-- MORTALITY SCHEDULES This was posted on Ancestry.....someone was asking about it recently: Included in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses were questions regarding those who died in the twelve months prior to the enumeration. They list persons who died 1 June - 31 May of the year prior to the census. Even though these lists of deaths are widely believed to under-report actual numbers of deceased, this is still a valuable source of information. In many states where vital records were not kept it provides a nation-wide death register for five years between 1849 and 1880. The schedule lists the deceased name, sex, age, color, widowed or not, place of birth, month of death, occupation, and cause of death. In 1870 the parents' birthplace was added.

-----Original Message----- From: Bill Grubbs <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, June 27, 1999 3:38 PM Subject: Underwater Cemeteries in Shelby County Are you aware of any cemeteries that were flooded as a result of the creation of Toledo Bend Reservoir? My wife is doing research on the Jonathon Anderson line and it is believed some of their graves of now inaccessible. Do you have documentation of family burial plots that are not cemeteries as such? Bill Grubbs [email protected]

Although I am going away from my computer for several days, I would like to leave a message for all of the good, hard working folks such as Leonard Irish who just posted his work on the Lone Oak Cemetary and for Ray Jackson for his incredible work and EVERYBODY ELSE who has done work on the cemeteries of Shelby County, Texas. The message is that I would like to give some input on the Cassel Cemetary (BEFORE IT IS POSTED ON-LINE) to the person who is going to put it on line. If no one has volunteered to do it, I will do it. The Cassel Cemetary is small as far as the numbers of tombstones go, but as with any of the cemeteries, there is some history behind it. My great-great grandmother, Delilah Ann Carroll Booth Paul (08 July 1838-07 November 1892) is buried there and I have been going there since the early 1960's. Thanks very much and excuse my not being able to respond for over a week. Tony Lanagan

My ancestors (BUCKLEY) were early settlers of Shelby Co. and my direct line moved on before 1900. I've never even been in the county. Nevertheless, all those cemeteries listed on line are extremely helpful for researchers like me. You are preserving my family history too. I want to personally say thanks to those people who are listing and posting the data. You are a great help to us "online genealogist." From all of us that can't get to Shelby Co. a big thank you, Grant W. JOHNSTON Chico, CA

Grant, Unfortunately you missed one of the great historians of all time, Dr. George Truett Buckley (1898-c.1982) Cousin Truett was a Carroll/Booth/Paul descendant and the oldest of 20 or so first cousins of my mother; his mother, in turn, was the oldest of my grandmother's sisters and brothers and her mother was the oldest of the previous generation. I only know that his father was the Reverend Tyre Buckley and was of the Buckley families in the southern part of Shelby County. Truett lived mostly in Columbus, MS where he headed the English department of Mississippi State College for Women. This just shows you what can turn up with a little 'press' like we have here on this great Shelby Rootsweb. regards, Tony Lanagan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, June 26, 1999 3:52 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Abijah Davis >In a message dated 6/25/99 3:09:47 PM Pacific Daylight Time, >[email protected] writes: > ><< > Sorry sir, > but I don't now of any connections of this group to Benton County, AL or Red > River County, TX.

She married John Henry McLeroy 11/1883 in Panola Co. He was b. 1/1855 in GA and d. 3/15/1931 in Timpson. Both are buried in the Timpson-Woodlawn Cem. They were parents of Maud (b. 1885), Annie (b. 1886), Charles (b. 1889), John B. (b. 1893), Carrie (b. 1894), Loula H. (b. 1896) and Robert L. (b. 1898). John Henry McLeroy was a Baptist circuit preacher. Before his marriage to Loula Gray, he had been married to Larissa Baker in 1877. I do not know if there were children from this union. He married for a third time to Esther Cummins just a few months before his death. According to one source, Loula's mother's given name may have been Elvira. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

And thank you, Harold Solomon Thanks for the info on the Hooper family. Possibly, I will come up with another question later but will have to dig out some materials. Then, I can tell you the names of the exact persons that I mentioned. Do you know Frances Clements Lapp? is she still out there and researching? she would be elderly, if so; worked up the Zachariah Booth line and lived in Fort Worth in the 1980's.

We have NO George Carroll in the lines of the Shelby County Carrolls back to the 1700's. There was a set of Carrolls in Van Zandt County, Texas whose line merges with the Shelby County Carrolls in 1780 or so in York County, South Carolina. I do not have their lineage readily available.

Sorry Harold, I don't know Susan Davis. I do know that a daughter of Zachariah Booth and Elizabeth Brinson Booth of the Buena Vista area married a Hooper. That is all that I know of the Hoopers. In the 1960's they had a picture of Zach Booth (son of the above Zach Booth) when he was sheriff of Shelby. Do you know who has the photo today? The Hooper/Booth descendants that owned it lived in towntown Timpson in a large house. The lady who owned the photo had a brother who was a Timpson law enforcement officer... ??? sheriff?/ Thanks for writing, Tony Lanagan
