8. Shepherds and Hicks [1]
Hi, I am African-American and have roots in East Texas and was always told that my gr-grandmother was either Indian or part Indian. The surname is Shepherd. Is this an Indian name? Also, what Indian tribes existed in East Texas between 1800 and 1900's for San Augustine and Nacogdoches Counties? I also have ancestors from North Carolina with the surname of Hicks. I was told that different Indian tribes also owned slaves and concerning my "Hicks" line that I should check into it. How would I go about fi

A good place to start would be the library closest to 'the place'. If they don't have the newspapers they could surely tell you where they are if they have survived.

11. Re: S.Houston & Cherokees [1]
I have heard those rumors. Apparently, Tiana did marry. Will Rogers supposedly related to her. When Houston a young man living with Cherokee, supposedly had several different relationships with young Cherokee women. Oh well. Houston's children are an interesting story. Again, Huntsville Museum good place to learn more about them. Temple was my favorite. Have you heard about him? Andrew Jackson Houston lived into his 90's and was chosen to fill in as US Senator, after the death of another Texas senat

13. Re: Saints in TX .. [1]
Looks for books by or about the Texas Rangers. I found a couple of Half Uncles (by tradition) who were rustlers in West Texas. I found the accounts in a book by James Gillett, a former Texas Ranger. My Grandfather used to tell me stories like if he were climbing a tree, his mom would come out and tell him to stop because he might break his neck like ole Uncle Role. Turns out Role was shot while running from the rangers and then fell off his horse, breaking his neck. -----Original Message----- From: Sha

There have been several messages about fair complexioned Indians and about My home town, Nacogdoches, TX. Today I was doing a bit of house cleaning and found the following.

I would like to hear more , and if it is objectional to the list , send email :) ..Thanks, Shan
20. Elder John Parker Descendants [1]
The parents of Cynthia Ann Parker, mother of Quannah Parker, were Silas Parker and Lucy Duty. He was born in 1802 and died at Fort Parker May 19, 1836. Cynthia Ann was born Oct. 10, 1827 in Illinois and died in 1870 in Henderson County, Texas. Her brother, John was never found. One family story is that he did visit the Parkers in Anderson County after he was grown and that he went to Mexico and married a Mexican girl. To my knowledge nothing has been proven.
21. Parkers [1]
Just a point of interest. There were two families of Parkers that came to Texas at the same time and settled in the same area (Houston County). Both were ministers. They were Daniel Parker and Francis Parker. They both started churches. Francis Parker's people pretty much stayed in Houston County whereas Daniel Parker's people moved on. So be careful on these Parkers so that you get the right family.

23. Re: Old African American Cemeteries [1]
Hello Penny, There are two cemeteries that I know of in Nacogdoches co. that have freedmen buried there. One is the Old North Church cemetery, Black section, North of downtown Nacogdoches and Post Oak cemetery south of the North Church Cemetery. Take U.S. 59 North about 2 - 3 mi. Turn right at a historical site called Millard's Crossing (Landing?) and go about 3 miles to Post Oak Cemetery near a church at the bend of the Road.

24. Re: S.Houston & Cherokees [1]
Interesting. Descendants of Houston were cousins of mine. His wife, Margaret Moffett Lea was sister to Temple Lea. He was my 3rd great Grandfather. At many times he was a drunk, having battled, or enjoyed, it most of his life much until the end. And by the way, he was know as a drunk by a whole lot more people than just the Cherokee's. You also have to remember, Many a tribe considered him a friend. But he was also a great statesman. He brought texas into the States, which many in Texas wanted at th
