I am in Florida but I am trying to find a record of a marriage that I believe
took place in Shreveport in 1981 or '82. Unfortunately, I only have the

Subject: Shelton in Caddo Census
Hi John,
I would very much appreciate it if you could look for my G-Grandmother
in the Caddo Parish census. Her name is Mary Elizabeth Shelton, and went
by Mollie. Her headstone here in Houston has her middle name as Ann and
nobody seems to know if her middle name was Ann or Elizabeth. Anyway,
she was born 1-21-1892 in Smith co, Tx. My grandmother said she was
orphaned at an early age and raised by grandparents, she believes the
Shelton side of the family. Nobody seems to know her parents names or
her grandparents names. Granny remembers that Mollie's grandmother was
part Indian, probably Choctaw, and had long black hair. I don't know if
she had any siblings. I have looked through the Tx. and La. Census for
1900 and have not had any luck. Granny also said that Mollie grew up in
Vivian, La. and married Robert 'Bob' Edward Kyle in the same town. That
is why I am looking in Caddo Parish. If this is too much trouble don't
worry about it. I just was hoping that a fresh pair of eyes may see
something I missed.
My grandfather's mother was a Walker and was born in Shreveport. I am
told they had alot of family in that area and were merchants. Any help
on my Shelton problem would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob Baldwin

Subject: Perry Family
I am serching for information on Malachi Perry married to Suzanne Hoffpauir.
I have their original succession which shows the JUDGMENT OF POSSESSION to
have been filed in Bossier Parish in 1960.
Previous research shows Malachi was born in 1845 and Suzanne in 1846. I am
descended through his son Ahaz or "Hazzie" who was married to Marinda
Dickerson. Judging by the time at which this succession was filed, I believe
it is obvious that the surviving children of Malachi and heirs of the deceased
brothers and sisters forced the judgement for a certain parcel of property.
The oldest surviving child of Lloyd Perry, son of Ahaz, told me in an
interview that his grandfather owned a gravel pit "way up north somewhere, way
past Shreveport." The succession shows that one of Malachi's daughter's
Elvina Perry Rheems, was still a resident of Bossier Parish at the time the
succession was filed, as was grandsons, Elliot Hoffpauir and Sammie Hoffpauir,
children of Lucinda Perry married to Archibald "Archie" Hoffpauir. Nathan
Perry, son of Malachi, and a resident of Bossier Parish, deceased at the time
the succession was filed, is shown as having sold his 1/8th interest to his
sister, Lucinda.
The tract of land shown in the succession is shown as:
"That certain tract or parcel of land situated in Bossier Parish, La. being
the NW Quarter of the Northeast Quarter (NW 1/4 of NE 1/4) and the North Half
(N 1/2) of a tract of land beginning at a stake 10 Chains West of the East
Line of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (SE 1/4 of SW 1/4) of
Section 4 and 10 Chains North of the South Line of said Section, thence
running South 3 degrees 45 minutes West through the Northeast Quarter of the
Northwest Quarter (NE 1/4 of NW 1/4) and the Southeast Quarter of the
Northwest (SE 1/4 of NW 1/4) and the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest
Quarter (NE 1/4 of SW 1/4), Section 9, until it intersects Harrington Branch,
thence down said branch intil it intersects the East Line of said Sixteenth
Section, thence North 72 Chains 50 Links until you are 10 Chains North of the
South Line of said Section 4, thence West to the point of beginning. (Whew!
That's a mouth full!) The said property also being known as Tract 3 of Page
44 of the Ward 5 Tax Assessor's Block Book System, and Tract 11 of page 39 of
WArd 5 Tax Asssessor's Block Book System; and the Southeast Quarter of the
Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (SE 1/4 of SE 1/4 of SW 1/4,
Section 4, Township Twenty-One North, Range 12, West, Louisiana Meridian, and
containing 80 acres, more or less, with any and all improvements situated
thereon."
Now, since I have never been north of I-10 by auto, I haven't the vaguest idea
where this is!!
And since I don't do directions very well, I don't know, maybe my internal
compass is out whack, I would never be able to track this down.
What can you do to help me find additional information concerning this family
or the property described? If you at least point me in the right direction, I
would be so thankful!
Thank you, John, in advance for anything you can lead me to.

Subject: Caddo Parish Reference Lookups
Dear Mr. Prime: My gggrandfather, Andrew Venable, b 2 Aug 1805, SC,
d 11 Dec 1853 Shreveport, LA. He & his family lived in Tyler, TX,
and I do not know why he was in LA. The administrator of his estate
was reimbursed for his "funeral expenses & expenses of last sickness
in Shreveport." There was a handwritten document in the settlement
of the estate for "damage to bedroom & bedding", "coffin", "carrying
casket to grave", "nurse" & "physicians bill", but no mention of
funeral home or cemetery. Would there have been a newspaper that may
have carried an obit? I do not know the circumstances of the "last
sickness", but if it were under criminal circumstances, would there
be any court records? Was there a cemetery that someone would have
been buried under these conditions? I have been to Tyler, but there
was no obit in their records. His wife, Mary Ann was living in Tyler,
as were his sons, James William, Oliver H.P., Hugh, John Brison and
daughter, Jane. I am trying to learn of the cemetery where he is
buried, but I doubt that there was a marker, although his wife and
sons, Oliver and John Brison returned to Alabama about 1858. Maybe
they placed one when they went through LA. I called the Shreve
Memorial Library, but the genealogist was not able to help me. I
believe she stated that there was not a newspaper in 1853. Any
consideration toward this request will be greatly appreciated. Or
any suggestions. Thank you.

Subject: death certificate records
My great grandfather, John Smith ( possible Schmidt,Schmitt,etc.), did in
Shreveport in the early 1900's. This is basically the only information we
know. He went by the name of John Smith here in Avoyelles Parish. He married
or we assume he did, our great grandmother Adele Guillot Marcelle in the late
1860's or early 1870's. My grand father Curry Smith was born on April 10,
l875. He had an older sister (Lena) and a younger one.
Great grandfather left here and moved to Shreveport where we assume he went to
work in his chosen profession of shoe making. When he died, a package of
clothes was forwarded to my grandfather thereby signifying that he maintained
some sort of record regarding his family.
This is about all we know, except the fact that he came directly from Germany.
He served in the U. S. military after leaving Germany to avoid doing so.
Would you be able to help me possibly locate a death certificate which would
enable me to secure more information.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I am thinking that Shreveport may
have been large enough to require occupational licenses at that time for
businesses and that maybe the Verterans Administration Hospital may have some
record.
Please let me hear form you.

Hello John Andrew!!
Happy July 4th, hope you have a nice holiday. Wish I could be in Shreveport
celebrating with my family and eat some catfish. Yum! These Yankees up here
don't know what they are missing. I did want to touch base and see if
anything had turned up no the conveyance record search on the Poirier girls
- Susan Uraine and Virginia. Karla and I are still corresponding and
researching. I talked with the Desoto Parish Clerk of Court about
guardianship records but she said if they had them they would be sealed.
I'm not sure she understood what I was looking for. Well keep in touch.
Thanks.

Subject: Marriage Record
Hi John,
I was wondering if Marriage records were available at the Caddo Parish
Courthouse. I will be happy to pay you to obtain a copy (or the
original if they have it) and mail it to me.
I have received a very appreciated "Look-up" from 'Coustaut' stating
that my great uncle A.D. Ivey married Nancy Mitchell 8/21/1854 in Caddo
Parish. His full name is Adolphus Drew Ivey.
If you would like to email me the cost for your doing this for me, I
will be happy to send the payment in advance.
Also, if you have knowledge of other records in that area on my Ivey
family, and if it wouldn't be very expensive (old lady on fixed
income) I would be happy to pay a reasonable fee for them.
I do not know where they originated from, or parents name. The only
info I have on my Ivey family is the name of my great grandfather,
Marcus L. Ivey and his brother A.D. Ivey. M.L. Ivey moved to Cherokee
Co, TX and married Usley Hill, and that's where my grandfather Thomas L.
Ivey was born. I had found the Confederate Widow's Pension for the wife
of A.D. and that's what led me to Caddo Parrish, LA.
Thank you for any information, advice, or assistance you might give
me.
TIA,
Alta Schmer

Hello,
I am currently researching my CONEY family and was wondering if you could do some look-ups for me. My gr grandfather was Alexander Kaufman CONEY
born April 1, 1847 - His father was Kaufman CONEY - (no information found)
and his mother was Louisa Lee (Farnsworth) CONEY.
Louisa was found on the Sheveport (Caddo Parish) census for 1850 as head of household - Alexander was 3yrs of age. Kaufman CONEY was not listed -and I have been unable to find out any information on him.
My gr grandfather has some history behind him, he was the purser for the steamer "City of Havana" in New Orleans. He is considered a Hero in Mexican History books for Saving President Diaz from the Mexican government -
Wonderful article I found - if you are interested I will send a copy -
What I am looking for is anything on CONEY you might have in your records -
I am willing to pay a fee for your time -
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Claudia Coney
