I have no records on Robert.

SHEPHEARD, Robert (I10742)

4152

I have not found a cemetery stone for Erik.

ERICKSON, Erik (I4835)

4153

I have not had much luck in tracking these girls. The last I see of Jennie, Minty and Hattie is in 1910 in Simpson County with Edgar and Della. Mary and Frances are lost after 1900 with their dad.

CARTER, Joseph B (I17702)

I have only one real reference for Sarah's age, from the 1830 census, she is either 15-20 or 30-40. Since she supposedly has a 20ish year old son, I've chosen the older bracket and estimated her birth to be 1790.
- A class of the Methodist Episcopal denomination was organized at the house of Johnson Bonham as early as 1831. Among the earliest members were Johnson Bonham and wife, Amos Bonham, Mrs. Meredith Parrish, Mrs. Addison Hampton, Nathan Frakes and wife, Mrs. William Fountain and Barna Beardsley and wife. The class was organized by Revs. Thomas Thompson and Elnathan C. Gavit. In 1851 this society built a frame church across the line in Findlay Township, which is still used by the Methodists of the neighborhood. [Putnam Co, OH]

I have quite a lot of information on the James Forrey family. James Forrey was my great grandmother's (Mary Grace) first husband. Try a search of the New Orleans, Louisiana 1880 census under the name Forey. It will list James, Mary Grace, Annie, Rose and Mary. After much research, I obtained baptismal certificates from St. Michael's Church in New Orleans for all three of the girls which gives their birth dates and their baptismal dates, along with the names of their sponsors. How do you know that James Forrey was born in County Mayo, Ireland and died in 1883? I have been searching the New Orleans Death Index, but have been unable to locate James Forrey. I know that Mary Grace married a William Murray (my great grandfather) around 1884-1885 in New Orleans and they moved to Galveston, Texas. You can locate them in the 1900 Galveston Texas Census under William Murray. That is how they ended up in Galveston. I hope someone reads this because I have been doing research for about the last year and this if the first time I have come across someone that is researching the same family I am. I hope you can e-mail me at gracesmith54 at sbcglobal.net. [deceased]

FORREY, James (I5870)

4156

I have two transcription sources that spell his middle name Bill and Bille but the original 1880 census looks like Bell to me.

BUSHONG, John Bell (I21411)

4157

I haven't been able to find anything else on Aaron and Opal.

GARDNER, Aaron (I14894)

4158

I haven't found a marriage record for them in Missouri under these names.

Family: William Marion MONTGOMERY / Hettie Frances GARDNER (F5972)

4159

I haven't found as much on William's family as I would like. The way this family moved around, I can't comfortably say that William probably died in Missouri. It's possible that he could have gone back to South Dakota, to Colorado or even Nebraska.

MCGHEE, William Taylor (I8837)

4160

I haven't located Henry's tombstone. It seems that he and Effie divorced and he remarried to Cora.

SHUMAKER, Henry Albert (I9296)

4161

I kept Isabel and Elizabeth Bell separated for 15 years simply because I was reluctant to let go. Isabel is on the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census records. On her death certificate, her name is listed as Bell Elizabeth Fincher. The 1900 Census shows her birth as Nov 1896.

ARMSTRONG, Bell Elizabeth (I40)

4162

I know that the information on Lewis and Mary is correct but I don't know that this Lewis is the son of John James Allred.

ALLRED, Lewis P (I24276)

4163

I know this is the correct information about Albert but I'm not sure the census record is our Albert.

CHAPPELL, Albert (I16056)

4164

I lost them after the 1920 census.

MELLEN, Eleanor Perry (I11298)

4165

I need to see the original marriage record.

MCGHEE, Mary Ann (I8839)

4166

I no longer know where I got Sarah's name.

PAGE, Sarah B (I9036)

4167

I no longer remember where I got this name.

BURFORD, Louis Knox (I2465)

4168

I no longer remember where I got this name.

BURFORD, Sydney Forrest (I2479)

4169

I only found the marriage license, nothing about it being solemnized.

Family: Benjamin Franklin BASKERVILLE / Mary CLARK (F2210)

4170

I only have 3 references for Jane's age, 1831, 1832 and 1840. I'm more certain of James's birthdate in 1832, so am using 1831 for Jane. It's pretty clear that these siblings didn't know each other's birthdates.

FOWLIE, Jane (I22326)

4171

I remember my Uncle Wiley, the sweetest person you could know. He had a pretty big farm and a little country general store at Blackjack, close to Troup. He was the kindest person and sold on credit and let people pay up when crops came in. My Mother has talked about walking home from school with her cousin and always stopping at Uncle Wiley's and Aunt Ota's house on the way home. Aunt Ota always kept sweet potatoes baked and on the back of the stove to keep warm so that the children could snack on them after school. [Beverly Rigsby]

SHAW, Wiley Augustus (I8569)

I shared many letters and email notes with this Grace descendant.

I still haven't sorted this out. I don't know if I have two women confused or if Annie Bell was really married three times. When I questioned her neices, they told me she was married several times and were sure about Chaney and Favers.

SHEPHEARD, Annie Bell (I2747)

4174

I think he fudged on his birth year at some point.

KIRKPATRICK, Baylor Milburn (I18505)

4175

I think he was a swindler.

SWEENY, Patrick (I16358)

4176

I think he's the John Mills living near Norman McKinnon in 1910 - Mt Enterprise.

MILLS, John Hiram (I2880)

4177

I think I've figured this out. James was living with George and Elizabeth and met Elzabeth's sister, Melissa. They also have a brother, P M Blake, who may be a twin to Melissa. Their mother remarried to a man name BLUE and had at least one more child, Margaret Blue. Sarah Blue is their mother, James and George's mother-in-law.

COON, James (I9070)

4178

I think she fibbed about her age to Lucius.

ARMSTRONG, Eliza Catherine (I23571)

4179

I think this is Alice Goodall, mother of Thomas Bates of Isanti, but I can't be certain.

???, Alice (I23776)

4180

I think this is the Harry who was listed as Pvt Harry T Haugen on the USS Zanesville Victory, saling from Liverpool, England, via Antwerp and arriving in New York on 30 Mar 1946.

Joyce's obituary names him Harold T Haugen.

HAUGEN, Harry T Jr (I18013)

4181

I think this is the Joe Canatella who died in Houston in 1944, father Pete and mother, Josephine Rappolo. Josephine later married John Commiato (both born in Italy) and lived on Telephone Road. This Joe, his mom and step-dad are buried at Garden of Gethsemane, Forest Park, Lawndale (death certificate) but Joe isn't shown at FindaGrave.

CANNATELLA, Joseph (I93)

4182

I was only able to find a death certificate for Ethel Smarrah Tindle in Dallas, Texas, that lists William Henry Hill as her father and Almeda Louisa Collard as her mother. She was born in Oklahoma in 1891.

COLLARD, Louisa Almeda (I24058)

4183

I was told that he came to Texas with his sister.
Another family member says his name was Davidson Samuel Shepheard.

SHEPHEARD, David Samuel (I1427)

4184

I was unable to locate a burial for her.

LANGLEY, Lucy Geneva (I9467)

4185

I wasn't able to find information on any of his girls.

WILLIAMS, Emmett Decatur (I18029)

4186

I wasn't able to find much on these families. Hannah is buried in Childress but I was unable to find gravesites for her husbands.

MAHURIN, Hannah (I11645)

4187

I wasn't able to find much on this couple; perhaps they had no children.

I'm almost positive that this is our Josiah. The official record says he died on 5 Sep at Lovejoy Station but this put his deathon the 6th near Jonesborough:

CAMP ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH OHIO, Decatur, Ga., September 9, 1864.
SIR: In accordance with orders, I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of my command from August 15 to September 8, 1864:
August 15, my command was in position on right of Second Brigade, a point about three miles southwest of East Point, Ga. Remained in this position until the 18th, receiving a few shells from the enemy's batteries in our front, and furnishing details to build a line of works in our rear. On the 18th we advanced our line and moved about brigade distance to right, confronting a line of rebel works. On 19th went south and east about two and a half miles with balance of division, returning to camp at night. Repeated the same move on 20th; remained until 23d, when One hundred and eleventh Ohio went out on Campbellton road five miles on foraging expedition, returning in evening. Remained in this position until August 28, when we moved out at sunset on Sandtown road, three miles to Mount Gilead Church, and camped for the night. On evening of 29th moved south-southeast about two miles and went into position one mile and a half from West Point railroad and fourteen miles from Atlanta.
On 30th marched east; struck the West Point railroad; went into position; had some skirmishing in front; position east of railroad and five miles south of East Point. August 31, moved out at 6 a. m. Moved south about two and a half miles; turned and marched north-northeast till reached line of works built by rebels previous evening, where we rested for the night.
On September 1 moved out at daybreak, marching east; struck Macon railroad after marching two and a half miles; destroyed track at Red Oak Station and moved south along railroad to within two and a half miles of Jonesborough, where One hundred and eleventh Ohio went out a mile in advance on reconnaissance; returned to brigade and went into position at dark. On September 2 marched by a circuitous route about ten miles and reached point near Lovejoy's Station and went into position on left of Fourth Corps. At dark were under fire somewhat, as Fourth Corps were engaged with enemy as we went into position. On September 3 we changed position, retiring our left and building a line of works. Remained in this position (being considerably exposed to shell and musketry) until 9 p. m. of September 5, when we moved out, marching all night, and going into camp two and a half miles from Jonesborough on the morning of the 6th. Left this camp 11 a. m. on 7th and marched to within seven miles of Decatur, where we camped for night. On the 8th we reached Decatur at 12 m.
My casualties are: Killed-Josiah M. Kepler, first sergeant Company E, on September 6.
I am, very respectfully, your most obedient servant,
ISAAC R. SHERWOOD,
Lieut.-Col., Cmdg.
Lieut. S. H. HUBBELL.

I'm assuming John was born and died between census records so the only record of him is in George's (1849-1943) obituary. He could have been born at any time during the childbearing years of Elizabeth.

COON, John (I23165)

4191

I'm fairly certain that Lucius only fathered children with Ruth, I know he and Eliza had no children.

MCGHEE, Lucius Henry (I8840)

4192

I'm fairly certain that this is the Lydia who married John Nicholas in 1877 in Dubuque County. If so, she is on the census as being born in Wisconsin until 1920.

MCKINNIS, Lydia (I23489)

4193

I'm fairly certain this is the George who died in 1921 at Paris and is listed at Oakdale Cemetery in Union County at FindaGrave. His death certificate says Oak Dale Cemetery.

DEE, George (I8827)

4194

I'm guessing they divorced.

ARP, Jewel M (I18859)

4195

I'm guessing they had a daughter who married Elijah Bell, had two children and then died.

JONES, John B (I5614)

4196

I'm no longer sure if he died in Wheeling, WV, Marshall County, VA, or Wheeling Creek, PA.

FARLEY, Capt Andrew (I11452)

4197

I'm not 100% sure this is the right person but based it on the middle name.

I'm not actually related to Hiram but his story fascinates me. He's a distant first cousin to my children. He had two (known) children and it doesn't look like he raised either of them but I don't hold it against him. Either he or Mr Hinkle was a great story-teller. Hiram had no sister named Edith who married a movie star unless it was very late in life.

Killed a man from Teague in 1910 over a dog fight in which the other man's dog was killed. [Mr Whitt was actually killed in 1907 (from his g-grandchild).]

From an article on the Internet, MILT HINKLE by Kerry Ross Boren
With Milt in South America was one of his best friends, a superb cowboy named Harry Smith. His real name was Harum Sterling, and he had good-cause to change his name, for he had killed a man in 1911. He took the name Harry Smith because he had his initials, H.S., tattooed on his left arm.
Harry walked into a livery stable at Mexia, Texas, followed by his dog, Old Pal. The livery owner didn't like Harry's dog, half-bulldog, half-leopard spotted cow-dog, and he opened a box stall and released his own pit-fighting bulldog which had killed six other pit bulls in matches. Old Pal began to get the best of the pit bull, and the owner picked up a pitchfork with which to stab the dog. Harry took the pitchfork away from him, and the man ran into his office and retrieved a six-gun. Harry was faster and shot the man in the heart. Old Pal killed the bulldog, too, and two witnesses saw it all.
Harry left Texas and joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and while with the show married Goldie Griffith, the Champion Cowgirl Bucking Horse Rider of the World, on horseback at the old Madison Square Garden. (Ironically, at about the same time, Harry's sister, Edythe Sterling, was marrying silent film cowboy actor and rodeo cowboy Art Acord on horseback in the arena of the Pioneer Days Rodeo in Salt Lake City.)
Harry joined the Miller Brothers 101 Wild West Show in 1913. On October 13, 1913, a rainy day in Houston, Texas, Milt Hinkle stepped down from his gray horse to find the guns of two big detectives. Because he was wearing white Angora chaps, such as Harry Smith wore, they mistook him for Harry. A lady pointed out that they had the wrong man, and, pointing at Harry, said, "That's the one!" Harry tried to duck under the sidewall of a tent and one of the policemen aimed at him with his gun. "For some reason," wrote Milt, "I bumped into the cop as he Pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Harry in the left leg high up, but it didn't stop him. He made his way to the stock cars.
"When we loaded the horses, Chester Byers and Amos Clayton saw him and got him to lay low, and when the train was loaded, Chester and Clayton put him in an empty boxcar that was marked dead-head to Chicago. They gave Harry two bottles of milk and some bread, and he arrived four days later in Chicago where his wife lived with her mother. Goldie cut the bullet out of his hip."
After Harry healed, he decided to join Milt and the 101 Show in South America to let things cool down in the States. We came the last Sunday night performance of the show in Buenos Aires, Milt was getting ready to leave for the Casey ranch. E Bowman and Harry Smith were going with him, and they started to drive Milt's stock out of the horse tent when Ed Arlingtoy appeared and demanded $100 for a feed bill. Milt lost his temper and cursed the man whom had used the horses for free and now demanded a feed bill be paid for them.
Milt directed Ed Bowman and Harry Smith to proceed with the horses. At this point, Tantlinger and Bob Anderson-the latter of whom had been feuding with Milt-and several others stepped in and tried to stop Harry Smith. Ed Arlington yelled out, loud enough for all to hear "Harry, you know you're wanted in the United States for murder, so you'd better watch what you do."
Harry yelled back, just as loud, "And I'll be wanted for murder in this country, too if you don't get out of my way!"
"I saw that Harry was so mad he had tears in his eyes, and I knew this to be a danger point, so I told him to keep moving. Harry had made several friends while with the show, but one in particular that he went around with. They had been to parties together and got to be pretty good pals, and just about the time our departure caused such a ruckus, up stepped this friend of Harry's, and he proceeded to take command. First, he told the gaucho to get off his horse, and then he mounted and rode over to me. He took my 30-30, and I saw that he also had a pistol. His instructions then were, 'Let's ride!'
"By this time the police had arrived, but so had Mr. Casey, and when he spoke to the police, they stepped back, so we rode out of the Park with no more trouble.
"I think I should explain here that the man who gave the command, 'Let's ride,' had been one of the lieutenants of the well known Butch Cassidy Gang, and he had heard this same command given many times by Butch when he headed his notorious band of desperadoes who robbed banks and trains, and stole cattle. His hideout was in the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming, and since he was one of Cassidy's head men, he had come to Argentina with much wealth. Here he had lived as a ranchman for several years....
"We made the trip cross-country to the Casey ranch without any trouble, taking two and one-half days. I did not know who Harry's friend was who helped us the night we left the Park, until Harry told me....
"When my good friends, Harry Smith and Ed Bowman, left me, after helping me bring my stock to the Casey ranch, I gave each one of them a good saddle horse. They went with the friend of Butch Cassidy to his spread near Bahia Blanca, where they were to break horses and skin wild cattle for their hides. It was some time before I saw them again."
Privately, Milt revealed to me the identity of Cassidy's lieutenant: he was none other than Harvey Logan, a.k.a. Kid Curry. Later this was confirmed for me by Logan's grandson, Duane Moran, who verified that Kid Curry-known in south America as Andrew Duffy-married an Argentinean girl and fathered eight children before dying of natural causes at the age of seventy-nine on his estancia near Bahia Blanca.
Milt trailed a herd for Reginald Casey across the Pampas from Las Heras, across the Rio Choco north to the town of Las Plumas, to the Rio Chubut (where Butch and Sundance had established their ranch in 1902), eventually arriving at the Casey ranch at Santa Rosa in February 1914.
Mr. Casey talked Milt into staying in Argentina for a while and trying his hand at ranching. They had been having dinner at a lavish nightclub when Casey made the offer. "Mr. Casey... told me that he had just received word that Tex Rickard had sailed for the States, having sold his interest to the company he worked for. While in South America, Tex had made his headquarters in Buenos Aires, and he and Mr. Casey were pretty good friends.... Now that Tex had sailed for the States, Mr. Casey said that Tex had left plenty of cheap land that could be bought, also that it was all good cattle country, and that the price of that land would be high just as soon as the railroad, which Tex had gotten started before he left, was finished."
Tex Richard owned, in addition to the property in Argentina, a huge estancia in Paraguay. His Argentine holdings had been acquired for him by none other than Butch Cassidy, who also held a percentage interest in the ranch operations. But Cassidy and Rickard had decided to go into partnership in a mining venture at Goldfield, Nevada, and so sold out in South America. Rickard is best known as a promoter, having promoted such championship boxing matches as the Jeffries-Johnson fight at Reno, Nevada, on July 4, 1910. Rickard numbered among his friends, in addition to Butch Cassidy, Wyatt Earp, and Bat Masterson. He was once rumored to have married lady outlaw Etta Place, but though he knew her, no such marriage occurred.
Milt Hinkle returned to the United States with a new title, by which he would be known ever after-The South American Kid.
There was an aftermath to this story that bears repeating. In the mid 1920s, Milt returned to Buenos Aires with Art Acord's wild west Show. Art Acord, a Utah cowboy who became a western movie star rival of Tom Mix, had first married the sister of Harum Sterling, alias Harry Smith, and later Louise Lorraine, who played the first "Jane" in the Tarzan movies opposite Elmo Lincoln.
There was quite a gathering at the Sportivia that year as some members of the Wild Bunch assembled to participate in Art's show. The livestock was provided by Kid Curry from his estancia at Bahia Blanca, and Butch Cassidy was also present as a spectator.
When the show closed, the "boys" had a wild party, and there was some inebriated reminiscing, during which Art Acord's wife's nephew---of whom he had charged questioned whether Butch and his friends had ever held up a bank. The youth's doubt soon grew into a challenge. Under the leadership of Butch Cassidy-now approaching sixty years of age-the men organized a "gang," sort of a "Wild Bunch IL" and rode to an outlying town in Argentina. The "gang" consisted of Butch Cassidy; Kid Curry; Art Acord; Art's nephew, Harry Smith; Clay McGonigal; and-Milt Hinkle.
The result of the escapade was a daring daylight bank robbery. "It was the damnedest and most foolish stunt I ever pulled," Milt said. "I had never done anything like that before, and I sure as hell never did anything like that again!"
The story of Milt Hinkle cannot be told in one installment. His life was an incredible series of events and adventures. He was a bronc rider, bulldogger, steer-roper, rodeo clown, movie actor, range cowboy, boxer, wrestler, stage performer, rancher, stunt rider, promoter, and much, much more. The stories are legion. There was the time he bull dogged a steer from an airplane in Mexico for the benefit of Pancho Villa, and drove his hip bone out of the socket (In later years, he had to walk with the aid of a crutch.), and was nursed to health by Etta Place. Then there was the time that he worked in films with Charlie Chaplin. Mae West once invited him to "come on up and see me sometime," and there was the time he boxed with the champ, Max Baer, and. well, you get the idea.
There was a great day in my life, too ---the day I met Milt Hinkle. I have no doubt that my great old friend is somewhere up there in that Big Range in the Sky, riding point for the Boss of the outfit.
