Correction of yesterday's post: Benjamin N. Bugg of Cooke Co. is not

visiting there when he died. His widow is still living in Mississippi Co.

married 1/5/1896. Joseph's father was John WOMACK and mother was Mary
WEED (died 1923?). Their children also included a deceased daughter, JA
(born Ft. Worth), JM (Gainesville) and Laura (Denison, TX), so I assume
they moved to Gainesville when Joseph was pretty young. Joseph and

is a story about a guy on trial for murder, think his second one. Anyway
he got out after first one, went home to Cooke Co. where his mother &
sisters lived & decided to make an entrance. Next day was Sun. so put on
his guns & went to church. Mr. or Rev. Cooke was preaching, the guy
walked all the way to the front, preacher stopped until the guy sat down
then started preaching again. The killer killed right after that again.
Believe this was about 1890. Would like the name of the killer and if
there is more to the story that too. I believe the killer & the preacher
were related to me.

wondered about them when I saw an old newspaper article posted, The
Hesperian? It told of Jerry, abt age 20 being thrown from his horse and
killed in '88. Does someone have further information on this family, know
who Jerry's mother was, O. A.'s parents,where he was from, specifically
was there possibly a previous marriage for O. A., a connection to a White

QRYTEXT:
COGBURN OF COOKE COUNTY -
One of my brick walls for so long has been my grt gf Wm I COGBURN's
father and beyond. Wm was born in Ark April 1872 after the death of his
father and we do not have his name. Wm's mother was Louisa WHITE COGBURN
and after the death of her husband she married Adam WHISENHUNT; they, Wm,
& his half siblings came to Tx in 1880's; some of the children were born
in Hunt Co (as late as 1890) and they moved on to Taylor Co where they
settled. I have been aware of many COGBURN's in COOKE CO but have never
had information to tie my line there. Talked to my aunt tonight who had
seen an obit in the paper abt a wk ago of a Mr. Pruett who was buried at
the COGBURN CEMETERY, COOKE CO. She in turn had called my grt aunt who
said "Oh, yeah, Papa had lots of relatives in COOKE CO".
So now I have many questions and much work to do. I suppose one thing
that would be helpful to me at this point is to ask -- do "all" the COOKE
CO COGBURN families seem to tie together or were there multiple branches
that did not appear to be related? Also, the people being buried in the
COGBURN CEMETERY at this point, are they necessarily related to the
COGBURN family?
Does anyone remotely have info concerning a young COGBURN(his wife was 18
at the time) who died 1871-72 probably in Ark leaving behind a young
pregnant wife, no other children to our knowledge? One older cousin is
confused but thinks that either Wm or his father was a twin and the twin
died; we have no info that Wm was a twin and think maybe it was his
father, but it could be. Wm's father was reportedly killed, possibly in
an accident with a horse, rather than died from illness. She also is
thinking perhaps Wm was born in Hope, which means very likly this is
where his father died. Wm, his mother and step father were in Howard Co
census 1880.
Wm reportedly per another grt aunt, now deceased, had uncles Geo. & Andy
who came to visit him in Taylor Co TX from Ark; family history is that
they were hiding out from the law at that time. We have found that Henry
(have seen sources report his birth as both TN & SC) & Emmeline Margaret
Johnson COGBURN had sons by the name of Geo & Andrew as well as a Wm b.
TN 1851, which would be an appropriate date for our Wm's father. There
seems to be descendant info on Henry's children, but not on Wm; could he
have died young & our Wm named for his father? I find that Henry &
Margaret were in COOKE CO making this all the more interesting now. Is
there anyone out there with family history and/or stories, etc, that can
shed a clue on my Wm. COGBURN'S father and his family? Anything at all
would be so appreciated. Thanks, Sandra

Carson who appears on the 1880 census for Cooke County TX with a wife
(illegible) and daughters Etta and Ellen. I believe Owen to be the
nephew of Kit Carson the famous scout and the son of Hampton Carson
(1812-ca1847) and Aramintia Crews. Any information on Owen would be
greatly appreciated. Douglas Whitlock

I have conflicting information on John Calvin ROPER. One piece of
information is that he died in Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX in 1857. I
know he was born in 1824 in Pickens Co., SC and was married to Susan Ann
COMPTON who was born in NC in 1819. My information says she is buried in
Grayson County having died in 1859. I am looking for obituaries and/or
cemetery records to confirm or deny this information

QRYTEXT: Looking for an obit for Robert E. L. Robinson who was raised
in Cooke County but went to AZ and California as a young man. He was a
reporter for the San Francisco Examiner and was killed by natives on an
expedition to Old Mexico 5-26-1894. He had sisters still living in Cooke
County at the time who could have put the obit in the paper there since
it made several papers out west at the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
