co census in East Hamilton District 1850 Shelby Co, Tx post office Hamilton 38 213 213 Michum Ja.s* 56 M Farm 130 N.C. X REMARKS: *James 39 213 213 Michum Eliza E. 33 F Geo. X maiden name might be English or Elkins 40 213 213 Michum Susan 10 F Tex 41 213 213 Michum Jere'm 7 M Tex 42 213 213 Michum Dan'l 4 M Tex 1 213 213 Michum Ja.s* M. 3 M Texas REMARKS: James (we believe he is buried in Van Zandt Co Tx) 2 213 213 Michum Elviry A. 2 F Texas 1860 We can not find them in the census of Shelby but do believe they were there but somehow missed or omitted I have since learned that Jerremiah and William Daniel (my gggrandfather) joined the CSA in Shelbyville and were gone in the 1860's but where was the rest of the family. 1870 Census of Shelby County in household with Thomas Neal Family Post office Hamilton 03-148-148 Neal, Thomas 20 M W Farmer 300 75 LA " Susan 30 F W Keeps House TX " John F. 11 M W At Home TX this should be John T not F\ and a Wilkerson not a Neal and his middle name was Thomas am in touch with a descendant who still lives in Van Zandt Co. " Martha E. 9 F W TX " William M. 7 M W TX " James F. 5 M W TX Michum, James 87 M W At Home NC " Neal Sarah 60 F W TN 1870 Shelby also post offfice Hamilton 03-74-74 Neal, Josiah F. 20 M W Farmer 300 50 TX " Susan A. 30 F W Keeps House TX " John T. 12 M W At School TX Wilkerson not Neal " Martha 9 F W " TX " Wm. 6 M W TX " James 4 M W TX We think that Susan and her family were counter twice 1880 Shelby Co Tx census 89-99 Neal, S.A. 42 F W Farmer Tx La Tx " M.J. 9 F Daughter " " " " C.A. 6 F " " " " " Louia 7/12 F " " " " Wilkerson, J.T. 14 M Son " " " think his age must be wrong *** Mitchim, J.M. 33 M Brother Maybe someone out there might be able to help me with my Elusive Susan. In 1910 she is in Van Zandt Co living with her second son Jessie L Wilkerson and his wife Zonia ? and John T Wilkerson kids are with her and Jessie. Yet we can not seem to find where James the father is buried. I personally believe he is buried in East or West Hamilton Cem in a unmarked grave Also my gggrandfather was William Daniel Michum and he moved to Bell Co by 1880 and then to Limestone Co and is on the 1910 Limestone Co Census. He also is buried in a town called Watt in Limestone Co in a cem called Prairie Hill. Any help Identifying the ancestors of either Neal or John T Wilkersons father would be greatly appreciated or which Neal Susan married. Debra and thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter how small.
