RE: Rebecca & Oliver Herman MOOREoore
Ron,

Your are quite welcome. It takes all of us working together to make Find A Grave a better place. I'm glad I was able to help you out. I have uploaded a headstone photo to both memorials.

Rebecca & Oliver Herman Moore
Ron,

The burial location for both of these individuals is incorrect. They are both buried in Block 13 Lot 7 of Cleburne Memorial Cemetery. I have a headstone photo taken there that confirms burial. Secondly Rosehill did not even exist until late 1939 or early 1940. So there's no way they could have been buried there. I believe you and I have covered this ground before when you requested a headstone photo for both memorials. I now know why their names do not appear in the transcripts for Rosehill. It's because they are NOT buried there. Let me know when you correct the burial location for both memorials and I will be happy to upload the headstone photo I have.

Thanks for your hard work but I would like to suggest a correction. I believe the marriage date posted is actually Thomas Snipes date of death. He's my 1st cousin 3 times removed. They were actually married 26 Sep 1897.

My source is "Texas, Marriages, 1837-1973," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FX78-Q8Q : accessed 18 Feb 2013), T. W. Snipes and Ella Holliday, 26 Sep 1897.

Catherine Dickison Humphreys
You have Catherine Dickison Humphreys being born born in 1740 and marrying John Humpreys in 1750 when she would have been 9 to 10 years old depending on how the birthday fell? This is one of many things in my line from Isabella Leech and Chichester that I find suspect. Also the 2 volume work done on the Humpreys doesn't mention anyone that is posted here in this line. IS there some other reference material that is being used? Where is this info coming from? I see this stuff on ancestry all of the time, dates not jiving, people getting married after they are dead, having kids before they are born, etc. I am not saying that you are doing this, I am just curious what record you have that shows these two got married when she was around 10 years of age? Thanks Owen.

Mary W Cook
Hi Ron, I took some pictures of Mary W Cooks grave for you a while back. They have done some work in the cemetery. I have taken some more pictures of her grave. They have put her stone back together. I was wondering if you would like them.

I don't know if she related to my Thornton's.
While researching my Thornton's family members if I found a death certif on another Thornton I attached the death certif.

My Thornton's are related to Stonecipher, Christopher, McPherson family. If I do find out she is related, I will let you know.

I don't know if she related to my Thornton's. I do have 69 Thornton's in the family. As I was researching my Thornton's I was adding death certif of other Thornton's. My Thornton's are related to Stonecipher, Christophers, McPhersons family of Texas and California.

RE: Ruth Dunham
I recently ran onto a Findagrave contributor that told people not place death certificates on his memorials, which seemed quite unusual. After all, how could he stop them, and under what grounds? As far as I am concerned, if it is a legal document connected to that person, I think it is part of their story, and death certificates usually contain several types of important information. Yes, I certainly would post a death certificate for Ruth Dunham.

RE: Ruth Dunham
Hello Ron,
I've just been sent a Topeka Daily Capital newspaper article, dated Nov. 27, 1926, which states that Ruth Dunham committed suicide by taking strychnine poison. I have added this article to her Findagrave page. Looks like I need to get the detailed newpaper obit from the Wichita paper just to get a more accurate report of their article. A copy of her death certificate would be very interesting. I'm certainly not any expert on her or her death, but it appears (to me) that suicide will be the official cause of death.

John Boon Family
Hi Ron. I'll try to keep this short. Its been quite a few years since I actually looked at my genealogy information. I believe I had received a lot of information from John Daniel Boone probably 10 years ago. I can trace my line back to John and Elizabeth Alford. To try and solve the mystery, I had submitted my dna to the Boone dna project. I did not end up having the same dna as those who can trace themselves back to Daniel Boone. Since the test is for male dna, this shows that John Boons father could not have been a brother of Daniel. After finding that out, my view changed to maybe John was the illegitimate child of a female Boone and then was raised as a Boone. I guess we'll never know.
