Hi Sharon, Thanks for posting this site!!!! Not only did I locate several Confederate pension records, but the wealth of information on this site is amazing. For those who haven't yet checked the Texas State Library online, I urge you to do so. The archives is extensive and photocopy prices are nominal.

Is there anyone on this list who could look at a Texas Confederate pension record for me? There is a widow's pension submitted by Mary J. TANKERSLEY for her husband LARKIN ANDREW TANKERSLEY #41957. I do not want a copy of this record but would like the information from it - such as her maiden name, marriage date/place, his unit in Hood Co., and when/where he died. I see that she was living in El Paso at time pension application was submitted. Was she re-married? Thanks Jackie

Mark, Don't believe that a copy of the census page can be sent to you on this list. You can take the information I am sending and go to a library that has the census on microfilm and get a copy. 1920 Precinct 3, Travis Co., Texas Enumiration District 91 Page 8B London, Arene age Female White 13 Single Her and parents born in Texas Just because she was in the institution does not mean she was too feble minded. She did attend school.

I am not sure if I have talked to you before, but if I did I believe it was a while back. Garner married Elizabeth Jackson and she was born in Amelia, Virginia in 1785. They were married in Knox Co., Tennessee on June 6, 1808 and some time in the early 1800's moved to Williamson co., Franklin, Tennessee. In and around 1836 Garner loaded his family up and moved to Double Bayou, Texas. This was at that time Liberty Co., Texas, but it is now Chambers County, Texas. This is positioned between Houston and Beaumont Texas on the coast. Have you ever heard of this crew? I would love to figure out who my Garner Mayes' mother and father are,,,,Let me hear from you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Virginia My Garner did also at times pop up Maze,,,,,,,,,,,I found where he was listed in Austin, Texas, Travis Co., Maze/Mayes and he owned 640 acres 7 miles south of the middle of Austin, Texas. His land was the land adjoining Thomas McKinney's Ranch, also known as McKinney State Park. But McKinney's land is from Sidney Sherman in a land grant and the other land was surrounded by men that fought around the Alamo, but Garner wasn't suppose to have come to Texas from Tennessee until about 1836, well he obviously was here before then to get prime Texas land by the State Capitol. Garner's wife was a Jackson and the Jackson family was kin to the Moore family. These Moores show up in Davidson Co., Tennessee and this set of Jackson's go back to Ballybay, Ireland and were in the linen business. I have been trying to pull my Jackson line and this Jackson line together, because there is a Jackson family that came around the same time as the Mayes crew to Double Bayou from Nashville through New Orleans and I bet we are kin,,,,,,,,,,,both ranching families and have traded land and favors and have been buddies since the early 1800's.....Also the Mayes family here, my family, was suppose to be kin to Thomas Jefferson,,,,,could we be in?????????????????? Let me hear from you,,,,,,,,,,Virginia .. Forks of the Cypress No. 1 O.K. look at this. This is the exact set of Jacksons that are here with us. My Garner married Elizabeth Jackson and they were married in Knoxville, Tennessee in June of 1808. When Garner and Elizabeth left Tennessee they were suppose to have traveled on a flat boat and landed in Double Bayou, Texas and were suppose to be no kin to the Jacksons in Double....I don't believe it!!!!! The Jacksons that we are not suppose to be kin to were suppose to have come from Ireland to St.Landry Parish and Vermillion Parish, Louisiana. Well, I have found the not-kin Jacksons in Davidson County, Tennessee in the Davidson Co., Tennessee Wills and Inventories-Volume two-1816-1830, good book. There is a pile of Moore's in this book. In this website I sent you Moores marry Jacksons. And I have found who I believe to either be Garner's sisters or aunts and , one of them marrys a Childress,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oh and Garner and Elizabeth brought a black woman to Texas named Martha Mayes and she married a Zacariah Godfrey. Well, what do you think????????????????Virginia Well, I do not know about Mexican blood, but if you go back in Virginia far enough there was Indian slaves and Samuel Mayes married Nancy Adair and she was Indian and they moved to Mayes Co., Oklahoma. And they started the Indian Mayes group there. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Virginia researching MOOR,MORE,MOORE,MAYS,MAYES, TOWNSLEY,WHITEACRE,WHITEAKER, WHITAKER,REECE,STAMPER.NORTH,PECK, GRUBBS,GRAY.these last 2 are in KNOX Co.TN.note some above names are other researchers. my webpage http://tippytnn.topcities.com/moore/moore.htm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail

Let me hear from you,,,,,,,,,,Virginia .. Forks of the Cypress No. 1 O.K. look at this. This is the exact set of Jacksons that are here with us. My Garner married Elizabeth Jackson and they were married in Knoxville, Tennessee in June of 1808. When Garner and Elizabeth left Tennessee they were suppose to have traveled on a flat boat and landed in Double Bayou, Texas and were suppose to be no kin to the Jacksons in Double....I don't believe it!!!!! The Jacksons that we are not suppose to be kin to were suppose to have come from Ireland to St.Landry Parish and Vermillion Parish, Louisiana. Well, I have found the not-kin Jacksons in Davidson County, Tennessee in the Davidson Co., Tennessee Wills and Inventories-Volume two-1816-1830, good book. There is a pile of Moore's in this book. In this website I sent you Moores marry Jacksons. And I have found who I believe to either be Garner's sisters or aunts and , one of them marrys a Childress,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oh and Garner and Elizabeth brought a black woman to Texas named Martha Mayes and she married a Zacariah Godfrey. Well, what do you think????????????????Virginia Well, I do not know about Mexican blood, but if you go back in Virginia far enough there was Indian slaves and Samuel Mayes married Nancy Adair and she was Indian and they moved to Mayes Co., Oklahoma. And they started the Indian Mayes group there. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Virginia researching MOOR,MORE,MOORE,MAYS,MAYES, TOWNSLEY,WHITEACRE,WHITEAKER, WHITAKER,REECE,STAMPER.NORTH,PECK, GRUBBS,GRAY.these last 2 are in KNOX Co.TN.note some above names are other researchers. my webpage http://tippytnn.topcities.com/moore/moore.htm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail

Hi, I am searching for Annie Lewis who was born in TX, not sure if it was in Travis or the next county over. She married William "Bill" Williams (born in NC) in TX in 1883. I found them on the 1900 Travis County census. (William died in 1925 and she remarried to a Lacy.) Annie's father is John Lewis and mother was Kathryn E. Reese, according to a great aunt. But I haven't been able to find them to verify. Any help would be appreciated if those surnames seem familiar to your Lewis line. Thanks, Patty Riley in CA surnames Riley, Williams, Lewis, Hines, Harris, Smith, Hallett, Henson, Conard

Dear Listmembers, The old German newspaper "Ostfriesische Nachrichten" was published by Pastor L. Hündling [Huendling} in 1882 in Iowa as a connecting paper between the people in the new American settlements and the old homeland with news and events in Ostfriesland and the "New World". Later you could find this newspaper all over the U.S. and Ostfriesland. For the period between 1882 and 1915 the issues were microfilmed around 20 - 30 years ago. According to a descendant of Pastor Huendling about 10 years ago, most of the issues between 1916 and 1971 got lost on the way to a processing center to be microfilmed. Besides Rev. Kenneth DeWall and others, who published in the past some indexes of (only) obituaries, we started in 1997 reading each newspaper for 1882 - 1915 and 1916 - 1971 (single issues) from the front to the back and taking all of the personal data in obituaries and local news into computer files. We added also interesting stories about the events in the New World - especially for the German readers -. So far we have listed 10,300 names of deceased between 1882 and 1915 plus 12,300 names of relatives, and until 1971 only 2,000 deceased / 5,000 relatives. Now we are looking for issues of this newspaper between 1916 and 1971. The undersigned would appreciate your answer if you have access to those issues. We have the microfilms from Crest Information Technologies and Heritage Crest, both in Cedar Rapids, IA. Most of the single issues after 1916 are scattered all over the U.S. and Germany. We guess, maybe finding them in the attics, etc. of old East Frisian settlements in the States. Thank you very much in advance for your help in preserving the data. Sincerely, Hans-Georg Boyken Ostfriesland-Society of Iowa, Inc. frisian@netins.net

Dear List Members, I just ran across an interesting Website, "Courthouse Experiences" http://www.bcpl.net/~dmg/courthouse.htm Not every county is listed, but the ones listed gave helpful information regarding the attitudes of those working in the courthouses. I might suggest that if you have had a positive or negative courthouse experience you add them to this site. I now know how to prepare myself for several courthouses I want to visit later this year.

Can't find him on the 1870, 1880 Census. Who were his parents? Did he have sibs? Found a white Dr. Alsey Clements in Bibb and Tuscaloosa Counties AL. on various Census' prior to the Civil War. He owned slaves. Since mother of Alcy was shown to have been born in AL (see 1910 Census abstract above) and that he was mistakenly listed as a white man by a census taker (see 1920 Census abstract above) that this Dr. might possible be related - possible even the father. Can't find a definite connection though.
