Searching for Rebecca Jane Austin, born ca.1854 in Caddo Parish, LA.
Parents were Green Austin (ca. 1828 in either AR or GA) and Martha ? (ca.
1827 in either AR or LA).
Rebecca married a man named Hearne. She was in 1880 U.S. Census as a 26
yr old widow with 4 children. She was in the 1870 Census as a 16 yr old
living with her parents. So, some time between 1870 and 1876, she
married, had four children and was widowed.
Children were William G. Hearne, born 1872
Joseph Samuel Hearne, born 1873
Martha Carolyne Hearne, born 10 Feb 1875 (my grandmother)
Susan N. Hearne, born 1876
I have not been able to find out the first name of Hearne. He was
supposed to have died in a "whittling" accident. Any help you
can give me would be appreciated.

Rhoda was born 1/7/1932 in Plain Dealing, LA. Her parents were Tom
William Bailey b. 6/8/1879 in KS and Bettie HUDSON b. 1903 in
Harrisville, MS. After Rhoda's birth the family moved to Wash. state
(around the Tacoma area) in the early 1940's. Rhoda's parents split up
and Rhoda and her mother moved to the Denver, CO area. We believe Rhoda

Greetings!
My three-great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson BOZEMAN, married his
second wife, Elizabeth Ford, in Caddo Parish in 1845. A widower,
TJ already had three children by his first wife. He and Elizabeth
had two children while still in Caddo Parish, Melissa A ( Oct 1846)
and Thomas William (Oct 1848). They subsequently moved on west to
TX, NM and finally Central CA. They had five more children:
Eurettasy, Henry Richard, Susan, Martha and Mary.
I would like to ID Elizabeth's parents and siblings. She was born
in GA in 1825, according to census records. I hope perhaps the
marriage record will reveal her parents and that perhaps they will
still be in Caddo Parish on the 1850 census.
Thank you so much for your courtesy and assistance.

Am researching my maternal side of the family. My grandmother's maiden
name was
Minnie HUGHES, although the 1910 census shows her name as Nancy HUGHES,
to my
knowledge she never went by the name of Nancy HUGHES. She was also
married to
a Tim DRAPER. I have no idea when or anything about him. She had one
daughter, Siberia SHEPHERD or SHEPPARD. Siberia SHEPHERD/SHEPPARD (now
deceased)
was my mother. My mother's father (my grandfather) was Doll
SHEPHERD/SHEPPARD.
I don't know if that was his real name but that's the only thing I ever
heard anyone
call him, and he was always "Grandpa Doll" to us. I don't
think that Minnie HUGHES
and Doll SHEPHERD/SHEPPARD were ever married.
Nancy "Minnie" HUGHES' father was Forrest HUGHES and her
mother's maiden name
was Lou/Louisa/Lulu BROOKS. Forrest and Lou/Louisa/Lulu HUGHES also had
the
following children in addition to my grandmother:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dan HUGHES, Mattie HUGHES, Reubin HUGHES, Ike HUGHES, Mary HUGHES,
Phoebia/Phoebie HUGHES, Jack HUGHES, Emma HUGHES, Lula or Louisa HUGHES,
Clara HUGHES
-------------------------------------------------------------
Minnie HUGHES married Kemp PUGH around 1943. They owned property in
Vivian
(Caddo Parish), Louisiana. They didn't have a farm but my step-
grandfather,
Kemp PUGH always grew a very big garden and sold his vegetables to the
stores
in downtown Vivian. After Kemp PUGH died, Minnie PUGH moved the house
off
the land that she and Kemp had owned for so many years to a place in
Vivian
known as Solley Hill.
Is anyone researching any of these names? If so, or if someone can
provide me
with any kind of information on any of these names I'd appreciate it.
