Dear Lee, I talked to my brother in law about Miles Courtney. He has done a lot of research in Shelby Co. He doesn't have any more info on him than I do. Are you a descendent of this line? I'm sending this to the Shelby List and the East Texas List to see if there is any help there. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Kay ******************************************* Subject: a family history question Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 07:30:58 -0600 From: lee courtney <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Ms. McCary--I am seeking information about Miles Courtney, an Irish immigrant who lived near Tenaha at the turn of the century. In 1898, he married Eliza Murphy, the daughter of Reverend James S. Murphy and Mary Jane McCary Murphy. Miles Courtney died in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Enos Campbell at Good Hope in December of 1920. Do you know of anyone who might be able to help me? I note that Nelda Turner Walker has written of the McCary and Murphy families in History of Shelby County. Do you know how I might get in touch with her? The Shelby County websites are tremendously impressive. I wish every Texas county had such representation. Thank you very much.
