Hi fellow Rooters -

Searching for any information on my paternal grandfather Thomas A. PRICE and
his wife, my grandmother, Bessie Lee TURNER - especially any information on
their ancestors or possible siblings.

Thomas A. PRICE
b. 26-Apr-1862 Russellville, Logan Co., KY
d. 01-Mar-1943 Abilene, TX

Bessie Lee TURNER
b. 13-Oct-1864 Tennessee
d. 23-Nov-1941 Abilene, TX

Records show that they were married on 19-Sep-1883 in Sumner Co., TN, They
moved to Abilene, TX on 24-Dec-1894. Although census files and his obituary
show that Thomas was born in Logan Co., KY, whenever asked, my father, John E.
Price, Sr., always told people he and his father, Thomas, were from Bowling
Green, Warren Co., KY.

Information on my grandmother, Bessie, came from Thomas' Census files, which
showed her to have been born in Tennessee, and her tombstone, which confirmed
her vital dates. Her death certificate did not show her father's name and
only that her mother's maiden name was TRIBUE, but that name is so unusual I
wonder if it could possibly be a misspelling or a variant of TRABUE, a French
Huguenot family name.

Have hit that well known brick wall on finding any information about their
parents or siblings. As always, will appreciate any and all information and
will be happy to share.
