Dec 28, 2010 I am looking for information as to my mother's father, his
brother, and
family. My mother is Mary Berta (Ainsworth) Chesshire, born 1917, in
Personville, Tx and died 1989 in Monterey Calif. Her father was Will
(William) Ainsworth and he had a twin brother, John. Will married
Lillie Ethel Clark around 1915. They had my mother and another daughter,
my aunt Sissy (Willie Ainsworth Walker) . Will died Jan.1919? during the
flu epidemic. My grandmother remarried a couple of years later to a man
named Johnny Williams. His brother John lived on, married, had a family,
and I understand he lived in and around Limestone County until he died.
There are a few Ainsworth's with roots in and around Limestone County
but, I cannot make a connection to any of them. It seems the trail ends
before Will and John and their parents are mentioned. Time and distance
have erased the family connection. Can anyone out there help me? Nov 29, 2010 I am looking for the burial place and reason of death for JOHN M. TURNER.

(Bill) Brown Aug 18, 2010 I’ve been searching for the grave plot of Martha A. Irwin BURKS, thinking that she might be buried in either Limestone or Leon County. The reason for my search is to determine my Grandmother’s birth date. Right now, her death cert says she was born in 1883, but that’s not possible if Martha died in 1881 (according to other Ancestry sites). Could you perhaps give me some clues on where I might look. Thanks Ron Langenberg (grandson of Buelah Dawn Burks Langenberg) Aug 13, 2010 Hello....I am the great-granddaughter of Samuel Beard RISIEN who died on the Titanic in 1912. He lived in Groesbeck from about 1870 on. I cannot find any listing (so far) on him, his brother Alfred, his first wife, Mary Louisa Lellyet Risien, his second wife, Emma Jane Lellyet Risien, nor a son, Alford, or a nephew, Percy Risien. I do have census information, an obituary. I have marriage records; no divorce and no death certificates. Surely, somewhere there is more information. I use Ancestry.com, GenWeb, FamilySearch. I have been to Groesbeck County Courthouse and the library (10 years ago), but was not too adept at finding information. I just looked at the GenWeb Cemetery lists and there are no Risiens. Alfred and his wife, Madora Runnels Risien both died at the turn of the century (last). No listing for them. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks so much. Frances E.

Lee Pennington Russell of Buffalo, Leon Co. Her parents were Isaac Lee and

I am almost certain Will SHELTON, 1/22/1859 - 7/9/1951 is my great uncle. He is buried at Fort Parker. My question has to do with his wife Elizabeth Jones Shelton, born c 1861. One researcher said they believed she was buried at Fort Parker. There is a M. E. Shelton listed at Fort Parker with a birth date of 6/10/1861. If this is Will's wife then possibly they are buried next to each other. Thank you for any help or information you can give me. Noel R Jones July 7, 2010 I am trying to locate the grave of Thomas A.
