Also, the Hood County web site mentions that W.A.'s sister was "Mrs. Farris." What was her first name? Thanks for any info. -- also other relatives.

My great-great-grandfater James WARD and wife Julia WINTERS settle in Hood Co. after 1850. He probably died there circa 1865. His son John William WARD left there around 1877 to Brown Co. His wife Ann Catherine SEWELL died and he remarried to Mary SHOEMAKER. I don't know if the WARD family elsewhere in TX prior to 1850. They were living in AL in 1848. Anyone working on this family or related families? Let me hear from you.

I'm looking for anyone with information on the Gurry family. My grandfather's brothers moved to Texas probably between 1870 and 1900. I saw that the name Gurry was in one of your historical books, so I though I'd take a chance on seeing if that was the same Gurry family. Names of the brothers who left Quebec, Canada, and established themselves as ranchers in Texas : Christopher Gurry, Peter Gurry and John Gurry. Also a nephew by the ? Bowles went to live with his uncle and never came back to Quebec. My Gurry family living in an Irish settlement in Quebec came from Dublin Ireland in the 1820's Thank you for any help.

May and E.M died within 6 months of each other in 1899 and 1900 and are buried in Acton. Vena is living with her two brothers, Carl and Finis, in the 1900 census with their grandparents, John Carlton and Savannah Allison in Acton. Her Aunt and Uncle were Linnie Allison McClung and Ed Allison (married to Emma Duckworth) Vena married Houston Covey Sr. in 1916. My father, Houston Covey Jr. was born August 21, 1917 in Bluffdale. Vena died in Nov.1918 during the influenza epidemic. My grandfather told me she was buried in the Acton cemetery in her parents plot, but only has an unmarked grave as they did not have enough money for a headstone. She has four adult grandchildren that would love to know whatever we can about her life and other relatives. Thank you!

My husband and my mother and I went to the Wells Cemetery in southern Hood county last week. It is sometimes called Elm Flat Cemetery. There are no signs to the cemetery and there is little care taken of it. We were interested in the Wells graves. (I had been told that there were none in the cemetery.) We found the following: Lucinda Wells, died 1889; William Alvin Wells 11/22/1878 - 5/8/1928; Exer Smith Wells 10/23/1884 - 7/4/1984; Stonewall Texas Wells, son of T. B. & E. E. Wells, 10/11/1876 - 11/2/1877; Alvin Peyton Wells, son of T. B. & E. E. Wells, 5/1/1875 - 11/8/1877. Does anyone have any information on these people? My grandfather told my mother that he had attended school in the late 1800's at the Brushy school. He was the son of James Thomas and Mary Elizabeth (Terry) Wells who eventually settled in Brown county. Do any records from the Brushy school survive? How about any school census records. Are any available? Thanks. LaFon (Stone) Commander (lafon2redRED@aol.com)

I've just found my grt-grt gf John Davis in the Hood Co 1900 on-line census. I had been told he and the children moved from Ellis Co where the children were born to Hood Co after the death of his wife Ann Pritchard Davis; was told she died around the time my grt gm Jennie Teresa Davis Cogburn was 9 which would have been abt. '96, but definitely moved after '81 as Jennie's younger brother Joe Monroe was born in Waxahachie that year. Also another sibling Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Davis Henslee born Ellis Co. '79; Molly married my gf Arvellor Henslee's uncle Milton Henslee and Joe married Bertie Whisenhunt who was the sister to Wm Cogburn, my grt gf and husband of Jennie. This line is all multi-related to me and various lines so would surely like to find more on it, making this find after so long very exciting! The census shows J. M. Davis born in TX Oct '81(I already had 10/24/81) living in household of his father J. J. Davis born TN 4/1835; he was a farmer and parents were born TN & NC. They are living near 1) C.H. Davis born SC 1871 and wife Annie & son Trenhalnen? b. 1895 2) B. O. Davis born TX 1895 and his mother Z. E. Davis born TN 1854 3) H.A. Davis born SC 1864, wife A.C. & children Mary L (SC 1884), Henry (TX '91), & Laura (TX '96). They are actually living next door to a Woodward family listed as J. S., "daughter" and Denis, "son-in-law"; they were born 1871 & '68 and all of their parents born in TN; and "grandaughters" Cora Bertie and Sister; no "head of household" listed? Could someone shed some light and/or clues on John J and perhaps his connection to these other Davis families? I had always worked under the assumption he must have moved to Hood Co. because he had family there. I have a Laura Davis w.o. birthdate listed already in my family tree who married Wm Matlock b. 1888; Wm was a nephew of my grt gm Lucinda Matlock Henslee. Laura was a sister I think it was (some info boxed up from recent move) to Judge Davis of the pioneer Davis family which was one of the earliest settler families of Hood Co. per the County site. Apologies for a little lengthy but so hoping someone will recognize some of this and be able to better help. Thank you for any assistance whatsoever!! Sandra

I found a page on the Hood County Genealogical web site listing information about James Bradley ALLISON and Willis ALLISON. I am trying to clarify some genealogical information about my family and James Bradley is my great, great grandfather. The little information that I have on James has him born 26 Nov 1829 in Tennessee, marrying Frances Paralee RADFORD b 18 Aug 1843, MO) on 6 Dec 1863 and dying 9 Aug 1891 in Lipan, Texas. There are two children listed, Willis (b 22 Dec 1864, MO) and my great grandfather Robert Lee (b 27 Aug 1875, TX). However I have found a James Bradley ALLISON born 25 Dec 1829, married to a Myra JACKSON (b 1828) on 1 Jan 1852 in Missouri. They have 5 children; Rebecca (b 1852), Martha (b 1854), George (b 1856), Nancy (b 1857), and Birdie (b 1860). This listing has James dying 9 Aug 1891 in Texas as well. Neither listing mentioned an additional marriage. If any has further information about James Bradley or this line of Allison's in Hood County, which appears to be strong, I would appreciate hearing from them. I attempted to contact Darrell Allison who is listed on the web page but his email address appears to be outdated. Thank you.

I am looking for information about my great grandmother, Jane(Jennie) Elizabeth Hudson. She went by Jennie. She and five of her children moved to Hood County after her husband, William Wilson Hudson's death. They came to Texas about 1895. One daughter, Ada May Hudson had married Henry Walters and, I think, had already moved to Hood County. The other children were William Warner Hudson who died January 5, 1896 and was taken back to AR for burial,M. Maude Hudson, Oscar Milford, Hudson, George Edwin Hudson, (my grandfather) and Ernest Eugene Hudson. They lived in or near Puluxy. Jennie died in 1930 in Ranger, TX, so at some point she moved from Hood County. M. Maude Hudson married Samuel Brooks on August 28, 1899 and had twin boys, Lattice and Loyce Brooks, born Jan. 31, 1903. She later married John Calvert (date ?) and Elisha Moore on June 17, 1945. Oscar Milford Hudson married Bessie Harrell on NOv. 20,1921 and had 2 children, Harrell Milford and Geraldine Gertrude Hudson. George Edwin Hudson married Lena Hudson and they had 6 children, two of whom were born in Puluxy, Jennie Mattie Hudson, born July 118, 1909; and Rex Orson Hudson (my father) born, March 26, 1912. Ernest Eugene Hudson who married MOlly Pearl Boyd, August 8, 1920. They had 3 children born in Tolar, Minnie May Hudson, born Sept 20, 1921, Bobbie Jean Hudson, born October 29, 1931, and Mary Lou Hudson, born April 12, 1973. I have found references to the old Hudson homeplace which I think was in Puluxy or near there.

In the year 1999 a man by the name of Bud Hardcastle and his crew came to Granbury to exhume a grave. An event that turned into a circus. Searching for Jesse James also known as J Frank Dalton. In the process of his digging and recovery of the body of Henry Holland the after math of it all resulted in a tombstone being tossed to the side. It has been 2 years since the dig and the marker of J Frank Dalton still resides in the bushes. At what point and time does the Historical Society of Granbury or any other caring person choose to place the stone over the grave of J Frank Dalton. Hardcastle claims it wasn't his responsibility to place the stone back where it came from. The he claims he wouldn't blame Granbury for not putting the marker back as no one is really sure where JFD is burried. Yet, he is on a gen forum board and brags that the body of JFD was next to the one armed man he dug up by mistake. I was wondering who I would contract to find out how to get the marker back in it's location. Now that the dig has been over for 2 years. Thank you Carol James Holmes

NEWTON L. COOPER moved to Texas in 1871, settling in Granbury where he was a member of the law firm of RUSSELL, COOPER & LEMMON. In later years, a son, Hugh joined his Father in the law firm under the name "N. L. Cooper & Son. Newton L. Cooper was a first cousin to my Grandfather, Samuel Cooper in Parker County.

I am trying to find out what happened to Hardie/Hartie HALL who was a daughter of John T. HALL and Lenorha DOUGHTEN. She was born in either Tennessee, Arkansas, or Missouri in 1874. Other siblings were Sarah HALL, Charles HALL, Nashville D. HALL, John Polar HALL, sister I. O. D. HALL, Teddy T. HALL, and Thomas "Tommy" HALL. The father John T. Hall died in 1884 shortly after moving from Marion Co., AR. His wife Lenorha delived their last child about 3 months before John T. HALL died. Lenorha DOUGHTEN HALL died in 1891. Soon after that Charles HALL was awarded the guardianship of the minor children. Hartie HALL was not one of them. She would have been about 18 by then and probably married. I think she married a man named Fred but don't know his last name. They lived later in Rhome, and Weatherford, Texas. If anyone can help me find this last name it will be a miracle.

I have recently learned there had been a Henslee reunion in Hood County, in about June I believe. I was not even aware there were any more Henslee reunions there; is it still at Fall Creek where I attended as a child? Is it just a particular line or all Hood County Henslee descendants? the same time each year so one might plan ahead? I would love to hear about the one this year! Thanks, Sandra, a great grandaughter of Maxfield F. & Lucinda Jane Matlock Henslee.

My great grandfather and grandfather had a farm on Commanche Peak. Once, about 25 years ago, my father was told how to go see the "old Branch place". I would very much like to see it too. I've been told my father was born on Commanche Peak.

My Wood ancestors (Charles & Margaret Lindsey Wood) traveled from Louisville, Winston Co., MS in 1866, with 4 children, aged 6-12). My Parker ancestors (Peyton & Nancy Ann Elizabeth Hobbs Parker) traveled from Leake Co., MS in 1866, with 3 children, aged 1-7. Winston Co is just northeast of Leake Co. The Parkers settled in Aquilla, Hill Co. The Woods settled first in Steiner Valley, Hill Co., then moved across the river to Fowler, Bosque Co., TX In 1888, Columbus Campbell Parker, age 26, married Ella Wood, age 18. Did their parents become friends while traveling in the same wagon train? Did Columbus fall in love with Ella when she was but a wee girl, and wait for her to get old enough to marry? We do know that none of Charles Wood's many siblings, nor Margaret's siblings traveled from Mississippi. We know that none of Nancy Hobbs family traveled from Mississippi. We know nothing about Peyton Parker... no parents or sibs... so we DON"T know if he had any relatives that made the trip. But, we DO know that in those days, you didn't just up and move to Texas all by yourself, with a wagon load of young'uns. Both families MUST have made the trip as part of a wagon train. Now, I'm thinking that there was a good possibility that they came on the same wagon train. Are there any of you out there, that feel like your ancestors might have arrived in Hill/Bosque/Parker/Erath/Somervell/Johnson/Tarrant/Hood/Palo Pinto/Stephens/McLennan Counties in 1866, on a wagon train that had come through the counties of Winston & Leake Co., Mississippi?
