Hello all,
I'm new to the list, having recently taken up the task to trace my family
line through the sands of time. I'd like to submit the following information
in hopes that someone finds it familiar. Moo if this sounds like your family.
My father's family is mostly scattered from AR throughout the Southwest. For
several generations they have lived in West Texas, and the panhandle area. I
have good documentation for my grandfather's generation, and it peters out in
_his_ grandfather's generation. Here is what I have:
1. Lutious Virgil Case (no birth or death dates known) m. Jane Garrison (no
dates)
- Harvey Stimpson Case b. 2 Feb 1894 d. 18 Jun 1938, buried in Turkey,
TX.
Harvey, Lutious' son had five siblings: Bessie Mae, Tilman, Cecil,
Ernest, and
Clifford Virgil.
2. Harvey Stimpson's children:
-Charlie Renois
-Olis Edward
-Juanita Marie
Wilmuth Helen
Jackie Lee
Bobby Edwin
Martha Jane
Frances Inez "Tootsie"
Ruby Dell
Charlie Renois was my grandfather. Family lore has it that there is some
connection with Tennessee - there is a story that one of the Case men,
possibly Lutious himself, had gone "back east" to Tennessee to sell a parcel
of land, and had died or disappeared en route, never returning to the
homestead in Texas. If anyone has any facts to add to this story they'd be
appreciated. I have also heard rumors in my family of connections to
Kentucky, it is possible we held land there at one time also. If anyone has
any clues there please let me know.
Those trying to make links to the names I mentioned above should be aware
that most of this family branch's "near" roots center in Texas towns in
Hall,
Armstrong, and Jones counties. There is a bit of diaspora, some of us live in
New England now, others in California, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Happy scribbling everyone, can't wait to hear about my missing links.
Wendy Case
