"BURIAL RECORDS", FANNIN COUNTY, TX
I am Al Metts of San Antonio, Texas. Please help me if you
can as I search for a book or pamphlet written by Rev. John
W. Connelly of Fannin County, Texas, - b. 1860, d. 1898.
I hope that I can find one of his descendants or some other
researcher who has the document.
An outstanding lady genealogist, now deceased, who lived in
Florida had access to the document long ago. She wrote notes
calling the document "Burial Records". In that document, the
minister wrote about the burial of James T. Aldridge who died
9 May 1880. Beside the record, Connelly wrote that the wife
of James T. Aldridge, "Mary Chadwell (1815-1888) was
daughter of David Chadwell (1790-1872)". I need that page
and a copy of the title page of the document. The burial was in
Porter Cemetery, Fannin County, Texas.
My reason for wanting this information is that James T. Aldridge,
Mary Chadwell and David C. Chadwell are ancestors of our
lovely first lady, Laura Welch Bush. She is a distant cousin of
mine.
If you do not know of the document, I will appreciate any advice
you will give me.
