James & John TUMLINSON settled in what was known as the DeWitt Colony around 1823 per land records. James and his wife, Elizabeth PLEMMONS Tumlinson, also had ties to Austin Colony, but they are not listed among the "Old 300". James & John Tumlinson and several of their descendents were what we now call 'Texas Rangers'. I am especially interested in this bit of history.

In the listing of the Saturn Cemetery in Gonzales Co. Texas, there is a James P. SIMMONS and Virginia Simmons. I believe these to be my great grandparents. I don't have any information on them except that James P. was born in Mississippi in 1840 and V. Simmons (his wife) was born in Mississippi in 1860. It would be helpful if you provide the dates of their death along with any other information that may be available to you. Nothing will be insignificant. Warm Regards, Charles Simmons, Arlington, TX

I graduated from Wills Point, Van Zandt County. Texas High School with John Roland HAND in 1942. For a number of years he lived at Route One Nixon. Texas. A reentry mailed invitation to attend the 59th Class Reunion to that address was returned marked "Forwarding Time Expired". I tried to call him and the telephone number has been recently assigned to someone else. Nixon is near the County line between Gonzales County and Guadalupe County and not far from Karnes County. We would like very much to contact this individual or to learn what had happened to him. I made a telephone directory On Line search and they list the same number we had. This leads me to believe that he lived there until not very long ago. Any help you can give will be very much appreciated by 71 surviving members of this class of 98 graduates. We are planning to try to have 100 % attendance of our living graduates for the 60th anniversary to be held next year. We want to have a special memorial for those not surviving.

My g-g-grandmother, Susan Amanda WALTON died on Aug 18, 1859, possibly giving birth to her daughter Susan. Her husband was William Issac Walton and they had a son William Henry Walton who had also been born in Belmont. I am wondering if there are any newspaper records reporting the death, hopefully listing her surviving family, husband and son, plus father, mother, sisters and/or brothers, as well as place of birth, etc. My sincere thanks, Walt Russell -- russwsr@aol.com

I would like some direction in how to find my grandparents background. Both were born in Gonzales, TX. They say they are Cherokee but do not have papers to prove this. It's very hard to get information from them. My grandfather's name was Simon GALINDO he was born Feb.18 1910 in Gonzales, TX in a town called Nuezes. His parents were Stevon Galindo and Francisca ROBLES. My grandmother's name is Fidela Galindo. She was born April 24 1915, in Gonzales, also in the town of Nuezes. Her father's name was Edwardo SAUCEDO and her mother's name was Natividad. I don.t know her last name because she passed away when my grandmother was about 3 years old. Thank you.

I am doing research on my Great Grandparents William E. and Dora Bell STEPHENS who are buried in Carlton, Texas. I have found a lot of information about William E.'s father Barnabus and have documents from Barnabus (Eli's son) to his son, William Eli Stephens. Eli and his family have information in the History of Gonzales County book. I would like to extend the search for Dora SHULER since I have found that Adaline Malissa (1837) daughter of Eli Stevens/Stephens married a Daniel Shuler in 1857. Also Harriett Jane (1835) married Hayne Shuler 1856. If Barnabus' sisters married into the Shuler family and later my Great Grandfather married Dora Bell Shuler maybe they were from Gonzales. I am also looking for the connection if any of Elisha and Eli Stephens both in Gonzales in the 1840's. The Stevens' arrived in Texas in 1826 according to the Texas Handbook on line ([they didn't mention first names), but Eli and the Merrill Smith wagon train arrived in 1846 I have learned. Which Steven's arrived early on and were they related to Eli Stephens (1792-1867) is one of my questions? Eli's father was William (born after 1750) son of Barnabus (1734). Eli and his son Barnabus were here in Texas but I was wondering if Eli's father William was ever here in Texas? Any information on the Stephens family in addition to what is in the Gonzales County History book would be welcome. I have not looked for the Shuler family in the book at the library but will be going back again soon. I am in San Antonio and we have a good Texana and Genealogy section. Thank you for any information that you can steer me to. Pat Corn

They had three more born in Wisconsin, Robert, Maggie and Anna. They lived in Gonzales, TX dis.71 census 1880. I am trying to determine if their Robert was the Robert H.

FREEZE, Richard F. and Thomas F.(Sr.) . From Georgia to Texas before 1919 (Thomas F. Jr. - was born in TX in 1919). Thomas came to Texas to join his brother Richard.

Thomas also lived in Vega, TX. Around 1923 Thomas and family moved back to Georgia but Richard stayed in TX. I have found a Richard F. Freeze buried in Saturn Cemetary in Gonzales Co.
