Noakes on Tuesday, August 26, 1997     I am seeking info on FLEETWOOD, H. which can pinpoint his time of arriving in Kaufman County. In the 1880 Federal Census of Kaufman County, there is an H. FLEETWOOD household having Izette, William, Nancy, Maud, and Robt. E.. H. FLEETWOOD, b.1842, has the occupation "Farming", and is listed as coming from Louisiana. "H" I believe is for "Hatton". Looking back, in the 1860 Texas Census there is an H.R. FLEETWOOD listed as residing in Kaufman County. My questions are: Is H.R. in the 1860 census the same person as H. in the 1880 census? If H. is a farmer, when did he obtain his land? My stretch goal is to tie him to Alexander Hardey FLEETWOOD b.1849, also from Louisiana - maybe sons of Alexander Hatton FLEETWOOD, b.1804, England? I have a good amount of info on the A.H. FLEETWOOD line, but not much is relevant to Kaufman County. "Izette" I believe is Emma Izetta LONG, b.1840 to W.D.A.M LONG and Nancy ALBRIGHT. I have a fair amount on this part of the LONG line if anybody is interested in it.
