It's been several years since last placing information here. Am looking to make a connection with those having information on ELZA A. DAVENPORT and FRANCES CATHERINE FERGUSON married in GREEN CO., KY. These would be my GGgrandparents and, their daughter, LULA MILDRED (DAVENPORT), who married WILLIAM FRANK LAMAR in Moody, McLennan Co., TX, is my Ggrandmother. I have descendant information to share with relatives or anyone researching these lines. I've been looking for a connection to Elza and Frances for about ten years and just recently found information posted on the message boards, Rootsweb, and Geneology.com sites and it's peaked my interest and need to find out more about them.
I had the names of Elza/Elzy and Frances Catherine on a death certificate, funeral home records, newspaper obits, and on family lists written by family members. The only other piece of information I had for them was that they came from "Kentucky". That's all I had to go on to begin my search for these two. I have contacted another researcher and have come to the conclusion that this is a part of my family and would like to gain and share information.
Elza and Frances's daughter Lula Mildred, and son in law William Frank Lamar were married in Moody, TX. in 1886, raised the first five of nine children there, and moved to Abilene, Taylor Co., TX sometime after the census was taken in 1900. They were on the 1910 and 1920 census in Taylor County, TX. along with the last four of their children. William's obit states that they lived in Abilene for 28 years and he died in 1928 from burns he received when an oil heater exploded at a tourist camp (motel) he was staying at on the edge of town . Lula died of cancer in 1917 in Abilene, TX. Both Lula and William Frank are buried in the old city cemetary and I have located both of their gravesites.
I would appreciate any information on Elza and Frances Catherine or their ancestors so I can push my family lines a little further back in time. I can be contacted at my email address: dlamar1@suddenlink.net
Thanks for reading the post,
Dave Lamar
