children, born from 1893 through 1899. He died in Bonham, Fannin
County, TX on 06-Feb-1901 and is buried in Section F in the Willow
Wild cemetery in Bonham. Have been unable to find any record of
him anywhere in Arkansas and, in fact, have been up against a solid
brick wall on finding anything about when he was born, more exactly
where he was born or anything at all about his parents and any possible
siblings. Dennnis and Nannie were my grandparents. I have information
on the Robinson line back to the 1500's in England, but have struck
out on Dennis. Can anybody in or around Bonham help me find someting
about Dennis? Is there a newspaper or library in Bonham or Fannin

William Levin AINSWORTH died in Eastland CO 1918. He was married
to Mary Ann HOUSE, died in 1930. There was a Larkin AINSWORTH in
Eastland Co at the same time as my ancestor. I believe there is
a connection. Larkin is buried at the cemetery which is only accessible
by boat, Providence, I think. I would like to connect with descendants
of Larkin to vaildate my theory. .

YOU at the Clayton Genealogy Library here in Houston, TX IN EXCHANGE
for research done for ME in other libraries. I CANNOT research documents

an on-line catalog which can be reached through the USGenWeb page

at home Mama with more time than money for my own research and I
hope that there are others out there in the same situation. I visit
the Clayton at least twice a month. I am interested in research
in the following states: VA, WV, OH, NC, KY, TN, IN, IL, WI, IA.
Does anyone out there have access to info from those states? Hope

my ggrandfather in Collin Co. in 1901 & remarried a man named J.B.
STONE on the same day the divorced was granted. Her children and
her ex-husband James Elisha SCOTT was living in Hopkins Co., James
Elisha SCOTT then married Clissie Etta RUSHING. Lula, as part of
the divorced decree, took back her maiden name FAULKNER before she
married J.B.STONE. I believe Lula was in the Hopkins Co. area for
a time to stay close to her children. The children lost touch with
their mother. Any info on her life with J.B. STONE would be greatly
