I have a list of the births that were registered between 1838 and 1878 although this was still an optional listing by parents. Also there might be a delayed birth certificate if the uncle filed for social security benefits. Have you checked that? Kay

Hall aka William or Billy Hall who was a deputy sheriff in Collin County killed while on a posse. It was written about in 2 books "Murder at the Corners" by Ray and "Collin County: Pioneering in North Texas" by Hall. It had something to do with the Lee-Peacock feud. I am trying to get his name on the national, state, and local memorials for officers killed in the line of duty and I need the obit. with the date of death, banner and date of the newspaper.There are no records in Collin County. I understand that the University has many old newspapers as the above authors did their research there. I live in the east so I can't do it. I would really appreciate this. Thanks and I'm hoping I hear from someone.

Theora "Cat" Bonner (nee: Powell) is not listed on the 1930 Census with her husband, Howard, and his family. Does anyone have access to the TX death index to do a look up. She was the daughter of Lee and Lue Powell. Any help would be appreciated. Vanessa

His wife, Ann A. "Addie" Downs,was born 27 April 1825 in Laurens Co. SC. She was the daughter of Samuel Downs and Elizabeth L. Jones of Laurens Co., SC. This couples marriage is listed as "DOWNS Adalade, HILL William 19 Nov 1844 Laurens Co. SC" in South Carolina Marriages A-F.

Hill and his brother in law Thomas J. Downs served with the 18th Battalion Mississippi Cavalry, Company H "Peach Creek Rangers" during the civil war out of DeSoto Co., MS.

They are found in the 1880 Census of Travis Co., TX living in the eastern rural area of Travis county. Both families are buried in the Hunter Cemetery of Travis Co. south of the Hornsby Bend area.

Your survey seems to mention some stones that we either missed or were unable to read (we are still kicking ourselves for forgetting the chalk). Also some may have gone by the time we got to it - you mention two BRATTON stones inside the iron fence and we only saw one there. I have put a link to your message board post on my web page. It's always good to have more than one source and be able to compare notes. Roxy Triebel

Surnames: Turner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CAC.2ACI/404 Message Board Post: My great-great-grandfather came to Austin, Travis Co, TX from Saline, Miller Co MO with his wife, Martha Harrison Turner and his youngest son, James Clyde Turner who later became a Texas Ranger. This shows up in the1870 or 1880 Census. We heard that he may have attended law school and maybe became a judge of some sort here. Was UT Austin law school taking students? What sort of judge would he have been? Did he hold an elected office? I also heard that he might have remarried here. We think he may have been a Blue Mason. The family would have been Baptist and in Austin, Travis Co, TX ,the trail goes cold! Someone told me he might be buried in the State Cemetery but I don't think he was a Confederate War veteran or any other kind of veteran and I don't know that he was elected to any public office. He would have been about 45 when he came to Texas. He was born in about 1825. If anyone has any information on any attorneys or judges from that time, please advise. There is the possibility he remarried and we have relatives surnamed Turner right here in Austin that we know nothing about. Thank you for any assistance in this matter!
