We are searching for any references to the following families: 1) Eugene C. Smith; 2) Luke Smith; 3) I.W. Smith; 4) Vera Smith; 5) Valcie Smith; 6) Pauline Smith. These are children of John Smith and Fannie Hatfield. John Smith was from Fort Worth, TX; Fannie Hatfield was from Arkansas (b. 1857). Children were all presumably born in Fort Worth, TX.

Looking for Madison Moultrie Miller b. 14 Mar 1813; Clark Co.,GA. Married Caroline Isabella McClesky b. 23 Dec 1815; Jackson Co., GA. They married 3 or 8 Aug 1837; Jackson Co., GA.

Hi to all, I am new to the list and I am researching the JOHNSON surname in Tarrant County. Jeremiah Johnson was listed on the 1850 Houston Co. Tx census with wife Virginia A Parker and daughter Nancy 6 months. In 1855 he and Martha Elizabeth Reed (2nd wife) had daughter Mary Josephine Johnson born in Tarrant Co. They are listed on the 1860 Parker County Census. He is listed as being on the 1867 voters list of Tarrant county as a resident for 2 years. They were also there in 1873 for 2nd child JS Jr, and 1875 3rd child Tobias. They are listed on the 1870 Fort Worth Tarrant County census. Is anyone researching this family? Jeremiah Jr. m. Sarah Oddell NALL possibly in Tarrant Co or Eastland where the family settled. I need to know if Jeremiah and Martha were married in Tarrant Co. and what date. I also need to know if Jeremiah divorced his first wife or if she died, since daughter Nancy was with him on all the census.

Hi folks, I have always had good luck in the past emailing the genealogy desk at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Their email address is: geninfo@tsl.state.tx.us But for some reason they have been silent the past two weeks. Usually I get a response within three days, but I sent them a query two weeks ago with no response, and then a second request last week, only to hear nothing back from them. I have always honored their request for just one request a week, so I don't think they are mad at me. Does anyone know why they are not responding? Surely their work load has not increased that much? Any help would be most appreciated. Take care, Robert -- \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) ------- oOOo-(_)-oOOo--------------- Robert L.

I an looking for information on James HENDERSON who resided in Tarrant co from 1859 to ca 1868. I believe he lived in the southeast part of Tarrant co near Mansfield. His land was part of the Israel Earls survey (if anyone knows where it was located I would like the information). I believe he died in Tarrant Co, but I have been unable to locate his grave. He was married to an ELizabeth (who I also believe was buried in Tarrant co). They had a daughter, Martha and a son, Richard Thomas. Margaret

My husbands father was b. about 1900 in Texas. Name is John Otho Clark. He married Alta Willingham in OK around 1921. We are sure he is dead by now but we would like to find out when and where that was. Last seen by my husband in El Paso, TX. in 1957. Nothing since. Johns mothers name was Belle but we don't know the fathers name. Contact bclark@theriver.com if you have any info. Betty

> wasn't that Cynthia Parker, daughter of Silas Parker? Yes, I believe he was. It was Isaac Parker, her uncle with whom she lived after being re-captured. She was brought to Birdville to live with him. She was the wife of Comanche Chief Nocona and mother of Quannah Parker. After her 'freedom' she was brought into Ft. Worth, to a store of general merchandise and just sat in a chair, terribly homesick, while citizens of the town came by to look at her. It was not an act of cruelty in intent, it was just that she was a curiosity.

Cynthia Ann Parker was the daughter of Silas & Lucy Parker. She was captured by the Comanche and was the mother of Quanah Parker. This story is told in the book "To Ride The Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson." I have the book if you need any more information, just let me know. It names some of her other relatives, Grandfather John Parker, her cousin Rachel Plummer, etc. Hope this helps. Janis

Hi folks! I have some questions about obituaries in the north Texas area. Allow me to ramble for a second. After waiting 2 1/2 weeks, my interlibrary loaned microfilm came in. It was for the November 1966 issues of the Ft Worth Star-Telegram newspaper. Anxiously I scanned the pages, only to be let down. My g-grandma's obituary wasn't listed! She died 11 Nov 1966 in Mansfield, Tarrant County, TX. I can't figure out why she wasn't listed, though. Did Mansfield have it's own newspaper back then? She died 6 AM on Friday the 11th. I checked that day's paper and the paper for Saturday the 12th. No obit. There was no paper on Sunday the 13th, and I checked the paper for Monday the 14th. Still no obit. How long of a delay could reasonably be expected between death and a posting in the paper? Should I try the remainder of the week? I didn't see any other notices that long delayed. I noticed the Star-Telegram at that time did not call them "Obituaries", they were called "Death Notices", and were listed at the begining of the classifieds. Now g-grandma had spent her last days in the Mansfield Nursing Home. Her death certificate says she lived in Mansfield for 11 years prior to her death. Before that she had lived in Milford, Ellis County, TX for 50 years. She was removed for burial down there in the Milford City Cemetery. Does anybody know what the name of the paper was in Ellis county back in 1966? Would the Texas State Library have back issues of those on microfilm too? Lots of questions, I know, but maybe somebody with long experience with the newspapers in that area can give me some advice.

Hello again, More on the new TXGenWeb Project: "Texas Landmarks and Vanished Communities." Answers to FAQ: What Is The Objective Of The Texas Landmark Project: The objective of the landmark and vanished communities web pages is to highlight and give focus to the geographical locations of historical landmarks and communities. The prime focus is the actual location on a map. The prime vehicle for accomplishing this is the US Census TIGER map System. Submitters should include a brief description of the feature and may also include a link to another web page for more detailed information. What is Texas Landmark Project Motto? "If grandpa talked or wrote about it then it should be listed in the Texas Landmarks and Vanished Communities Index." What Land Marks Should Be Included? River bends, Valleys, grist mills, cotton gins, river crossings, bridges ferries, battles, hangings, cemeteries, churches, schools, colleges, pioneer ranches and farms, communities, blacksmith shops, stage stands, forts, hills, mountains, homesteads, trading posts, oil camps, ice works, bottling works,etc,etc. This includes information on who various landmarks such as as valleys, rivers and creeks were named after. What Are Some Consideration Concerning Names Of Llandmarks? River bends and Crossings: The USGS map makers only have the option of placing one name for a feature on their map. They use what they deemed the most generally used name. Consider the names of river bends - we have a number of them in Hood County. Most of the bends went by several names in the 1880's. The names of prominent landowners were usually used but there usually were several prominent land owners in the bend, hence several names. The maps today name one Brazos river bend, Walters Bend but you will find historical documents that call it Chicken Gristle Bend as well as Chicken Bristle bend. Our local historian says "the feature names on maps are nothing but gossip and the map maker only talked to a few gossips." People on one side of the river called river crossings by one name where people on the other side gave it another name. Some river bends on USGS maps do not have a name at all but the locals have a name for it. We want to preserve all of these names. Naming variations are also common for other type features as well. To Whom Do These TxGenWeb Texas Landmark Project County Web Pages Belong.?? They belong to the TxGenWeb county coordinator and other county researchers, Genealogical and Historical organizations who submit landmark data. The Moderator, Wayne Moyers and General Administrator, Frank Saffarrans are the caretakers with the main task of providing continuity. What Do You Mean By "Belongs To"? Each landmark submitted is "branded" in the submitters column with the name and address of the individual or organization that submitted the data. In a sense if you "brand" it then it belongs to you and therefore you "own" a piece of Texas. Remember Maverick? - Or is it like the homestead law? This "branded" business is just a game to give credit to those deserving people and organizations that submit data. You may find your county listed in the Landmark & Vanished Communities Index at: http://www.hcnews.com/~landmark. TxGenWeb County Coordinators, Genealogical Societies, Historical Societies and individual researchers are encouraged to submit landmark data on those places they are familiar with. With your help the Texas landmark Page will soon be a valuable Texas data source for genealogical and historical researchers world wide. How to Submit data: Do you have some landmark information but don't remember how to use latitude and longitude or don't remember how to determine Latitude and longitude? Check out our Map Blast Instructions at: http://www.hcnews.com/~landmark/mapblast.htm Or Tiger Map Service at: http://www.hcnews.com/~landmark/tiger.htm What is coming up next? We will be adding a web page where you may post queries on Vanished Communities and Landmarks. If you have a landmark with an unknown location you may post a query here and maybe someone will see it and give us the correct location. To those organizations and individuals who are presently submitting landmark data - WE THANK YOU, Keep up the good work!!!. Frank Saffarrans General Coordinator TxGenWeb Landmark and Vanished Community Project
