Kirkham/Williams Connie 8:58 am Monday August 12, 2002
T. J. Kirkham married Mary E. Williams. Must be the second
marriage for him and possible her also. On 1880 census, Falls
County, Texas they lived near Kosse. He had children older than their
marriage and there was a daughter, Mary M. Williams older than their marriage.
Other children were George, Susan, Dora, and Plesat (Sp.?) I believe T. J.
and Mary E. are my Great Great Grandparents. Any information would be
appreciated. I have been looking for a long time. Connie

Reply:
Connie...In
your Williams family history, do you have Thomas Jefferson Williams or Oliver
Elmore Williams?? I have a Thomas Edward Jefferson Williams born 1861 in
Georgia, had an older brother known to us at "Bud". I don't know that they
were in this area, half my descendants are from Limestone Co at one time.

I am looking for information about my g-grandfather, George W.
Morse m Margaret E. Glon or Horn in 1885. My grandfather,
William F. Morse was born in Limestone County in 1887. There were
other siblings born around the general area. Farl W.,
Ruby, Joe, and perhaps Bess. Margaret was also known as Mollie I
believe. Gathering information on the Morse Clan has been very
difficult. I was informed that a marriage record in the name of G. W.
Morse and M. E. Glon is on file. I have not been able to verify this.
Please, if anyone has any information on the Morse family, I would
appreciate it very much. Thanking you in advance. Betty

Judy Dorman
O'Casey -- are you there? Stephanie Althof
3:08 am Friday November 9, 2001
Hello! I found an old query from Judy Dorman O'Casey seeking
information on the Dorman family and mentioning John Edward
Dorman as an ancestor (born, by her records, in 1884). Judy, there is a
John Edward Dorman who was born, by our records, in 1878, studied at
Upper Iowa University, then Georgetown University, then returned to
Fayette, Iowa, where he was a dentist and coached football,
basketball, and baseball at UIU for over 50 years. He earned a spot in
the Helms Athletic Hall of Fame for longest tenure by a coach to a
single university team. I don't know if this is a relative of yours (the
Mexia-born man himself, even, possibly) or not, but I thought it might
be of interest to you. Best wishes! --Stephanie

If you know the exact date of death contact the University of TX at
Austin, they have the largest collection of TX newspapers. They
will not do research, but if you have exact date of death they will look
for an obituary. If they find one, they will make a copy and send
along to you, for a nominal fee.
