Original copies and\/or microfilm are known to survive for only two of these communities: Winnsboro (Winnsboro Wide Awake, Winnsboro Weekly News, and Winnsboro News) and Quitman (Wood County Democrat), the county seat. These newspapers are fertile researching ground. The flu and pneumonia epidemics of the later nineteen-teens caused the deaths of many of the original pioneers of Wood County. The Wood County Democrat was very good about printing biographical sketches about these old settlers. The Wood County Genealogical Society has extracted items of genealogical interest from all available papers published before 1920 plus two later issues of the Wood County Democrat that contained significant genealogical and historical information related to the nineteenth century. In addition to the usual births, deaths, and marriages, the abstracts include short notices and personal column items when these items included possible clues to family relationships. No attempt has been made to correct spelling, punctuation, or any other feature of the material that might be considered incorrect or inappropriate by contemporary standards. The character of the original material was considered of maximum importance. However, considerable liberty was exercised in extracting the genealogical content as many obituaries and family history sketches contained lengthy paragraphs of praise for persons and families not included in this book.

Many births were not recorded until Social Security came into being. Draft registration for World War II also forced many to seek a birth record and, if a record could not be found, a new one was created. In some cases there are three or more records for one birth. The City of Kerrville kept a record of children born in the city from 1917 through 1928; sometimes these births were not recorded in the county seat. This book presents Kerr County birth records for the years between 1903 and 1935. There are also a few \"delayed\" records from the late 1870s up to 1903.

The Surveyors of each of those land districts made copies of all the surveys in their offices that pertained to lands that were in the new county and sent them to the Parker County Surveyor who maintained the records from that point forward.

Company A of the Nineteenth Texas Infantry was one of the hardest fighting units of the Confederacy's Trans-Mississippi Department. The men that formed the regiment during the spring of 1862 joined other Texas regiments in Arkansas and later became the core of the famous Walker's Texas Division. Sharing the unique traits of Company A, the division was the only such unit in the Confederacy that was comprised exclusively of Texans, primarily recruited from Jefferson, Texas. Their experience challenges several stereotypes concerning Confederate soldiers. Company A, in the Lone Star tradition, stands out as a true Texas anomaly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first chapter focuses on the creation of Company A and the Nineteenth Texas Infantry. Members enlisted in partial reaction to the series of military setbacks experienced by the Confederacy and rumors of conscription. The next two chapters discuss the military operations of Company A and multiple major engagements including: Perkin's Landing, Milliken's Bend, Fort DeRussy, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins' Ferry. Colonel Richard Waterhouse (the original commander of the regiment) and other officers, as well as enlisted men contributed to an impressive war record.

Thus, a document listed for John Jones and W [wife], Book 10, page 350, will also be listed for Mary Jones and H [husband], Book 10, page 350. This volume, a goldmine of information in itself, will also aid researchers in locating land documents, which often provide a complete list of family members. Wills are often found in the land records to prove ownership of inherited property. Some of the land recorded in this book was originally from Spanish Land Grants, with the ownership carrying over into Statehood in 1846. Kerr County, Texas, was formed in 1856. It had previously been known as Bexar County.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGloria Clifton Dozier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2006, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, alphabetical, 476 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788443558\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-D4355\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39302626541686,"sku":"101-D4355","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-d4355.png?v=1727739066"},{"product_id":"101-d4764","title":"Guide and Index to the Republic of Texas Donation Voucher Files and Confederate Script Voucher Files, 1881-1883, in the Texas General Land Office","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a guide and index finding aid to the Republic of Texas Donation Voucher Files, 1879-1887; and Confederate Scrip Voucher Files, 1881-1883.

It is a virtual encyclopedia of information about Collin County, Capt. Hall having used his resources as a local newspaper columnist and historian to gather material from old newspapers, archives, and personal acquaintances with some of the old pioneers. The book contains more than 100 photographs of pioneer people and scenes, thumbnail biographies of several hundred pioneer settlers, a list of old post offices, and a county map showing thirty-three historical sites including ghost towns, early villages, and Indian massacres, plus the locations of 127 early schools. It was during his career in the 1950s as a newspaper columnist for the McKinney Examiner that Capt. Hall began to collect material and write a history of his county. He and Mrs. Hall spent two years \"on the road,\" researching and locating the site of every battle fought on Texas soil. Well-known and admired in the community (he was later elected mayor), he received letters from readers who sent him biographies and treasured family photographs. After Capt. Hall died in 1970, Mrs. Hall, a retired school teacher and local history enthusiast, took on the huge task of organizing the accumulated information into this first-rate book. Penned in the narrative style of a good feature writer are the stories of Spotted Tail, the Kiowa chief who protected area towns from Plains Indian attacks during the Civil War; the life and customs of the early settlers; the Dallas-Sherman Interurban; and of course, the county's pioneers and prominent people: from Collin McKinney, for whom both the town and county were named, to Audie Murphy, Hollywood hero and highest decorated U.S. soldier of World War II. It is hard to imagine a more complete county history. A book could be written about the colorful life of Capt. Hall, who was born in 1884 in his great-grandfather's house just north of McKinney. He served in the army before and during World War I, was a bodyguard for President Teddy Roosevelt, played professional baseball for the Cincinnati Red Legs, was a motorman on the old Interurban in McKinney, worked on a ranch in West Texas, and taught school. He became a feature writer for the San Antonio Express, and later a columnist for the McKinney Daily Courier-Gazette and the McKinney Examiner. He belonged to several civic associations, and he organized the Collin County Historical Committee in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapt. Roy F.

Like most small towns, everyone knew their neighbors, the Saturday night drunk, the wife-beater, the pilferer, the adulterer—all the honest and not-so-honest residents that make up any small town. However, in researching background material, a darker side of local history emerged—a crime so terrible that no one wanted to talk about it, even in the twenty-first century. There was a lynching in Rockwall in 1909. This \"forgotten\" piece of history is included here. J. W. Cullins, the first chief of police for the town, always called himself a peace officer. He did not police; he kept the peace using a mixture of good judgment and common sense. As fellow members of law enforcement, J. W. and the author dealt with a variety of people and their problems: disgruntled speeders, joyful drunks, indignant parents. Court was held in a variety of unusual places, including a shared table at a free rabies clinic for dogs.

Instead, judges, the prosecuting attorney and the rest of the trial bar (attorney DeMorse among them), would \"ride the circuit\" twice annually, going from county to county within their district, and spending a week or more in each county seat trying cases. Journalist DeMorse, in his reports home to the readers of \u003cem\u003eThe Standard\u003c\/em\u003e described the practice of law in those first days in courthouses of all descriptions, including under trees; the treks from county seat to county seat, often through barely tamed country and in difficult weather; his companion lawyers and judges; the festivities surrounding \"Court Week\" in each town; the wondrous people and things encountered en route; and the impending War Between the States. This is a selection of those reports. An appendix, endnotes and indices enhance the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard B.

Founded in 1842 by Charles DeMorse, a New York lawyer and veteran of the Texas Revolution, the paper was published under his editorship for forty-six years. The paper grew to become the second largest in circulation in Texas and DeMorse himself was hailed as the Father of Texas Journalism. The \u003cem\u003eStandard\u003c\/em\u003e provided its readers with a full offering of what was happening in Clarksville, Northern Texas (as well as the rest of Texas), the nation, and even the world of the mid-1800s. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/101-m4241\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Paradise of Texas, volume 1\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVolume I\u003c\/a\u003e focuses on Red River County and its seat, the town of Clarksville, during the years 1846 to 1860. The former Red River District of the Republic of Texas is mother county to thirty-nine present Texas counties. Volume II focuses on what happened in many of those calf counties during the same fourteen year time span: from the days of the Republic, to Statehood, and finally, the Civil War. Some of these counties were already well established, some were still developing, and others were in their infancy. Beyond these counties was the frontier with its wild native inhabitants.
