Maryn Goodson Thu, 9 Apr 1998 14:47:22
Hello, My husband and I are researching his g-grandfather, Robert/Joseph GOODSON, who married a Martha KUYKENDALL in Hunt CO in 1874. Their only son, William Leonard GOODSON, was born in 1876. Martha apparently died soon after. Leonard's obituary and family lore agree on Leonard TX as his birthplace. However, another document from 1919 shows a different birthplace C(illegible) Hills. Robert/Joseph returned to Indian Territory as soon as Wm. Leonard was old enough for him to care for. Leonard died in McAlester, OK, in 1966.
According to the family lore, Robert/Joseph killed a black colonel (?) during Reconstruction. Although he was young, between 12 and 16, he ran to Indian Territory to hide. We don't know which Texas county he was living in at the time of the shooting, although it was referred to as South Texas. we are pretty sure that Fannin County is too far north to be the location of this event.
We are sure that he used the name Robert in IT and Joseph in TX. It is possible that both are aliases perhaps the GOODSON surname was also not the original. Some family members think that the original surname was BURLESON.
We are trying to find any info we can on this little family and hope that we might find something in Fannin County. We drove through Leonard a couple of weeks ago and noticed the reference to Wildcat Thicket on the town square's marker. We thought that perhaps R/J hid out there as well as Indian Territory. Perhaps he met Martha during this period.
Can you point us to a source that might include stories or some sort of history of "Wildcat Thicket"? Is there an area near present-day Leonard with a name similar to C... Hills? The first word in the name appears to contain 6-9 letters. Are there any documents listing farm hands employed by the LEONARD heirs? A fellow researcher has confirmed that the 1870 Fannin County census does not include a Robert or Joseph GOODSON, so that source isn't helpful.
Any help or pointer that you could give us would be great! We live in a suburb of Washington DC and can't get to Texas very often.

TAPP: Searching for any info on Elias Henry Tapp, b: ca 1854 in MS, married: Sophronia P. (maiden name unknown). They had two sons: James R., b: ca 1887 and David V., b: 2 May 1891. This family lived in the Telephone/Monkstown area from 1910 to 1925. James R. TAPP was on the Fannin Co, TX 1910 census- he was married to Myrtle.

His third wife's name was Martha M. Does anybody know her last name. Martha M is buried at Shiloh cemetery in Selfs and Wm A may be buried there also. Any information onany branch of the Scroggins would be greatly appreciated. Please send reply to [email protected]

LARKIN: My mother is Rosa Lea LARKIN. Her paternal grandfather was Alonzo LARKIN, B. 1815 in (according to the family)Rhode Island. Alonzo was listed in the original Republic of Texas census. Alonzo died in Fannin County, Texas in January of 1862. We are searching for more information as to the the origin of the Larkins, because we have found no connection in researching Rhode Island records.

MILLER I am looking for information on Mary Katherine Miller who died in 1910 in Fanin Co. This may have been my great great grandmother. My great great grandmother died around this time period in a house and buggy accident. I would like to know where she was buried and if she had been married twice before. Thank you to anyone who can help me.

Johnnie Adams Sat, 25 Apr 1998 01:28:06
I am looking for a Samuel H. Adams (S. H.) and his son Smith Samuel (S. S.). They were on the 1850 census records in Sumner County, TN. However, there is a S. H. as well as a S. S. Adams in Fannin County, TX in 1860 census records in Honey Grove P.O. Samuel was born about 1801, married to Sarah P. Hill. They had 8 children as of 1850 as follows: Smith 17, Richard 13, Johanna 11, Luiza 9, Lucebra 7, Caledonia 5, Arabella 3, and Malvina 4 months. Both Richard and Smith joined the 35th and 11th Calvary Regiments in Tyler County, TX around 1862. Smith was killed during the war, but Richard remained in Texas and is buried in Somervell County along with two of his sons. I cannot locate this Adams family on the census records in Sumner County, TN after 1850. It appears maybe the entire family may have migrated to Texas since both the boys joined up to fight in the Civil War in Tyler, TX. I don't think they would have traveled all the way to Texas just to join when they could have joined in TN. Could you tell me if these Adams might be the same? Can I access Fannin County Census Records on-line as well as cemetery records? I would greatly appreciate it if you could help. Thank you so much for your time.

John Burchfield Sun, 26 Apr 1998 00:13:20
My father, Donald Ray Burchfield was born on his grandparents'farm outside Honey Grove in 1924. His parents were Issac Burchfield (from Vernon area) and Donna Lucille Isham (her parents owned or leased the farm). My great-grandparents, John C. Isham and Laura Elizabeth Stowe were the farmers in the area. I don't know who Laura's parents were. John was reportedly the son of Moses Baugh, but since he was born out of wedlock took the last name of his mother, Martha Isham (Moses was married to Martha's sister, Nancy). Moses was the son of Levi Baugh. I don't know who Martha Isham's parents were. I don't even know if any generations lived in Fannin County before John and Laura started farming there. Laura died young and John re-married to a widow named Beulah Hendricks (first husband's name, I believe). Beulah is buried in Bonham, I think I know that's where she lived until her deathg in the 1970's. Thanks for any info or sources of info you can point me to on t!
