Could you share more about Caldonia Best or the Best branch of your family? Both my grandparents were from Tyler County. My grandfather was James Britton Best and my grandmother was Mattie Leigh Richardson. My great-uncle, Jack Best, still lives in Woodville. I haven't had any luck finding history on the Bests. My e-mail address is: Nnearb@aol.com I'd appreciate any information you could give me.
Mr. Armistead, What a small world! Yes, all us Jasper County Pickles are one big happy family. Tinks Pickle was my dad's (Seborn) youngest brother. (I'm copying this email to his kids who will be thrilled to know we've made contact, I'm sure!) We really miss Uncle Tinks and Aunt Vada, but are very close to their four children and their families. All us Pickle cousins are pretty thick, even though we don't get to see each other as often as we like. I'm continuously amazed at what family searching brings forth, especially on the internet. I've met some very special people who I would never have been in touch with had we not done family history searching!! About your Rawls family, I asked my brother-in-law, Delton Parker, who was raised in the Harrisburg community where Ralph and Velma Rawls lived and he thought it would be okay for me to tell you to contact their daughter, Jeanette Rawls Carlton, who lives in Colmesniel, TX. Do you know Jeanette? She's a sweet lady and a good friend of my brother and sister. I don't know her phone number, but I'm sure it's in information for Colmesneil or Woodville. I believe that would be area code 409. Got to go, but please keep in touch and let me know how your Rawls research progresses. Nan Pickle

Could anyone fill me in on the mystery of the missing tombstones of James J Rawls and Rachel Greenwood. I would say they were born around 1830s.So I guess they were dead by 1900. All I know is that their markers wre faound recently in Granbury,Tx in an empty house. I would like to know more for our records. They were my wife's ggrandparents (Carolyn Wilson Armistead) Any help to solve this would be appreciated. The constable in Granbury said the markers were picked up by a family member and returned to cemetary. Sam E. Armistead

Where he was before 1852, I am not yet sure. He reports to have been born in Georgia... I plan on visiting the area later this year. Maybe I can find something at the courthouse...

Surnames: SMITH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DAC.2ACI/528.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes, I finally had run across that census record myself... Apparently the census taker didn't want to write to much because he seemed to prefer initials over full names. I eventually found that Martha Susan SMITH's parents were Jeptha Lewis SMITH and Martha Louella WATSON. Martha WATSON's parents were Dempsey WATSON and Mary DAVIS(?). I am still searching for more information on Jeptha. His widow filed for a confederate pension which was denied because she didn't know what company and regiment her husband fought for. She thought he was a member of the cavalry in Walker's division and Sibley's brigade. Family history says that just prior to his regiment's release in October of 1864, Jeptha had become very ill. He was told to set out himself towards home and to go as far as he could in his condition and that the other company members would be along in a few days. He travelled on to a settlement where a farmer took him in for the night but Jeptha passed away and the far! mer buried him there. The farmer placed several of Jeptha's items on the gate - his hat, saddle, and so forth. When the company came by, they recognized the belongings and found out about Jeptha's dying from the farmer. I know it's going to be a chore trying to track a family name like Smith, but I figure that by the time I take all the J and JL Smiths in Texas regiments and compare that to companies mustered near Rusk County in 1861 and companies that were members of the aforementioned division and brigade, I might have a fairly short list of candidates for Jeptha. Then its a matter of checking those service records and trying to find some indication that I have found the right person. (I know, for Confederate records, its a shot in the dark!) Anyway, it will require a trip to DC because I sure am not paying for guesses at service records...
