I am going to reply privately to the question re the Renfroe's and
Indian hertiage because I don't think it is of general interest but if
anyone is interested let me know and I will be happy to share.
The cases I was talking about is where the person actually requested to
be removed from the rolls, not where they were unable to provide proof.

My great-grandfather Joshua David "Doss" Coffee first settled in Fannin
County in 1855 and joined the 14th Brigade of the Orangeville Independent
Home Guard during the Civil War. They were known as "heel flies" by local
people and were similar to a Confederate "Gestapo". They had the authority
from the Confederate Government of unlimited search and seizure. General
Henry Eustace McCullough was the commanding officer of the Home Guard units
in the North Texas District with headquarters in Bonham, Texas.
Jim English lived next door at Johnsville - Erath County. His descendants
include Garetts and Morgans- Morgans in cleburne.

Hi,
Great Grandad GEORGE MILTON MOXLEY joined the Confederate army as an
alternate for some rich guy who paid $500.00 for him to take his place in
the Draft. he was with Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's Calvary in some
really hot spots. On the way home there was absolutely nothing to eat, so
they ate their horses one at a time- and they were no longer fat,
His first wife was Lucinda Armstrong. Second was Mary Ann Fleming of
Missouri , my Great Grandmother , and she lived to the 1930's . Her
brother Jerry F
I can tell you about one group who left TN for AL 1815-1818. They were all
with Jackson during the War of 1812 which ended early 1815. They were back
in TN say May or June of 1815....and some of them by that fall were in Alabama.
Capt. John Looney and wife Rebekoh Turney arrived St. Claire Co AL
1815....their home is now a museum. Rebekoh's family was from the
Smith/Dekalb/Cannon Co area near Liberty TN. But John and Rebekoh had been
all over TN, one child was born near Cumberland Gap I know.
Rebekoh

Hi,
Will finish now. Anywhere the Indians were removed to, they either found
other rovings who considerred them as intruders . In Arkansas it was the
Intermarrieds like Will Roger's family and John Jolly, Sam Houston's
friend and the Blackburns who built the War Eagle River grist mill,
still running, who had taken the best land. which had been promised to
the ones forced on the Trail of Tears later,
It was not unusual for Indians to be given blankets infested with
smallpox, which they could not resist .
Yes sir, but where is his body now? and where is Jesse James buried?

Hi,
I first read some installments of "9 years among the Indians" from
either True West or Frontier Times, both edited by Dr. Walter Prescott
Webb of University of Texas at Austin. 1960-70's and published by J.
Austell Small of Austin. Thanks for the update.
There was also a Lehmann on the monument at Comfort for the group who
did not want to fight for either side, but favored stronger State's
Rights within the Union. Their families were not with them. They camped
out on a prairie hill with a large fire
I have talked to Judy about this before....
Franklin County Virginia Marriage records - say 1780s, 1790s show an Isaac
Rentfro as one of the ministers....
I at first thought several of the families in Franklin Co vA in 1790s were
same families who appear on 1840 Van Buren Co AR census, now I find many of
the VA families actually ended up in Kentucky....my daughter just got back
from Renfro Valley Kentucky.
I know the Moses Potter/Francis Kirby in VA went to KY, and it seems so did

Frank James lived at his sister's home near Savoy, Texas in Fannin County.
That community in about 10 miles east of Denison, Texas. He hid out there
from Federal authorities. Susan James married on of Quantrill's men named
Parmer. He finally left is sisters home after a few months of hiding and
went back to Missouri to stand trial. General Jo Shelby was a character
witness for Frank James at his trial. Shelby was one of the most beloved men
in Missouri at the time. Shelby came to the trial drunk.He came
An eye hoe is one with a heavier blade, heavier handle- long handle, and
a tapered eye on the back of the hoe which keeps the handle tight in the
hoe. it is much heavier than a regular Garden hoe and in an 8 or 10 hour
day it will blister hands without gloves andmake for very sore muscles-
the boys who hauled hay and did a cotton or corn crop with an eye hoe
were in shape for Football season started, if they were still in school.
One had a file handy to keep it razor sharp .

My daughter has been looking for stuff in Union Co., MS where the family
lived. Seems that they were in Tippa (sp?) Co. in 1850s. They did not move -
the county line moved. She found out that there are civil and criminal
records from that time in the courthouse and we are going to go over and see
Hi List,
Not to extend the talk, but ; a few years ago I was watching Allistair
Cooke's America series & he said that when the colonists landed
in two different locations; that was the beginning of the American
Civil War , due to two different opinions on a lot of things as well as
religious beliefs. The two locations were Virginia & Massachusetts.
I found this to be very interesting. Watch for it on the History Channel.

My gggg-grandfather, Ignatius [Nace?] RUSSELL, b1779 SC, was a line carrier
with a survey team that went into AL/MS at the turn of the 19th century
which was, of course, GA at the time. His daughter Mary Ann Russell McGEE
born 1803 always insisted that she was born in AL to every census taker.
Ah, but where I would like to know.
Georgia was bursting at the seams with pioneers who wanted to get across the
Oconee River[near Milledgeville, Baldwin Co.; Putnam Co, Hancock Co, Clarke
Co, Warren Co, etc]
What was going on in Orangeville about 1903 or 1904 that would have
drawn folks down from Ohio? My father in law( LM Craig) was born there
in 1904 after his dad came from Ohio? They never talked about this and
of course all are dead now. It seemed to be a stopping point for them
as they later moved down to Anderson Texas. I have always wondered why
he would come to that area.
Thanks

Much to my dismay, you are incorrect. I am southern.

Hi,
was going through records from Mattie Roberts Somerville, a Wyly
descendant and a Coffee Descendant, apparently more than once. She was
from West Monroe, Louisiana and
was a certified Geneaologist and leader in Natchitoches , Land DAR and
Geneaology society
In onew of the 20 boxes we brought home has a stack about 8 inches thick
of Coffee records. Will try to read some of it after the Wyly Reunioon in
Stephenville Holiday Inn.
Take care, Charles A. Wyly
