Surname: CAWLEY
-------------------------
Hello Nita
I think you are right that most of the Cawley's came from Alabama or Mississippi
area in the migration to Texas during the 1850-1880's.I may have to widen
my search to those places.
I think Steve's Cawley's came from Illinois,( William E.Cawley).Most of
the others came from Al. I suspect my wife's grandmother may have been
from the south. Her name was Lilla Lee Cawley (1878-1926).The william E
Cawley was married in San Saba Cty,Tx which is near Eastland Cty,Tx. He
married a Dawson that was Cherokee heritage. I'm really searching this
one out, but may be on the wrong track.
Thanks for the input. Most of the other Texas relatives came from Alabama,
so Lilla Lee Cawley may have also.
The name Lilla is unusual- it may have been a family name for Deliiah.
I'll keep and eye out for McDaniel
Thanks Bud Lewis
