Welcome the March 2006 Guestbook entries. Periodically I pull off the messages from the message board and go to McKinney to do a little research. Im happy to share my findings with all of you. I also will place these in the query section of our Society Quarterly in hopes that a connection will contact you. Here are the latest queries:

Surnames in Collin County? Hunter/ Howard
Comments:
I am looking for any information on a John and Comina Hunter and family that moved to Collin Co in the 1850s. Would like to find out where John and Comina are buried. Also any information on Virginia E Howard who married John Ruffis Hunter in 1875
I did not find a death or marriage record for any of these 4 people. There was a death record for JP Hunter 11/21/1924 and a John Willis Hunter 1/6/1907. In the 1860 census John and Comina are listed in McKinney with 9 children ranging from 22 to age 1. Many of their neighbors are later buried at Ware cemetery.

Any info on Bert and Maggie Irene Huebsch marriage and life in Anna or Collin County. Any information on Bert's natural father, Alex Lane from Howe, Grayson County, TX.
