Daun YOUNG Tue Apr 22 22:38:10 1997
Am seeking any information on Paulipe (or possibly Paulite) YOUNG. 1870 Census shows him being in Coffeeville, Upshur, Texas at age 55. His wife on this census is "Mary" and the census indicated that she was blind. Paulipe's son, Irving YOUNG ( according to family legend) was taken in an Indian raid when he was seven years old. He never saw his family again, and spent most of his adult life searching for them. Irving thinks he was born in 1863 on Christmas Day, but we do not know what State. Paulipe and Mary YOUNG were both on the census as being from North Carolina. Any help on these people would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and trouble.

SURNAMES: Redden WILSON
QRYTEXT: I am looking for the exact location of a cemetary which is supposed to be located about four miles from Gilmer. It is called the Old Paron Cemetary. I have a list of the individuals buried there. My great, great grandfather Redden WILSON is supposed to be buried there. A John WILSON is also buried there. Could anyone help me locate this cemetary? Thanks, CLYDE WILSON
