Subject: TXGENWEB: Palo Pinto CO County of the Month
From: [email protected]
I am pleased to announce that Palo Pinto County has been selected
as TXGenWeb County of the Month for May 1997. Sue Seibert has done a
wonderful job of providing genealogical information about this
county. Her listing on upcoming Family Reunions in the county
demonstrates her involvement with the local Palo Pinto residents. She
has also implemented surname query index for her county. Plus lots
and lots of other genealogy info which a county visitor would like to
have.
Take a look at the Palo Pinto page and see if you can pick up some
ideas for your page.
And thanks to the County of the Month Nomination Committee headed by
Dana Thomas for their input on this selection.

Genealogy Poem
Ain't this the truth !!
I started out calmly, tracing my tree,
To find if I could find the makings of me.
And all that I had was Great-grandfather's name,
not knowing his wife or from where he came.
I chased him across a long line of states,
And came up with pages and pages of dates.
When all put together, it made me forlorn,
Proved poor Great-grandpa had never been born.
One day I was sure the truth I had found,
Determined to turn this whole thing upside down.
I looked up the record of one Uncle John,
But then I found the old man to be younger than his son.
Then when my hopes were fast growing dim,
I came across records that must have been him.
The facts I collected made me quite sad,
Dear old Great grandfather was never a Dad.
I think someone is pulling my leg,
I am not at all sure I wasn't hatched from an egg.
After hundreds of dollars I've spent on my tree,
I can't help but wonder if I'm really me..

Subject: Texas Rangers -- a little more
The Texas Rangers were organized about 1823, primarily (I think)
to defend Stephen F. Austin's colonists from indian attacks. In 1836
they became the Republic of Texas' main law enforcement unit and
continued after 1845 for the State of Texas. They functioned mostly
as a "home guard" unit during the War Between the States, again as
indian fighters I believe.
BUT there was also a cavalry unit (regiment?) known as Terry's
Texas Rangers. I do not know whether this was a CSA unit or a State
of Texas unit but I think they fought with the Army of Northern
Tennessee. There were also at least two groups from Texas known as
"Partisan Rangers."
To confuse matters a bit more, individual companies were
identified by a letter, Co. A, Co. B, etc. but they also had names.
"Lone Star" appears often as in "Lone Star Rifles" as do names of
counties and towns. I would be surprised if no one of these companies
was called the "Texas Rangers."
CSA service records are keep in the National Archives for an
ineresting reason. At the end of the war, they were collected to help
screen out Confederates who might apply for a pension. However, few
state records are there.
A good place to check is the Civil War Center at LSU. Their web
site is http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/index.htm.

Inf.
The Georgia Department of Archives in Atlanta have a copy of the
muster roll of Company "A", 1st Georgia Vol. Infantry, dated 1862,
including accounts of two of the many engagements participated in by
this unit. The record was written in 1909 not long before the death
of former Confederate Lt. Lavender Robinson Ray.
The records were part of a large amount of material donated by mr.
Ray. He served in the same regiment with my great uncle, Lt. George
Michael Robertson. They were related.
Lavender R. Ray was not only a lawyer and Judge but was actively
involved in the reconstruction of Atlanta and Newnan, GA. He is
related to the A.D. ADAIR line who lived in Atlanta and are buried in
Oakwood Cemetery.
Another part of this treasure trove are the news clippings and
correspondence relating to Wheeler Cavalry reunions, 1899-1900,
including one letter to Theodore Roosevelt concerning the memorial.
It also includes the words and music to "Wheeler's

Subject: VAUGHN, BLUE families
I would like to pass along a request from a friend who is a
non-subscriber. I'm sorry if it's a little long, but I didn't want to
shorten it too much, thereby leaving out something that might trigger
a thought from someone.
I am seeking information on the family of my grandfather, Richard
VAUGHN, who evidently died in the late 1890's. I have no information
on his birthdate/ location, marriage date, or death date/location. I
have very little to go on in tracing Richard Vaughn except what was
listed on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Michigan census records for the
family of Malcolm BLUE.
My father's birth records are equally poor. My father, John R.
VAUGHN, was born on September 18, 1894 (1895?) and consistently
listed Tacoma, Washington in documents as his birthplace, however, I
have not been able to obtain any records from the public agencies in
that area. My father left Washington sometime before 1900 and moved
in with his grandparents in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The 1900
census indicates that he was living with the Blue family in Hancock,
MI.
Sometime in the 1900's the Blue family moved to Detroit. The 1910
and 1920 census records show John Vaughn and his mother Anna Vaughn
living with Malcolm Blue.
In summary, I would like to find:
-Birth records for John VAUGHN or his father, Richard VAUGHN
-Marriage record of Richard VAUGHN and ANNA BLUE
-Death record of Richard VAUGHN
-Census records for Richard VAUGHN

you mentioned. It is mainly about early settlers in these areas and
what he and his friends could put together. Volume 2 is 200+ pages
and I believe Volume 1 was about the same size.
I did not find much on the people you're researching
Bowden: An infant Bruce Bowden is buried in Bosley cemetary,
was the son of Bruce & Juanita Bowden. Cain: Joseph Dennis
Cook married Merian Cain, they had one daughter named Merian
Cain Cook. Eleanor Cook (b 1931 Johnson Co) married Calwinn Cain I
dont think I would be a good resource, as I know nothing about the
areas.

Subject: Daves
From: william cal daves
[email protected]
I would like to make a correction in your County History.
The name Davies you have listed as settling north of Gordon on Palo
Pinto Creek should be spelled DAVES and the date they settled should
be 1856. I know they are listed in the 1860 Census as Davis but that
was incorrect. My Great-Great Grandmother was Rebecca Ann Vermillion
Daves, she settled in Palo Pinto County in 1856 with her family,
William Harrison Daves (My Great Grandfather), James Loving Daves,
and other children. William Harrison moved to Bosque County in 1869,
near Iredell. James Loving Daves stayed and donated land for the
cemetery at Santo, helped estabilish the First Baptist Church at
Santo. He is buried in the Santo Cementery.
I almost hate to do this, but one more correction, I believe the
name Reasomers should be REASNOR, I am related to those folks as
well.

I happen to be looking for the MORTON surname in Texas-- not sure
which county. When I saw "Morton" listed in the USGen web project
under Cochran County, I thought I should check it out. The Mortons I
am looking were born in Tennessee (around 1860s) and ended up in
Oklahoma (early 1900s). If any of this strikes a bell, please let me
know! Thanks.

My grandfather, William A. SPENCER, alias Champ

stated that he was a member of the PALO PINTO COUNTY RANGERS,
1873-1874. Is there any information out there specifically about PALO
PINTO COUNTY RANGERS? W. C. McADAMS was the commanding officer.
SPENCER/MEANS states that he served with Wash HULLUM, Joe
SCHOOLCRAFT, William J. HALE, Jim OWENS, Matthew LAMBERTH, and Long
Billy NICHOLS. He knew John POLLARD, Sam and Bill WARD, John (Bud)
MATTHEWS, and Bill DOGGETT. He said that he worked on the Narborough
(not sure about the spelling) Ranch, 15 or 20 miles from CISCO,
Texas. He worked on the HITTSON Ranch. Where was that? He was also in
THROCKMORTON County at the Old Stone Ranch where he worked for Martin
HOOVER. He also lived in Strawn, EASTLAND County. All of this took
place around 1869-1876 before he went to DENTON County and married.
From there he moved to Grandbury, HOOD County until 1884 when he
returned to PALO PINTO County. He lived there until 1889.
He was known as CHAMP MEANS from 1869 to 1876, but when he
returned to PALO PINTO County he went by his real name, William A.
SPENCER or Bill Spencer.

Ballinderry. She was the daughter of Samuel Morton and Mary
PILLAR. He was a linen weaver and ship captain.
John Patterson, born November 30,1779 in Belfast. He went to sea
in 1794 and ended up in Grayson County, Kentucky, USA. He became a
U.S. citizen in 1804. He married Rebecca Troutman of Maryland,
USA.

Subject: Blevins-Hembree family
I would like to contact other people working on the BLEVINS and
HEMBREE lines of Missouri and Arkansas. Does anyone know where I can
get a book on the Blevins family? I was told a lady in Okla wrote a
book, but my letter was returned. I am currently writting a family
history on the Hembree family for the Stone Co. Mo. History Book #3.
The line I am working on is William Allen b. 1868 Mo. married Lillie
Logan b. 1872 Mo. She was the dau of Benjamin D. Logan. Wm Allen
Hembree had a son John Hembree who marr Wilma Lilly Faucett b. 1914
Taney county, Mo. She was the dau of John Henry Faucett and Susie
Compton. The BLEVINS line is from Squire Blevins who lived in Carroll
county and Boone county Ark. near Omaha and Long Creek. He had a son
named Jackson Blevins who marr Sarah Susannah Youngblood. Jackson was
born 1836 Ark.
