Thanks so much for contacting me. The only surname I would be searching for at this time is Ledbetter and I found Washington Ledbetter listed in the cemetery index on Littig. My ggrandfather's parents are my brick wall in researching my Ledbetter ancestry. My ggrandfather William Henry Ledbetter, wife Jennettie Francis Bomar Ledbetter, (her name is spelled several ways on census but this is the correct spelling. Wm Henry's parents are not shown on any documentation we can find and I have his will, dth cert and a lot of other documentation. . I started the research in 1998. I would love to have anything available on Washington and any other Ledbetters near Austin in the 1840-1850's. I will check the internet for sites on Littig, TX and see if I can find the cemetery records on Washington, and then go to my regular genealogy sites to researach him further. A questionaire that two of Wm Henry's children, Carrie Zenith Ledbetter ("Zenith") and John Watson Ledbetter filled out for the publication of a book on the Ledbetters in the 1930's stated that my ggrandfather William Henry Ledbetter's parents first names were unknown to the family but it was believed his mother's maiden name was Craig, from Mississippi and his father died shortly after Wm Henry was born 12/5/1843 near Austin, Texas. What "shortly after 1843" entails could be about anything, of course. Wm Henry came to TX in 1857 (at 14 yrs old) but I'm not sure where he lived until he showed up on the 1860 Lamar County, Texas census. He enrolled for the Civil War in Lamar County, TX 9/28/1861 and he is in the Rusk County, TX 1860 census. He lived in San Saba, TX from the end of the Civil War (in which he served) until he died in 1918. Thanks so much for contacting me.
