Seeking Day family line
Posted by: Jeff Day (ID *****3966) Date: November 02, 2007 at 02:56:27

Hello to all,

I must be part of what I have heard and read from several sources...that of the "lost" Day clan.

The earliest information I can find is that my Great Grandfather was Joe Day. His son, my Grandfather whom I loved very dearly was Tom Day. His son, my Father was Ben Wayne Day. I do know that my Grandfather's family is from Bosque County as I attended a family reunion in Clifton, TX in the early 1980's. My Great Uncle Dillard was a Pastor in the area and a wonderful and Godly man.

The following is as far as my search as been able to take me:

ID: I2186
Name: Joe DAY
Sex: M
Birth: 26 JUL 1889 in Robertso Co., TX
Death: 7 JUL 1962 in Waco, McLennan Co. TX
Burial: UNKNOWN Coon Creek Cemetery, Boscue Co. Tx

Marriage 1 Edith SCROGGINS b: 20 FEB 1893 in Grimes Co. Texas
Married: BEF. 1909 in Bosque Co. TX
Children
Barney DAY b: 13 DEC 1909 in South Bend, TX
Ruth DAY b: 21 NOV 1911 in Bosque Co. TX
Ila Faye DAY b: 21 JUL 1914 in Bosque Co. TX
Tom DAY b: 8 NOV 1916 in Bosque Co. TX
Peggy Gladys DAY b: 28 AUG 1918 in Bosque Co. TX
Dillard DAY b: 14 SEP 1920 in Bosque Co. TX
Tera DAY b: 23 NOV 1922 in Smith Bend TX
George Washington DAY b: 22 FEB 1925
Joe Milton DAY b: 30 AUG 1927 in South Bend, TX
Joy DAY b: 24 MAR 1931 in South Bend, TX
Living DAY

I had never even heard of Edith Scroggins until I found this. The information regarding my Great Grandmother Edith Scroggins follows thusly:

ID: I2175
Name: Edith SCROGGINS
Sex: F
Birth: 20 FEB 1893 in Grimes Co. Texas
Death: UNKNOWN in Clifton TX
Burial: UNKNOWN Coon Creek Cemetery, Boscue Co. Tx

Father: Morgan Humphery SCROGGINS b: 1848 in FL
Mother: Anna Suffronia ALEXANDER b: BEF. 16 JUN 1855 in Pikes Co. AL

Marriage 1 Joe DAY b: 26 JUL 1889 in Robertso Co., TX

I know nothing beyond this. I am a history buff and have all my life LONGED to know where I came from so my children can know as they have a great interest in this as well.

I apologize for this being as long as it is, but if ANYONE has any relation to me or any knowledge of this line of the Days will you PLEASE help me know where, how, IF I can get further in my search to know who I am and where I am from.

I know that my Grandfather, whose name was Tom was married to Ruth Meeker. However, I know nothing of the Meeker line. I personally find this very tragic that I do not know and cannot find out any information. I have asked relatives but evidently my Day family wasn't adept at keeping records which saddens me greatly. ANY help would be more than appriciated.

May God bless any and all who have taken the time to read this and even more so if you can help.

Sincerely,
Jeff Day
