Am looking for more information on a Hale C. EUBANKS Was listed in 1880 census for Limestone co. He was 25 years old married to Neley with a 5 year old daughter Ruthy. I believe this Hale to be a son of an Alfred and Jane Eubanks from Cooke Co.

My father, J.D.

I am trying to find out who my great grandparents were, William Byron BU RLESON's father and mother. I do know that William Byron BURLESON had a drug store and barber shop in Cooledge, Texas and that is where my father grew up. J.D. BURLESON's siblings were Jesse BURLESON, Margaret Ruth BURLESON, Josheph BURLESON. My father to ld me that as a young man he remembers a family relative visiting his home that was connected to Baylor University, in Waco, Texas. My father attended Baylor in Waco and Dallas, to become a Dentist. Any help on this family information would be greatly app reciated. Beverly Slagle bslagle@ibm.net
