Posted on: San Saba Co., TX Queries<br> with Automated Mailing List Posting Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/SanSaba/10667 Surname: Cash, Wadkins, Watkins ------------------------- Lisa, Thank you ever so much ! I never thought about trying to get an inter-library loan of the Court Records. One question, do you know which court I will have to ask for the records from ? I mean would it be a State Court, District Court, or just a County Court ? I understand that the microfilmed records will come from the state archives, but, I figure that they will want an exact court name to order records from. Again, thanks ever so much for responding, I have a cousin that lives outside of San Saba and she has promised several times to go to the Courthouse and look up the records but, never has. And uncle of mine tried back in the early 1900's ( shortly after his uncle's murder) to get a copy of the court transcript and was told it was 1500 words long and that it would cost him one cent per word for a copy, he was too poor to afford it so asked my great grandfather (murder victim's brother) to go in with him on purchasing the transcript, my great grandfather said "to leave it alone as old Elijah was just as bad as those that killed him" !!! Well, it makes a good story. Thanks again. James

(I believe they come from the State Archive.) Go to the main branch of your local public library to the section that has genealogy holdings. [I know that the Dallas Public Library is very good; Ft. Worth probably is too, but I've never been there.] You need to know the timeframe and location/county. The records will probably take a couple of weeks to get to you after you make your request, and if I remember correctly, you can only request a couple of microfilm rolls at a time, so you might have hit-or-miss luck with the dates, if you're not sure. There will probably be a couple of years worth of records on each microfilm. You want the Court Minutes for the county in question, which will include a record of the charges, some basic facts of the case, the ruling of the court and the sentencing. Depending on the county and the time, there may be more detail. The records were bound into books and lettered or numbered. At the beginning of each book will be a sheet to let you know the timeframe covered by the book, and there should be an index at the beginning or end of each book. Names are sorted by the letter they start with, but usually NOT alphabetized within each letter, so you'll have to look carefully. I live in San Antonio and have requested the records for San Saba before, with no problems. Good luck! Lisa Mitchell bslick7819@aol.com

San Saba County, 1860 probably Richland Springs area... Levi John Harkey and Polly Mary Harkey, age 3, born in Texas Martha I. Harkey, age 1, born in Texas(believed Martha Jane) by 1864, following the birth of Sarah and Levi, Levi John Harkey had passed away. 1870 Census, Yell County Arkansas finds Polly and children in the household of William Hopkins. Polly may have remarried. Later, some members returned to San Saba County, particularly Martha Jane who married A.K. Bailey in 1879. Can someone add to this information. Thanks. Tom

Is anyone searching for the Smelser family who lived near Rough Creek? I believe he may have been a Baptist Minister, or maybe it was his father. Nancy Smelser married Fielding Dawson. Nancy and their son, Jackson and 3 of his children are buried in the Smelser Cemetery. I don't know if they came to San Saba first or to Willimson County. Thanks, Helynn

Gerri D. that is Researching: Cunningham,Turner, Reed, Drewett, Dean, Drago, McClellan. The Dean family that you are researching were they or are they in the San Saba area or possibly Llano or Burleson counties? My husband's Dean family before they came to Oklahoma came from SC, MS, Burleson and San Saba County TX. Some of his Dean family did stay in the Burleson, Llano and San Saba area while others came to Oklahoma. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Posted on: San Saba Co., TX Queries<br> with Automated Mailing List Posting Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/SanSaba/10662 Surname: Brewster, Graham, McFadden ------------------------- William Jefferson Brewster was born in 1859 in Georgia (not 1820). His parents were John Christenberry Brewster and Mary J. McFadden. They were married 14-MAR-1844 in Murray Co., GA. John C. was born about 1820 in GA and Mary J. was born about 1827 in VA. John C. died in the Civil War and Mary J. died after 1880, probably in Floyd Co., GA. I know nothing more about John C.'s ancestry. Perhaps his Civil War record will help. As far as I know, William J. and the San Saba Co., TX, Brewsters are unrelated. Happy hunting!! Jeannie-ology : )

Is anyone familiar with James Leonard Yarbrough who was born in San Saba in 1892, married Ruth Owen there, and died April 1, 1944 in Kerrville??? I'm trying to locate ancestors of the George Barrom Yarbrough family of San Saba who married into the Langham family ... They moved to Tarrant county somewhere around 1960 or so. Is anyone familiar with either family??? Please contact me.

Do you know anything about the Smelser family who owned the farm where the Smelser cemetery is located? Near Rough Creek. I believe their daughter, Nancy married Fielding Dawson, father of Jack Dawson. Jack and 3 of his children are buried in the Smelser Cemetery. Thanks, Helynn

Hi. Is anyone familiar with the Fannie Langham family in San Saba?? I'm related through my mother. There's another branch that I've just come into contact with, so there are a few names I'm mainly interested in.... Does anyone know if there was a Ruby Langham or a son named Benjamin Walker Langham who were also children of this Fannie?? or is there maybe another Fannie out there who could be their mother???

My great Aunt Nancy Katherene Parker dob 24 Dec 1870 dod 17 Aug 1873 died in San Saba County. Her Parents were Thomas William Parker and Marhta Caroline Poe. I doubt that they could afford to put a stone on the grave but just in case they did , could some one look in the cemetery lists for her.

Also, have you looked at the 1850 Census record of Joseph Brewster in Bexar County, p. 330? You will probably find that this is Tabitha's Brewster husband. Please share your findings with me. I have the e-mail address of another descendant for you too. Jeannie-ology : )

Dear Dot, You asked for a 'look-up' for David or Mary CORNUTT/CORNETT from the early cemetery listings. Unfortunately, there are neither listed in the book I have. In fact, the only "Cornutt" at all is a Susan F. Cornutt, buried in Hanna Cemetery, listed with a birth date of 11-29-1827 and death date of 2-1-1915. Sorry!
