Looking for any info concerning parents/siblings of Rosalia NEWMAN b. 1860 probably in Mississippi. She married Eugenio DE LEON in Seguin, Guadalupe Co., TX in 1880. Since I've not had any luck within Guadalupe Co., I'm now trying the surrounding counties. Rosalia may have had a sister named Isabel who married someone with last name of ACOSTA and another sister, first name illegible, who married someone with last name of GARZA. This last information taken from a very poor copy of the Seguin Parish records which named them as godparents at time of 2 of Rosalia's childrens' baptisms. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seeking family links and origin of Tabitha C. BURTON referred to in 21 Feb 1833 prenuptial agreement with David GREEN in Shelbyville, BedfordCo,TN (witnessed by James CUNNINGHAM). Burton could be maiden or married name. Tabitha Burton had either a sister or daughter named Louisa Burton (m. Charles Lewis, Charles and Louisa lived in AR). Tabitha had a daughter, Ann Roseanna RANDLE (b. 1821 in TN; d. 1851 in GonzalesCo,TX) in an earlier marriage presumably with husband named Randle. David Green was known as an "Irish Gambler" by later family members, he was a widower with six children when he married Tabitha Burton. David and Tabitha Green had a verified son Little Berry Green (b. 1834 Shelbyville, Bedford Co, TN; d. GonzalesCo,TX 1900; m. Sarah Ann Burkett GonzalesCo 1855). Little Berry had a brother (full or half) named Burton. Little Berry and possibly Burton Green moved to GonzalesCo, Texas before 1855. How, with whom and by what route did the pair come to Texas, what happened to Burton Green in Texas?
