Hi, I just added a family book to my website that includes outlines of most
my major lines with links to these counties or surnames you are researching
depending on who is reading this post.

For those searching for Click family members who came to Texas, there
are five Click names that I found in Land Survey Abstract Indices of the
Original Owners of Lamar Co., TX. These are the Clicks I found:Terrell
L., William C., Mathias, R. K., and Andrew J. These Clicks are near the
bottom of the list and this is not in alphabetical order.

This is Lamar Co., TX. Scroll down to the Land Survey Abstract Indices.
This might help someone.

My gr-gr-grandfather Abram Click was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1830
and died in Cimaron, Kansas in 1905. He married Mary Ann Sample in 1852.
She died in 1865. He married second, Clarissa Froelich. Am seeking the
parents of Abram.
Grandma's Disease
Author unknown
There's been a change in Grandma, we've noticed her of late.
She's always reading history or jotting down some date.
She's tracking back the family, we'll all have pedigrees.
Oh, Grandma's got a hobby - she's climbing the FAMILY TREE.
Poor Grandpa does the cooking, and now, or so he states,
That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and dinner plates.
Grandma can't be bothered, she's busy as a bee,
Compiling genealogy for the FAMILY TREE.
She has no time to babysit, the curtains are a fright,
No buttons left on Grandpa's shirt, the flower bed's a sight.
She's given up her club work and the soaps on TV,
The only thing she does nowadays is climb the FAMILY TREE.
She goes down to the courthouse and studies ancient lore,
We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before.
The books are old and dusty, they make poor Grandma sneeze,
A minor irritation when you're climbing the FAMILY TREE.
The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far,
Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR.
A monumental project all do agree,
All from climbing the FAMILY TREE.
Now some folks came from Scotland, some from Galway Bay,
Some were French as pastry, some German all the way.
Some went West to stake their claims, some stayed there by the sea.
Grandma hopes to find them all, as she climbs the FAMILY TREE.
She wanders through the graveyard in search of date and name,
The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same.
She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze,
That blows above the Fathers of all our FAMILY TREES.
There are pioneers and patriots, mixed in our kith and kin,
Who blazed the paths of wildness and fought through thick and thin.
But none more staunch than Grandma, who eyes light up with glee,
Each time she finds a missing branch for the FAMILY TREE.
Their skills were wide and varied, from carpenter to cook,
And one, alas, the records show, was hopelessly a crook.
Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge - some tutored for a fee.
Once lost in time, now all recorded on the FAMILY TREE.
To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more,
She learns the joys and heartaches of those that went before.
They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept - and now, for you and
me,
They live again in spirit around the FAMILY TREE.
At last she's nearly finished and we are each exposed,
Life will be the same again, this we all supposed.
Grandma will cook and sew, serve cookies with our tea.
We'll all be fat, just as before the wretched FAMILY TREE.
Sad to relate, the preacher called and visited for a spell.
We talked about the Gospel, and other things as well.
The heathen folk, the poor and then - 'twas fate, it had to be,
Somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and the FAMILY TREE.
He never knew his Grandpa, his mother's name was...Clark?
He and Grandma talked and talked, outside it grew quite dark.
We'd hoped our fears were groundless, but just like some disease,
Gramdma's become an addict - she's hooked on FAMILY TREES!
Our souls are filled with sorrow, our hearts sad with dismay.
Our ears could scarce believe the words we heard our Grandma say,
"It sure is a lucky thing that you have come to me,
I know exactly how it's done. I'll climb your FAMILY TREE."
ANON.
My first post (at least I think it is??) Seeking information on the above.
Jacob Click is my g-g-grandfather. Born abt 1832, he married Julie Ann Brown
d/o of Low Brown, Jr (another line I'm searching). Jacob and Julie Ann had 10
children all born in Ky we believe ( I have all their names/most DOB's).
Jacob is thought to have at least one brother, James; it's likely that there
were many more siblings. Have nothing on his parents that is even more solid
than jello.
Any help/info/clues/links truly appreciated. If posting, please also e-mail
