Hello! I saw your recent note on the San Saba County webpage asking about the MEDDERS line. I have ONE "MEDDERS" in my personal file. Although I am not related to the MEDDERS line one of them did marry into my GAUNY line in the early 1900's as follows: Chester "Chic" MEDDERS married Eva Lee GAUNY in San Saba County in 1922. They had one son - Claude Murray MEDDERS - born in 1923. "Chic" Medders wife Eva died a year later, in 1925. For whatever reason, Eva's parents took charge of raising young Claude, and he was adopted (formally or informally I do not know) by them and from that time on his went by GAUNY rather than MEDDERS. I believe that his grandparents took sole responsibility for raising him, and he possibly didn't know his father very well. I heard - and this is only family lore - that Chester "Chic" Medders remarried and moved out of San Saba, leaving the son with his former in-laws. The son, Claude Murray Medders Gauny married Elsie Ireta Sutton in San Saba in the 1940's. He died in Bell County in the 1970's. Are Chester and/or Claude part of your MEDDERS line? If so, I'd love to share what little additional details I have with you. Where are you located? Is anyone else on this list connected to this MEDDERS line (or to Elsie Ireta SUTTON or any GAUNY'S?) Regards, Karen Gauny Crisalli
