I am looking for the long lost brother of my greatgrandfather, Morgan COLTRANE b. abt 1819 Grayson (now Carroll) Co VA. He served as a 2nd Sgt 24th Va Infantry in the War of Southern Independence. After the War he "moved to Texas" and out of sight. I just found a M Coltrane in the 1870 census for Karnes Co. Is this him? After 1870 he is said to have moved to and farmed in Gonzales Tx and died there. Any thing you can give me on the Coltranes in Texas would be appreciated. Thanks!

MOORE, William Thomas b1869 Flint River GA  d 9-23-1940 Houston TX and Minnie McFARLANE b3-16-1888 Navasota TX d3-15-1962. My paternal grandparents were married at the RICHARZ home (her cousins) in Houston, TX on 4-28-1918 and immediately moved to Gonzales to the home of Mrs. H. REESE, Sr.  A newspaper clipping  that I have from the Gonzales Inquirer states that he was "overseer at the Gonzales Cotton Mills......has been connected with the Mills since last summer".  My grandmothers parents were Young BOWERS and Elizabeth Catherine MOORE (hopefully no relation to my grandfather!). Young is mentioned in the 1901 Gonzales Inquirer, through this site, as having shot someone!!  I'm really interested in any info on William Thomas Moore.  After my father died, I discovered that he had a much older brother, who for some reason was kept a family secret. Any info on W.T.Moore's "first" family would be appreciated. Please E-Mail me at.... harlow2c@citizen.infi.net ... thanks, Diane.
