Message Board Post:
Hi, Robin. The Cages are shirttail cousins of my Blanco County, TX kin. My main families
are Shugart. Ledbetter, Price, Smith, Mourfield and Slaughter. Early this year, I bought a
copy of Moursund's "Blanco County Families for 100 Years" because my
grandmother's family were early settlers there. I became so fascinated with the
interrelationships among the families that I started adding to my file anyone who was
related to my family by birth or marriage. So far, I have entered more than 12,000 names,
and I have discovered that it is true that everyone is related to everyone else in a small
town. I still have 155 pages of information to examine and enter. I post my updated files
on RootsWeb Family Trees on a monthly basis. I am interested in information on Blanco
County families 1858-1958 and their descendants. I list all my sources under
"Notes" for each person. If you are willing to share whatever family info you
have for Benjamin Cage and all his descendants, please e-mail !
me. I would be pleased to add it to my Tree on RootsWeb.
