Comments: I myself have been researching different lines of family (mine and my husbands) for several years. I guess I first started back in the 80's. I am so glad to see some of the old records being put out there on the web. Thanks for all the great info, it really does help. It is hard for me to travel to all the places our ancestors lived, to research records. This really helps us that can't do a lot of traveling. I wish more counties would put more out there. Thanks again. Great job.

Comments: I was wondering if your list of veterans was Hood County natives or past or current residents? If your list is of Hood Countians, was it taken from the roster board that is located on the first floor of the County Courthouse. My Aunt, Flossie Doris Liles complied several volumes of research on the Dillards, Bartons, Liles and several other families ties from the Fairview Community. Several of these volumes of research were donated to the Hood County libary upon her death.

Arther Chapman was born 4/27/1883 in Kaufman Tx. and died 12/1/1965 in Ft. Worth Tx. Ardella was born in Commache Tx. 7/29/1881 and died 10/24/1969 in Coleman Tx. They are both buried in Grandbury Tx. The one thing I remmember about my grandmother is that she was or looked to be a full blooded Native American (Indian). And my grandfather had lost one of his arms just below the elbow. It would mean a lot to me if I could find out all I could about them , mainly my grandmother because I know the least about her.

Comments: Absultely the best I have found in my search for ancestors, I wish all communities would follow your leand ...a real service to mankind ...thankyou. We errected a tombstone to James C. McCoy and Margaret McCoy nee Ledbetter in Craigmont, Idaho this past memorial day, They are my great grandparents. Following the Civil War James & Margaret went west in covered wagons to SE Wash. & Idaho, had 12-14 children. Died approx 1910 near Craigmont and have been in unmarked graves until we found them a few years ago. James served in Civil War along with a broher or two, ...there is a hard to read letter from what must have been Margaret's mother with only the name Hood Co. on the top. I looked up every Hood Co. in the country until I found yours. Now that I know you have the records you have I will go dig out that letter. I would like to find out if she is buried in your area. James tombstone in Craigmont has the inscription "Granburys Texas Brigade" and the VFW Honored him the past Memorial DAy... Anyway thanks again, I will be back...JOhn

Comments: I was delighted to find this material. It's more than I've been able to locate from other sources. Fenley is not a common surname, but it's hard to find much. As I said, my grandparents were John and Myrtle Fenley. I was once told that my grandfather's name was Uz, but I've never found any record of it. My grandparents lived on and farmed land owned by Mr. Sears (I think). My grandmother went to the Baptist Church in Hood. My grandfather was a Mason. Sons included. Loren, Bill (wife Mary) - they farmed near hood then moved to Gainesville, J.C., Claude (my father), Gordon. A girl (Dorthy) who died in childbirth and a toddler (Carl) who drown at the farm. There was an uncle (Noal - Noel (?) who had a dairy in Hood. He had a son by the name of Donnie. My father and uncles when to Era school as did I for a while in the early grades. Most of my family is buried in the cemetery just outside hood. Any information whould be appreciated. Don Fenley

Kelsoe--concrete cover on graves---tombstone shows Etta Dooly-(1880-1902) and Ada L.M. Kelsoe - (1955-1902) . I have been unable to find the cemetery where they are buried. It should be near Paluxy but may be in Somervell or Erath counties. W.T. Dooly's father was Wm Dooly---Hood County Records show him to be a Justice of the Peace in Dist. # 3, ID No. 197. This family came to OK Territory (Greer County) in 1902. Records show they were in Hood County in 1884--came from Alabama.

Comments: I really have enjoyed your web site, my great-grandfather(David Eddleman 1845-1918)immigrated to Texas from Georgia in 1854 with his parents and brothers and sisters near Hill City. He and one of his brothers (Asbury F. Eddleman) served in the Civil war and settled in Hood county. My grandfather (James Asbury Eddleman 1874-1956) and father (David H. Eddleman 1924-1970) were born in Hood county. Some of my earliest memorys are from visting my grandfather at his house in Tolar and visting relatives in Granbury. Your web site has provided me with a great deal of missing family information.

Comments: I have many, many ancestors that settled Hood County including John Wasdin Jones, County Commissioner in the late 1800's. How do I contibute to your society? I have photos and letters that are significant to the history of Hood County. My grandfather (my mother's father) was Samuel Houston Jones, son of Jesse and Nellie Jones. Sam Jones was born 3/16/1905 south of Granbury on his parents' farm near Mambrino and attended Mambrino school as a boy with his sisters, Iva Clarice Jones and Bettye Sue Mae Jones. (Jesse Wasdin Jones was the son of John Wasdin Jones, and Nellie Fowler Owen Jones was the daughter of William B. Owen and Elizabeth (?). My mother's mother was Sarah Aline Jemison Jones, daughter of William (Billy) Jemison and Sara Sally Williams Jemison. These are the people I am most closely descended from, and I would like to know more about why these people settled in Hood County. Thanks for the opportunity to comment; this Website is terrific for my geneological search. Kathleen M. Graham

Comments: I was moved by the Comanche Peak story of Black Star. My roots are really Native American but I was adopted by and raised white. The second to last paragraph speaks well of how and why Hood County has a wealth of information and the wanting to know roots. I have learned that from tracing my own and meeting an Uncle who taught me all I know of the natural ways. It's tradition. So when Black Star tells her story it resonates then as it will many years from now.

As you can see why I request the information FREE I can't afford to pay for the data I have. I know you cand understand. I would like to talk with the person/person's who set up your web site. I would like to do something like that for the city of Orangeburg, SC where the Felder family started in 1735 from Switzerland.

Granbury is one of my favorite places, and since we live in Florida now, having Hood Co. homepage to visit is a real plus when I get homesick for Texas. I think my gg grandfather I. Thomas Lambert gave the land for the city to be built on in 1864, according to Claudia Williams notes from her research. My father, James David Williams, Jr. grew up in Granbury and always had stories to tell about his experiences in Hood Co. Enjoy your homepage, keep up the good work and keep adding more info.

Comments: Any information on these names would be appreciated. Dates of arrival in the county and from where they lived before moving to Hood County is needed. I am glad to see Friendship Cemetery on the list. Thanks for the hard work.

Comments: Was currious about family tree on Dads side of the family... He was born north of Dallas? (Grapevine Dec 1 1919). I don't know where Hood Co. is.. but was looking to see if Swift & Owensby names existed there around the turn of the century.. they both do. I don't have time now to start doing reseach as I'm a complete novice in geneology and have a lot of other projects in progress... but now have a starting place when I get time. Thanks for letting me get my feet wet and find a starting place. Dad is now in a rest home and I just found out somewhere back on his moms side there was some Indian blood in the family. I think he said it was on the Sykes side.. which is also in your list too. Thanks again, Mike Swift

Comments: I wanted to thank the lady from the Hood County Genealogical Society that used to work at the Hood County Library. She was actually at the library looking up records when I was there. I was having a hard time reading hand written notes of an old judge in Hood Co., and she helped me decipher them. My grandmother Vennie Hudgins taught school at George's Creek and Fort Spunky. I am trying to obtain a copy of the book "Of a People and a Creek". My grandmother is in that book. If anyone can help me please e-mail.
