Could someone please lookup the 1870 Gonzales Co. census for me? There's a possibility that my great-grandfather was there in 1870.... his name is John P. MONTGOMERY. I believe there is an John P.Montgomery listed on the census. He would be listed as a child of another Montgomery. Need to know all the information that is listed for him.....Father, Mother, siblings, ages and birthplaces. Thank you for your help. T. Justus

Looking for info on Thomas ALSUP and Joel Alsup, who are said to be listed in the 1860 census of Gonzles Co. or Guadalupe Co. Am searching in particularly for 3 children who were children of Eliza A.E. Alsup DETHROW and Elias Samuel Dethrow. The father sent the children to family and/or neighbors after their mother died in 1859. Possible that they were raised by Eliza's siblings. The children were: Mary A. Dethrow (b1849 in MS); Susan Dethrow (b 1852 in MS); and Thomas Dethrow (b 1853 in MS). When father came back to get the children, the children were no where to be found in MS. Alsup family members were in Gonzales and Guadalupe Counties in Texas by 1860. I have not seen this census, so would appreciate a lookup of that census. Thank you.

Sandra McGill Tue, 18 Apr 2000 23:33:33
George Samuel McGILL - b: April 22, 1881 in Hallettsville, Texas (Lavaca County); m: Deadro Sylvester (Eddie) Halliburton July 17, 1906 in Waelder, Texas (Gonzales County); d: October 2, 1949 in Austin, Texas (Travis County). I have records for the above plus that he owned land in Gonzales County. Relatives tell me George Samuel he had two sisters, Molly who never married and Willie who married someone named French. Can't find any records on them. Relatives say George Samuel's father (No one knows his name) owned some Indian slaves and lived somewhere in East Texas. They also tell me that the slaves are buried on his property there. There is an old picture with a sign in it that says McGill Reservation. They think he might have been part Indian or married an Indian woman. If anyone researching the McGills, might have any information that could get me out of the three above-mentioned counties it would be truly appreciated. There are McGill's all over Texas but cannot seems to connect them to George Samuel. The few remaining relatives are in their 90's and don't know how accurate they are with their stories. If anyone thinks they may be able to give me a lead please e-mail me at smcgill@flash.net. Any information you might have would help. Thanks. Sandi
