Do you have death records from 1866? I had heard that they didn't go back that far. In any case, would you look up the following people who resided in Tyler County from 1850 forward? William T. HOLLAND died in 1866 in Tyler County (need death date/record..haven't found their marriage record) wife: Susan A. "unknown" (need her last name desperately!) children: Council O. (C.O.) Holland need marriages (married 2 Mary's) Benjamin N.(b. abt. 1862, died betw. 1870-1880) need birth and death record Mary (b. abt. 1863, died betw. 1870-1880) need birth and death record Mitchel Gilbert (need to check for record of marriage to Artie Wright) William T. jr (need marriage record to "Lula?") Susan A. Holland remarried J.W. Davis in 1880...have date but need more information from the record if you have access... Your records may not go back that far, but I thought it couldn't hurt to check! Thanks in advance! You are so kind! Michelle Holland michelleh@ev1.net
