Of
elusive relatives
Want to find: parents and/or siblings' descendants of
Margaret Collier (my paternal grandfather's mother)
Known facts:
-
Copy of page from Cleere Family Bible shows that C. E. Cleere
& S. M. Cleere (given name might be Sarah Margaret) were
married August 31, 1865 (not known where) *notation says this is his
2nd marriage.
-
Listed in 1880 Census of Freestone Co. TX as Sarah A. Clear
, age 34 b: (c1846), AL, Father b: SC, Mother b: NC; with
husband, Neal Clear and four children.
-
Named youngest daughter, Margaret Bell who was called
"Maggie". (maybe Margaret's mother's given/maiden name was Bell)
-
Son, Washington Lee Cleere's death certificate lists mother as
Margaret Collier
Does anyone have a Collier family living in either AL
(Lawrence Co.?) or Freestone Co. TX around 1865 that could be her
family? Any leads would be appreciated.
Want to find: parents, siblings, and/or other descendants
of Soloman Ingram (my paternal grandmother's
grandfather)
Known facts:
- Soloman born in GA according to 1880 Census of Johnson
Co. TX. Lists wife Elizabeth (C. Paine) ; four children &
three grandchildren.
Aminda Ingram, 18, dtr, AR, f-GA, m-NC
Sol Ingram, 8, son, TX, f-GA, m-NC
M. Stevens, 30 (or 36), dtr, GA, f-GA, m-NC
Fannie Stevens, 4, gdtr, TX, f-GA, m-GA
Z. Hancock, 8, gson, TX, f-GA, m-GA
I. McNeal, 27, dtr, AR, f-GA, m-NC
Effie McNeal, gdtr, TX, f-AR, m-AR
-
Parents of 15 children of which only 7 were living at the time
of the 1900 Census of Comanche Co. TX.
-
Tombstone in Union Cemetery, Gustine, Comanche, TX shows that
Soloman was born May 24, 1826; died March 24, 1911. Elizabeth born
August 14, 1830; died June 18, 1915.
Thanks to Dr. Charles Ingram, Jr., I have been able to connect my Ingram family to his research and have gained a lot on my ancestors and other branches of the Ingram tree. I'll have the outline page up soon.
I would still like to hear from Ingram researchers, particularly descendants of Soloman & Elizabeth Ingram.
