Hi! I'm going to list this family again. I'm looking for information concerning any of the following Evans that lived in Tarrant County,Texas between 1852-1868. Jonathan Evans 1856 James S. Evans 1859 W. R. Eaves 1873 Daniel L. Evans William Evans was in Tarrant County from 1853-1868. Any information would be appreciated. Later, JNK

To whom it may concern: iIhave just received more info concerning my missing half sibling. I say sibling because I was talking with my parents last night and found out that the baby was not born when my father was notified that "Millie" was pregnant. So it could possibly be a woman. Millie did say that she would name the baby after my father if it was a boy, so the name would be Robert or Larry Espenshade. I also have pinpointed a more accurate range of time of birth. The child would have been born in the early part of 1946, probably April or May. It is very difficult to get my parents to remember or disclose information, please be patient and thank all of you who responded to me. Sincerely, John Espenshade

This is a little before my time. I seem to recall many people refering to the plant as Convair. I believe that name came between Consolidated and General Dynamics. Or maybe that was another name for Consolidated.

Searching for the gravesite of my g/g/grandfather, Hiram Z. Webster - said to have died and buried in "Fort Worth." I shall say the Fort Worth area. The family had been in west Texas as some place called "Southland," but after a few years they sold out and moved to be near their daughter, Carrie, a nurse in Fort Worth. I believe his date of death would have been after 1915. They moved from Iowa to Texas about 1912. Hiram Zenas Webster was born in Madison County, Illinois in 1829. His wife, Mary, moved with a daughter to Dearborn where she died. There are no records of any family members having remained in Texas. I have queried two of the cemetery lists. If anybody happen to find his gravesite or spot his name in county records, I hope you'll remember my query? Thanks a lot! Dotte

When the aircraft plant opened in the 40's, it was known as Consolidated Aircraft, a.k.a., I think Air Force Plant #4. They made thousands of B-24 Liberator Bombers. It was later bought and renamed as General Dynamic, a.k.a. 'GD'. Several years ago, it was bought by Lockheed, the name it is now known. The AF Base (Carswell) is now a Joint_Reserve Base for all military services. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Chenault [mailto:DanielC@trinity.mensa.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 2:42 PM To: TXTARRAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [TXTARRAN-L] half-brother search You're right; it was Lockheed, not McDonnell-Douglas.

This water is getting a little muddy. At the time in question, there was no General Dynamics. And it was never bought by McDonnell Douglas. The Fort Worth Division WAS sold to Lockheed a few years ago, and soon became Lockheed Martin. Many bases no longer exist which did during the time in question. I would suggest a more careful examination of facts known and how they might map to the area during the '40's. ---------- From: Daniel Chenault[SMTP:DanielC@trinity.mensa.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 2:22 PM To: TXTARRAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [TXTARRAN-L] half-brother search Just so you know; there is no, never was, a "McDonnell Douglas AFB" in Ft.

I am searching for a first cousin who lived or lives in Fort Worth: Malvin Howard Two sons are Barry and Gary. They have two younger sisters, names unknown. I talked to Malvin last in 1986, and have been searching for him for almost a year. He was born abt. 1910 in Taylor County. Wife's name was Blanche (last name unknown). He is not on any Social Security list, as having died, so may be in a nursing home, etc. If you know anything about him, please respond.

Just so you know; there is no, never was, a "McDonnell Douglas AFB" in Ft. Worth. There is an airbase (now closed and used for reserve training) called Carswell Air Base. Next to this base and sharing the runway was General Dynamics. This was sold to McDonnell-Douglas a few years ago, hence the name confusion. That said, do you know anything at all beyond that he worked at General Dynamics and died on the job in the 40's? > -----Original Message----- > From: John71757@aol.com [mailto:John71757@aol.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 2:19 PM > To: TXTARRAN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [TXTARRAN-L] half-brother search > > > To Whom it may concern, > > My name is John Espenshade.

I have the following book. Black and Conservative: The Autobiography of George S. Schuyler. Schuyler was husband of Josephine Cogdell of Ft Worth, and father of Phillipa Schuyler. Interesting and dynamic man who embraced the John Birch Society. Written in 1966. Contact me if interested. cmalinda hickey

To Whom it may concern, My name is John Espenshade. I live in PA. I have a half brother who was born in the Fort Worth area in the mid 40's. Probably 1944. I don't know his mother's full name. I do know that her husband died shortly before my father knew her. Her husband was killed working at McDonnell Douglas AFB. I thought that if I could find his obituary, I could find her name and be closer to finding my brother. I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this request, but am willing to try anything. Thank you for any responses. Sincerely, John Espenshade john71757@aol.com

Hello Everyone, I am a newcomer to this list. After over 5 years of actively searching for my paternal grandfather I received his death certificate yesterday. He died in 1957 of tuberculosis @ the ELMWOOD SANITORIUM. I was told that it is not in existence anymore. Does anyone out there know about this sanitorium? If so, was it strictly for TB patients or was it a nursing home of sorts? Would appreciate any information someone might have. Thanks so much!!! Terri Knight Arlington Hts, IL

Hi List, A while back I had wrote to rootsweb asking that they setup a page for volunteer donations. I have had people do a lookup or take photos, or do something for me that had to cost them. When I try to pay them, they refuse it. I suggested that a page be setup that will show donations made in the volunteers name. This will give the volunteer recognition for their good deeds, the recipient of the deeds gets to show their appreciation by making a donation in the volunteers name, and rootsweb gets funds to help them continue helping us. I feel this will work for everyone. Thanks, Gene Grady nks, Gene Grady
