I am a lost SKIDMORE looking for family in the Skidmore/Beeville Texas area. My father was Scott Osburn Skidmore, born in Skidmore, TX in Feb. 1902. His father was Charles Henry and mother was Bessie E. (COBB) and had an older brother Alfred E.. Father became County Commissioner in El Paso for some years. He married Jackie, who had a daughter from another marriage and they had a son Scott O. Jr., my half-brother. After moving to the Fort Worth area he changed his identity to James Weldon SHELTON. There he met my mother, Martha Annabelle (STAGGEE) EDICK, and they had me August 22, 1955. They divorced when I was 5. It wasn't until my 26th year that dad told me of his true identity. About 2 weeks after his telling me, my father was killed in an accident. He never finished the story! He died Jan. 3, 1982. I'm looking for more information. Francis O. Skidmore, founder of Skidmore, TX is my great grandfather. I wish very much to find my family. Would love to learn more about my Texas roots, sure. But the family thing is the most important thing to me now. Scottie Shelton (Facility Manager Tokai University Pacific Center, Honolulu, HI 96826) 808/983-4103

Would like to share any information on Benjamin Alexander Holt buried at Belmont Cemetery. His wife was Orean Gonzales. Believe they had 4 children.All born in TX. Mary S. Holt b.1883, Agastuis E. Holt b.1884. Bettie Jones Holt died as an infant John Benjamin Holt died as an infant. Benjamin Alexander was from Stanly Co. NC. He had a brother that lived with him in TX. named Robert Allen Holt. Both fought in the civil war from North Carolina. Do not believe Robert was ever married. If Benjamin and Oreon Holt had only 4 children. It appears 3 girls and one boy. The boy died. Wonder who the girls married??? Any help would be most welcome.Thank you. Lois Glasgow

David Johnson Wed, 25 Mar 1998 01:32:11
I am trying to determine when my GGGrandfather arrived in Texas. Joshua V. STEWART, his wife and 2 small children are in the Gonzales Co. census for 1850 (p326, Peach Creek division). The children are both listed as born in Texas. Beverly Stewart & family are on the next page, and I suspect he is a brother, since Josh named one of his sons Beverly. I have also found where Beverly Stewart is listed as owning land in 1839 in Gonzales Co. Beverly and Joshua both came from somewhere in Alabama. By 1860 Josh had moved on to Karnes Co. Would you believe it? I lived in Seguin for 7 years completely unaware that I was so close to where my GGgrandparents lived 120 years earlier. I'd appreciate any additional information you might find. Jane Caperton Johnson: email address is "3arius3@airmail.net"
