Conaway/Rowlett
I am trying to locate a lady named Deborah who posted messages on here in 2000 concerning a Conaway family that went to Waco, Tx. I don't have her last name. The family is as follows:
This family moved to Waco, Texas from Henderson Ky ~1898:
James Samuel Connaway (Father) b 1853
Dixie Rowlett Connaway (Mom) b Ark. 1863
Children to this marriage:
Guy Lester Connaway 1881 marr Vesta Upchurch
Leland Rowlett 1885 marr Mamie Tarpley
Lelia Walkup 1885 marr B Sherrill and J Powell
Waverly 1884-1886

Mildred 1888-1889
Wiliam Josey 1890 marr Sherrill
Edward Wilson 1893 marr K McGee
James S Jr 1896 marr Lida Hudson

John Wilkens 1899 marr 3X no kids
Dixie Amanda 1901marr Lester Powell
Ida E 1902-1903
Harry 1905-1905
Some were married in Moody, some in Waco... some died in other counties...Five served in WWI in "the American Army in France" and two more "selected on the list ready to go when calles." (quote from letter dated 1918 from Colonel Bates, Commanding officer Infantry Camp McArthur to Mrs Dixie Elizabeth Rowlett Connaway, Webster Street, Waco, Texas.
Anyone who knows of this family or of Deborah please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Tom Rowlett
