Linda, In Williamson Co., Tex. I believe my gr. uncle Thomas Monroe Jackson lived and died there. I know he was in the draft in 1918. Do you have a place where he may be buried there?

Anna; Thank you for the reponse and the information. I have done well at finding most of my ancestors graves. Robert and Martha Malone Pyle have been a problem. It would be nice to locate their graves some how. They have a little celebrity to their name, as they are the great-grandparents of the War Correspondent Ernie Pyle. Thanks again for your response.

They went to Florence with my Great-great grandparents and my great-aunt and uncle Wilson and Frances Pyle Bratton. My great-great-grandparents Robert and Martha Malone Pyle died in 1867 and are supposedly buried in Taylor, Texas.

I'm sorry, I've lost the original post, but someone was looking for info on Mack Jones who had married Gladys Dill. I asked my Grandfather, who's been in and around Williamson County since about 1910, and he said that he went to school with Gladys and with 2 of Mack's brothers. I'm sure he'd be glad to discuss it with you, just email me back off-"line" and I'll put you in contact with him. Thanks Keith

Sally, Am afraid that I don't remember ever seeing those names before but that is not saying they are not connected. I feel like all those DYCHES/DYKES families are connected, there were just a lot of children with similar names!!!! My line: Josiah Dyches and Lucinda __________, probably married in late 1790s in South Carolina. Were in St. Tammany Parish in 1819 when Josiah died. Then listed in Washington Parish in 1830. Lucinda and her children finally moved to Texas in 1830s and eventually settled in Williamson Co., Texas. William C. Dyches and Jane ____________ were probably married in late 1820s or early 1830s in Washington Parish. They moved to Texas with the rest of the family. Lavica Dyches and James Bingham were married in 1850 in Williamson Co., Texas. They lived in Williamson Co., Bell Co., Milam County with Lavica dying in Kimble Co. in 1910. She is buried in the Old Junction Cemetery. Nancy Ann Bingham married James Poey Beard in Milam County in 1882. They lived in Williamson Co. all their lives. They died in Williamson Co, and are buried in the Granger City Cemetery. Robert C. Beard married Annie Maude Bryan in Williamson Co. They also remained in Williamson Co. all their lives. Robert died in 1970. Rowena Beard married Wesley Johnson in 1937. Jackie Johnson Married Herb Morgan in 1968 in Travis Co. That's my line. Let me know if anyone recognizes a connection to their line. Sally, let me know what your line looks like. Interesting to see how the names run. Usually a lot alike.
