I am trying to find out information on Mattie M. REVERRA. Her mother was Rebecca McDANIEL who married P.J.REVERRA Jan. 29,1891 in Bowie Co. Rebecca McDANIEL REVERRA must have died before 1903 because Mattie M.REVERRA is listed on Nov. 3, 1903 Bowie County Probate Minutes. Paul REVERRA is shown as dying Feb. 2, 1938 (Case 3944 P.W. Vol. 23.Bowie County Probate Minutes). Where is Rebecca McDANIEL REVERRA buried? What happened to Mattie M. REVERRA. Where is Paul REVERRA buried? Does anything show what the M.stands for with Mattie M. REVERRA? Rebecca McDaniel was shown to be a tax payer in Bowie County in 1890.

My gggrandfather was Joseph BEAUCHAMP. He was born in 1849 in FL or Bowie Co., TX. He died in Bowie Co, TX in 1918(?). My grandmother says the family pronounced the name the French way. His wife's name was Mary A. GAMBILL. They had many children. I am descended from Henry W. or W. Henry. On one record I found Joseph's name spelled Baucom.

I am studying the ancestry of the HOUSE family of Texarkana, Texas. I can trace back to my ggrandfather Micaiah (Micajah) House who married Emily MAYFIELD. They had Will, Walter, Charlie, Joseph Milton (my grandfather), Dempsey, and Ruth (?). Joseph Milton married Anna May GOLDSBOROUGH and they lived most of their lives in Texarkana. They had Charles Wesley (my father) in 1907 in Kansas City but moved back to Texarkana in 1909. They also had Marjorie House McWhorter, Martha House Harris, Ruth House Camponova, and Anna May House Clarkson. (I believe that all of these were born in Texarkana. I was born in Texarkana in 1944, lived there about 18 months they my family moved to Dallas. Any help in discovering Micajah's and Emily's ancestry would be most appreciated. Thanks, Bill House
