    1. [TXSSABA] Langham family
    2. Dear Carlette, and the San Saba List You recently posted a note asking for information on the Fannie Langham family. Now that I am back from a recent trip, I had a chance to check some of the reference books I have for San Saba, and I found some information I hope will help a little: In the marriage index I found: R. M. LANGHAM married Fannie LONG on November 27, 1892. (Thus this 'Fannie Long' became a 'Fannie Langham' in 1892) Then, in the essay book "San Saba County History 1856 - 1983" there is a mention of the above folks, further described as R(obert) M(atthew) LANGHAM (1870-1906) and Martha Frances (Fanny) LONG (1871-1958); she was a daughter of Francis Hatton LONG and Mary Jane CORNUTT. Although they apparently had nine children, none of them was named 'Ruby' or 'Benjamin Walker'. Their names, according to the book, were: Marcus Ellis Langham; Myrtle Frances; Robert Franklin; Benjamin Arnold; Forrest Long Langham; Paul Peter; Mary Elva; Thelma Elizabeth; and Robert Matthew. The first two children were born in San Saba, after which the family moved somewhere near Maryneal, Texas. She returned (as a widow) to San Saba sometime after 1906 and remained there until her death in 1958 when she was buried alongside her husband at Decker Cemetery in Maryneal. There was also a FANNIE LANHAM in the area at the same time, not be confused with FANNY LANGHAM...... Hope this helps! Karen Gauny Crisalli
