What you have created represents a great job. It must have taken lots of hours of research. Thank you for your efforts. I just wonder why KOREA was not considered a War? Many prople from Bastrop COunty including myself from Elgin entered the Military as were called to do so. Some did not return... I joined the Navy in Austin from Elgin following 1949 graduation from High School..

The Bastrop County site is one of the very best I have ever seen in my genealogy work. I would like to note a correction that needs to be made to the Civil War records which show F.A. Grosse as a Civil War soldier for the South. It doesn't really matter which side is discussed, north or south, because F.A. Grosse and his family immigrated to Bastrop County from Dessau arriving on March 30, 1869.....well after the Civil War was over war was over.

I am looking for information on Colonel Manlove and Major A W Hill who were residents of Bastrop County in 1830s and later. They were mentioned in the obituary of Emiline Moore Davis found in a family bible which is annotated as from a Bastrop newspaper. The remarks of the preacher at the funeral on Oct 15, 1872 included that she had come to Mina with Col Manlove in 1835 and was rescued by Major Hill in 1839.
Name: Octavia <octalogic102@yahoo.com> Date: 2009-09-01 Surnames in Bastrop County Marvell, Trigg State of Residence Mine Utah Comments:
My name is Octavia Logan. I am researching my family. I have found many great leads, and now I’m trying to confirm all the information I found. I am not sure who I need to talk to. I can tell you this about my family:
Most of my life I have knew that Elvira Triggs is my Great Great Grand Mother. What I found was that she her name was Elvira Marvell married to Lance Trigg. They were married in 1904. At this point I wanted to found Elvira’s birth certificate, when to my amazement I found that Marvell was not her birth name. She had been married before to a Dave Marvell her name at that time was Elvira Thomas. I found both of them in the Male Index to Marriage Record, for Bastrop County, Texas. I also found that Dave or David may have been the son of Jerry and Margaret Marvell. If I can prove this it will document my family’s history back to 1834 when Jerry Marvell was born.
On the Male Index to Marriage Record, for Bastrop County, Texas I found that there was a Joe and John Marvell and I wonder if they are any relation to Jerry.
Now to why I’m writing you; I have been doing a lot of research and I notice that quite a few of the records you have for Blacks in Bastrop Count, that the Family History Center in Salt Lake City house are not digitally preserved. I am hoping that you will allow me to build a data base for them. I have many year of experience doing data entry, and in my spare time I use the Family Tree data base to log batches of the US Census. Most of the records from Bastrop County that I found are still on micro film. I would love to digitally preserve them for others who want to found their link to the past also.
My one main concern is finding out all I can about my family so I will be happy with any information or help on where to look. I would like to thank you for your time. Please feel free to contact me through e-mail or by phone.
Sincerely,
Octavia Logan

I've been using your site for several years doing my family's genealogy. It has been most helpful. My ancestors are buried in the Gazely Cemetery in Smithville The land owner took us on his private property so we could take pictures and was most cordial to us. The courthouse in Bastrop was also so very nice and helpful.
Thank you so much for contributing to such a wonderful web site. You are to be congratulated. To all in Bastrop County THANKS

Trying to find out where the old newspapers that would have included obituaries for persons in Elgin are located? I called the Elgin library but they stated they only keep the last 3 weeks worth of papers?? They suggested the historical society, but so far I've been unable to contact anyone with the number provided. Can anyone assist?

I am the son of Harry Cayton Erhard and Maude Amelia Miles Erhard, who were the last owners of C. Erhard and Son, Texas Oldest Drugstore. My sister, Bonnie Marie, died in May of 1995 and her husband Robert Zunker died in February of 2005 -- both are buried in Fairview Cemetary, Bastrop, in the Cayton Erhard Plot with all the other deceased Erhards.
I was born and raised in Bastrop, attended the Bastrop schools and when there, I was called Cayton (my middle name). This name change took place when I entered the service, and I now go by "Al". My wife and I have lived in California since March of 1952 where we have raised 12 children (6 sons and 6 daughters). We are the grandparents of 35, great grandparents of 6 with 2 more on the way; many of these descendants have the surname of Erhard, so the name will go on and on, etc. It would be nice to hear from some of my old friends, but I don't know where they are now.

Hi:
I believe I am a direct descendant of William and Elizabeth Smith who are buried in the Smith Cemetery of Smithville, Texas.
William and Elizabeth had eight boys.
One of them, William R. Smith married a Tempy Gage.
William R., Franklin, Henry C., and possibly others moved to McLennan, Limestone Counties sometime after father William died. They are listed on the 1880 census in these counties.
William R. and Tempy had Mary Elisa, Sallie A. (Allie,Ally)?, Joseph, J. Franklin, Henry.
Henry is my grandfather.
I do not yet have documented proof.
I am trying to find this documented proof.
Thanks,
Patricia Ruskauff

Would be interested in any information any one would have on any McLeods or Speegles in the area. My husband's family lived in this part of Texas before his father was born - which was 1919. His great grandfather came from FL to TX and there seems to be some lost time that we can not obtain information about and some stories we were told that we have not been able to confirm. Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't had a chance to check on my other grandparents that lived on a farm outside of Bastrop and then moved to Bastrop on Water Street in about 1956. I think I was about 11 when they sold the farm.
Great job!

SOME RELATIONSHIPS OF EARLY COLONISTS
Leander Woods, arrived 1824 from Missouri, occupation farmer
He was brother to Norman B.Woods. Leander Killed at Battle of Velasco near Brazoria, Brazoria County, Texas-January 25, 1832
Martin Wells arrived 1830 from Alabama, occupation farmer
Daughter was Jane Boyd Wells, wife of Norman B. Woods. Norman was taken prisoner as result of Dawson Massacre- Perote Prison, Mexico(captured at Salado Creek, Dawson Massacre-died December 16, 1843-Jane later married Henry Gonzalvo Woods, Norman’s brother. Norman and Jane were my gg grandparents.
John B. Walters, arrived 1825 from Missouri, occupation farmer
John Booth Walters was first husband of Margaret Wells, Martin Wells daughter and sister of Jane Boyd Wells. John Walters died February 24, 1839. Buried at Brushy Creek, Bastrop County, Republic of Texas
Sarah Cottle arrived 1831, widow and family
Maiden name was Sarah Turner, daughter of Winslow Turner, ggg granddaughter of Myles Standish, married Stephen Cottle, son of Joseph Cottle and Azubah Powers. Stephen Cottle was the Nephew of Norman B. Woods, Leander Woods, and Henry Gonzalvo Woods. Their mother Minerva, was his sister.
Sylvenus Cottle arrived 1835
Not absolutely postive of identity of Sylvenus Cottle. Sarah Turner Cottle and Stephen Cottle had a son named Sylvanus, born 1820. This may be him. If not, he is definitely related.

Tammy, thank you, thank you. I have found the recording of the marriage of my great grandparents, John Simpson to Harriet Ramsey, Jan. 25, 1855. One problem I am having though is printing a copy of this page (139), seems I can only get it to print John Simpson's name and not Harriet Ramsey's. Is there anyway I can get a copy of this page?
Thanks,

Very helpful site. Still looking for more information on Charles Wertzner, postmaster in Bastrop in the 1800's. I believe he married someone named Fransisca or Frances. His daughter, Pauline, married a Dietz, probably also from Bastrop. Would appreciate any information so we can continue to fill out our family tree.

Name: Ernest Young <eyoung@felpsis.net> Date: 2003-12-14 State of Residence Texas Comments:
You have an impresive and extensive website. It has much information on it. I especially like the idea of the Consolidated Files pages. Very useful and a timesaver to the researcher, too. However, they are now so large, that it takes too long to load them with a 56K phone modem. I never did get the WXYZ page to finish loading the W's, much less get to the Y's. A "Young, W.L., headstone..." name I picked out of there several weeks back, never came up today. The Consolidated Files pages need to be split into each letter of the alphabet, or more, to speed the downloading time for the many people like me who do not have, or can't afford, high speed, cable modem or DSL lines availble.
Thank you, and keep up the good work.

Rev. Andrew B. Thornton was a Baptist Minister in Bastrop Co., TX at the time his daughter was born Dec 1909. I was wondering if anyone has a printed 1910 Census & church records that they could look and see if he is listed. We are collecting information for the 125 birthday of the Rock Bluff Baptist Church in Comanche Co., TX. Andrew and his wife Susan E. "Susie SPENCER Thornton were members of this church. They married and lived in the Rock Bluff community from 1898 until 1907.
