I am looking for information on the CULPEPPERS, who lived at Morales de Lavaca in Jackson County in 1860. It appears from the 1860 Census that my G-Grandfather ( Hiram EMMONS) and his children were living in the same household with this family. I am told that there is a Culpeppers family that has lived in Gonzales County since the 1880's. Does anyone have any info on the history of this family? Bill K -AZ

I am interested in obtaining information about the August MEYER family. I understand his grandson's wife, Fannie Meyer, did a lot of research and that some of the information is on file in the Gonzales County history book. Since this is all new to me I don't know what records might be available. We do know about the family cemetary at Belmont. If we were to visit Gonzales, what records would we find. Fannie traced the family tree; is this information on file? To further aid you in answering my questions, August Meyer was married to Anna ZUMBERGE Meyer. After August's death, Anna married Jonathon Ramsey KEITH. Thank you for any help you came give me to help me get started with my research. Wanda Myers, ronwanda@pyramid3.com

I am trying to find out more information about my ancestor, Toliver FERGUSON (b abt 1800 TN). Through the LDS site, I have found a Toliver Ferguson who marries #1-Rebecca J. CLARK in Matazorda Co, TX in 1839 and #2-Lucindy A. GILBREATH in Gonzales CO, TX in 1845 and also a listing in the Gonzales Co Probate Book A (Entry # 134) for a Toliver Ferguson. I am trying to find out if this Toliver Ferguson found in TX is the same person as my Toliver Ferguson of TN. I really appreciate any help you can give me. Evidently Toliver left his wife and children in TN and headed west to TX between 1838-1839, as there is no record of him in TN. (His TN wife did have 2 sons born between 1835-1839). Thanks! Sherri F. Draper

WENSKE, Paul and Thelma SCHWAB Wenske. I am trying to find where they are buried in Gonzales. He died October 1984 in Gonzales, she died in May 1990 in Parker County. I assume she was carried back to Gonzales. They were long time members of First Baptist Church in Gonzales and he was a Deacon there. They lived right in town. She decorated and made specialty cakes for weddings, etc. They didnot have any children. He was a rural carrier for Post Office. Will appreciate any information you may have or can find.

I am doing research on Edward ANDREWS who I believe lived many years, probably mid 60's until his death in the mid 90's in Gonzales. His last few months were spent in a nursing home in/near Gonzales which is where I believe he died. I know he was cremated locally and his wife Sara (sally) moved to somewhere in Ak where she died in early 2000. If you have any information on Ed Andrews from a death certificate or such I would greatly appreciate it. Also, should anyone be looking for information on Ed or Sally, pls send them my way and I would be happy to share my information. Ed was my grandfather. Regards; John E. O'Bryan

Linda Wheeland Fri, 30 Mar 2001 14:30:26
My husband's great grandfather lived in Gonzales County and we think he died there. His name was Frederick WIELAND, the last name was changed to WHEELAND but it might have been after he died, since his widow started getting his Civil War pension check in 1907, he must have died at least after 1900. He was from Switzerland. Thank you so much. Linda Wheeland
