751	And what appears to cause the most confusion in this case, is the fact that John Shackelford was also deceased by or before November 9, 1812, and his wife Jane was the administrator. He left no Will. And since he was the executor of his father's Will, the children of Henry, Jr. are mentioned as his heirs. What appears to have been the children of John are mentioned when one Jonathan Stone was apointed guardian of Mildred, Jenny (Jane), John, Henry, James and Martha Shackelford, January 8, 1815. See Order Book 10, page 255, also page 115, same book.	SHACKELFORD, John (I4201)
752	Being the youngest brother of three rowdy boys could not have been easy for Eddie but he was, in fact, quite personable and family-oriented. He was too young to hang out with Alan and I but was a best friend to David and Scott. We called him Skettie when he was young and then Big Ed and finally Big Head, a nickname that we still used at the time of his passing. A story from Elaine: When she went into labor with Eddie, she went to the old hospital in Texas City. That hospital had a clinic in front and the actual hospital was across the alley in the back. The nurse put her on a gurney and pushed her out the back door of the clinic and Eddie was born in the alley before they could get through the doors of the hospital. His name was supposted to have been Dean Walter but they decided they had enough DWTs so they made it Edward Dean.	THOMPSON, Edward Dean (I1374)

755	Dale served at San Diego for bootcamp and then spent the rest of his enlistment in Okinawa.	THOMPSON, Dale William (I110)
756	Dale was funny, talented, and intelligent. He played a harmonica and drums and was good at impersonations. He could build a surfboard or a motorcycle and rode both very well. He got his commercial driver's license at age 18 in a tiny Datsun pickup but could drive dump trucks and other equipment with ease. He had a knack for telling stories in a way that made us roll with laughter. He was a good friend and fierce protector. His first car was a small Simca (look it up) and his first motorcycle was a second-hand Sears 106. He was one of the coolest guys in school.	THOMPSON, Dale William (I110)
757	Douglas was one of the funniest people I ever met, he had a knack for making folks laugh. He spent many years as an over-the-road truck driver and then switched to heavy equipment so he could settle. He was in the rodeo club in high school but wasn't really a cowboy type. He never married but had relationships that made him an honorary father. He was the first person I met when I moved to Hitchcock and I will always consider him one of my best friends.	THOMPSON, Douglas Wayne (I1460)
758	Elaine grew up in Colorado, the eldest of three girls. At the roller rink where she worked, she met and married a young Army private who whisked her 1000 miles away from home to a completely new life. She raised four boys and a chihuahua named Tinkerbell in a tiny manufactured home that was always clean, currently decorated and a peaceful refuge. Once the family was settled, they began making the two-day drive to Colorado every other year. In off-years, Elaine's parents came to Texas. She spent much of her time at her dining room table chatting with visitors or on the phone and watching her soaps. The table was the focal point for family and friends and its chairs were seldom empty. Elaine couldn't drive a car and she swam like a rock but she was a great mom, grandmother and mother-in-law.	ASHBY, Lucille Elaine (I1459)
759	Eleanor Rambie should be James Kennard's sister. The 1870 Census shows a son named J T who is 2 years old. The 1880 Census with the Ramies shows only two boys, James and Aaron. The 1880 with the Holders shows James, Aaron and a daughter named Jane. Joseph isn't listed on either census.	HOLDER, Mary Malinda (I3146)
760	From records maintained and recovered, we have determined that John was married to Rebecca Pitts. This was his only marriage, and it produced nine births resulting in eight recorded children. We have the date of only one such birth, that of our direct ancestor, John Jr. It is recorded as 1-11-1804 in Newberry District, South Carolina. (Newberry District became the present county in 1818.) There is some debate as to exactly when John Sr. arrived in South Carolina, and whether in fact he brought his family with him, or sired it after arrival; although we cannot be certain, records seem to indicate the latter. It would seem that in fact his children were born in, or near, Newberry, SC, as a bond for guardianship of minor children was executed in 1820. This would indicate that Rebecca Pitts had died just prior. This guardianship bond listed as minor children: William, John Jr., Henry, Sarah, and Mary. The three not listed were: James, Elizabeth, and Martha. It would seem that they were older children, and may in fact have arrived with John Sr. and his wife from Ireland. This can only be surmised as the other dates of birth are not recorded. Of Rebecca Pitts, we know little except that her father is recorded on the bond as one Henry Pitts. John Sr. arrived in South Carolina with four brothers; they are recorded as James, Seth, Ephraim, and Harry, the last two names being somewhat in question. It is not recorded as to where the other brothers settled. The only other facts we have of John's children is that Martha married a Hosea Johnston, and bore him one child: Ezekiah Eastlin Johnston. The census of 1830 shows John Sr., between the ages of 70 and 80, living alone in Newberry, and a Henry Sterling, age 20 to 30, along with one female, age 15 to 20, living in a separate household. We can believe the female to be Henry's young wife. His listed age would indicate John's birth in Ireland to be between 1750 and 1760. [Doyle Chamber's site]	STERLING, John (I15356)

763	Harvey was a radio DJ and people-person. He enjoyed his celebrity functions but he also enjoyed "tinkering" with projects around the house. After growing up in an orphanage, he joined the Army and was stationed in Colorado where he met the love of his life.

766	I am searching for any information about a Thomas Grace from County Meath, who died in the late 1850's there. He was married at the time, although I do not know his wife's name. They had 2 children, Mary Grace (born about 1853) and a male infant at the time of his death. His surviving spouse, daughter and infant son left Ireland shortly after his death and went to New Orleans, Louisiana to live with the surviving spouse's cousins, the Donegans.

768	James Thomas 'Buster' Morris was born on Feb 20, 1889 in Bedias, Grimes County, Texas to John W. Morris and Catherine J. 'Kate' Thomas.

770	John Thomas DAVIS was born to John Henry DAVIS and Mary Elizabeth "Molly" GREEN. This was her second marriage, the first being to John N. DAVIS. Of the first marriage were born two sons: Othman DAVIS (my grandfather) and Birt (Bert) DAVIS. Othman DAVIS (b. LA) married Maude Grayson BURNS (b. AL) in Navarro Co., TX, in 1900, and had four daughters: Pearl Lorraine DAVIS (b. Jan. 15, 1902, Frost, Nav. Co., TX), Ruth Mildred DAVIS (b. Dec. 21, 1904, Frost, Nav. Co., TX), Thelma Mae DAVIS (my mother)(b. Feb. 18, 1906, Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX), and Maude Marie DAVIS (b. 1908, Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX). Mary Elizabeth "Molly" GREEN was the daughter of Henry G. (Greenville?) GREEN (b. 1824, AL) and Malinda "Malendy" POOL (b. GA / her father was Joseph POOL / her mother was Eula Edith MOTT). Joseph POOL had only one other child, a son named Jesse C. POOL. Sister to Mary Elizabeth "Molly" GREEN was Martha Jane "Mattie" GREEN, who married Thomas J. DAVIS, brother of John N. DAVIS. (Sisters married brothers.) There are numerous siblings of both families (James DAVIS and Henry G. GREEN) listed in the 1850/1860/1870 census of Jackson Parish and that of Winn Parish, LA. Henry G. GREEN was a Mason, and was a Pvt., Co. O, Consolidated Crescent Regt., LA Inf. He appears on the Roll of Prisoners of War, Paroled at Nachitoches, LA, June 6, 1865. James DAVIS married an Elizabeth, who (I was told by my mother and her sisters) was a full blood Choctaw. That makes me 1/16 Choctaw!! Henry G. GREEN and Malinda POOL were married in Winston Co., MS, in 1846. Our DAVIS and GREEN families came from Lousisana to Navarro Co., TX, in the late 1870's. They farmed land in Navarro County. Henry G. GREEN, John N. DAVIS, and others of this line are buried in Cryer Creek Cem., Nav., TX. I am searching for the birth places and ancestors of James DAVIS and Henry G. GREEN. I especially would like to know what relationship John Henry DAVIS had with our James DAVIS. Nephew? Just a side note: Lyman Thomas DAVIS, son of Thomas J. DAVIS, was a cook on the Chisholm Trail from Texas into Oklahoma. After his "wild days", he settled down in Corsicana, sold his chili from his wagon in front of the post office, bank, etc., and later opened a grocery store in one of his buildings on Beaton Street. (He built the whole block!) On the back of his wagon was a cage which held his pet wolf, named "Keiser Bill". When "Keiser Bill" died, Lyman hung his hide on the side of his wagon. Thus was the beginning of WOLF BRAND CHILI. I hope you can include this information in your postings. I believe it will help others who are searching for these DAVIS / GREEN lines. Some other names included in my research are: BROCK / GILCREASE / HAWKINS / BRYANT / RANSOM / POOL / MOTT / FREEMAN / ARMSTRONG / BANISTER / MARCELLUS / and ALONZO.

781	"But now came a season of dreadful trial to these devoted people. The Indian tribes, which almost surrounded them, became incensed against the whites, and rose in arms to destroy them. The inhabitants of Long Canes, in Abbeville, fled for refuge to the older and more settled parts of the country. A party, of whom Patrick Calhoun was one, who were removing their wives and children and more valuable effects to Augusta, were attacked by the Cherokees, on February 1st, 1760, and, according to cotemporary journals, some fifty persons--according to other accounts, twenty-two persons--mostly women and children, were slain, and fourteen carried into captivity. After the massacre, many children were found wandering in the woods. One man brought fourteen of these young fugitives into Augusta, some of whom had been cut with tomahawks and left for dead. Others were found on the bloody field, scalped, but living still. Patrick Calhoun, who returned to the sopt to bury the dead, found twenty dead bodies, inhumanly mangled. The indians had set fire to the woods, and had rifled the carts and wagons, thirteen in number.* "[Footnote: *This attack was made on February 1st, 1760, on a descent just before reaching Patterson's Bridge, as they had stopped to encamp for the night, while they were entangled by their wagons, and could make but little resistance. Some, by cutting loose the horses, and joining a portion of the company in the advance, were so fortunate as to escape, under cover of the night. Among the slain was the mother of the family, Mrs. Catherine Calhoun, and a curious stone, engraved by a native artist, marks the spot where she fell, among her children and neighbors. Two little girls, daaughters of William Calhoun, brother of Patrick, were carried into captivity, the eldest of whom was, after some years, rescued; the other was never heard of. [Reference: MS. of M. E. Davis] The grandfather of Mr. Samuel Clark, now of Beech Island, and several members of his family, were killed in the attack. The wife and four children escaped." http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lynneb/mscrmkrpic.html [Long Cane Creek]	MONTGOMERY, Catherine (I16493)
782	1880 Census shows a John Gibbon living in Limestone County. Listed with the children is Sarah Gibbon who is the daughter of Liza Jane. John's wife is listed as Julia and there are seven other children ranging from ages 18 to 1 years of age.

Of Liza's three children with John the oldest two were born in Texas, the youngest was born in Missouri in about 1864. ****1850 census of Dist 72, in Pulaski County, Missouri lists Eliza J.

789	Wiley was born in Holland while Beatrice was visiting her mother. The family lived in Taylor at the time. He had the mumps when Billy was a baby and almost died. He was the best "papaw" a child could have, spending time with us and making us giggle. He walked me to the library, walked David to school and, once in a while, walked us to the ice cream parlor for a treat. I'm unsure of the dates of employment at his various jobs; I think I have them listed in the correct order.	SENN, Wiley William (I1379)
