At 11:38am on July 22, 2009, Lorine McGinnis Schulze said…: Khathu, That's a lovely photo you uploaded to the Group Lost Faces but it stretched. Can you resize it and upload again? There are instructions in the group titled "Uploading Photos to the Group". There is some kind of glitch in the site itself so that photos look okay in your personal albums but they stretch out of proportion in the groups unless resized.

Thanks!
Lorine

My third ggrandfather was J.P. in Red River Area. His name was John T. Clark. He was there duing the Republic days.

At 2:59pm on July 20, 2009, Liz Loveland said…: The people I am tracing in TX (collateral lines to my direct line) were in Bastrop County, TX at the same time as your ancestors. I have been spending some of my genealogy time this summer researching the social and political history of Bastrop County at that time. If you'd like me to share anything relevant that I find out with you, I'd be happy to do so.

At 1:17pm on July 18, 2009, Beverley Ferrell said…: The process for DRT or SRT is the same. You have to be able to document a direct line that was in TX between 1836-1845 while TX was a republic. This ancestor did not have to participate in the TX-MX war or any other. Just had to be direct and living in TX.

You may be able to get an application on line.

Hope this helps.

My Kelly/ey's as far back as I can go is to Samuel S. Kelly b. 1826 SC?, m. Eliza A. Hawkins b. 1826 SC. Samuel S. Kelly d. 1872 and is buried in Ball Play, Etowah Co., AL. His family removed to TX abt 1878 with married daughter and family and lived in Aubrey, Denton Co., TX. I have the children of this marriage. Looking for parents of Samuel S. Kelly. Family tradition has it that the daughter of this couple who m. Jeremiah Washington Looper in Benton/Calhoun Co., AL and came to TX was /1/2 Cherokee.

Does any of this fit with your info?
